My name is Mazarin, or Alison. I am 27 and live here in the UK! I am a failed dieter to many times and really need to get my life sorted because everything just makes me feel so down at times!
I finally plucked up the courage to join a gym this week and will go for my first induction later this week! I am really excited about it.
I am thinking I will do more swimming to start with as I am normally a major couch potato person! I am not going to get myself worked up about what others are going to think of me in my swimming costume! Something I have done for so long… I use to love Swimming but when I got to around the 280lbs mark I just gave up and needless to say I have just got bigger and bigger since then. At my current weight of 342lbs I take little exercise apart from walking to the bus stop, or a quick once around the block with my JRT!
I have set a target of 280lbs for 1st December, which might be unreal at the moment, but I’ll be more than happy if I reached the 300lbs mark for then!
Mazarin, welcome. This is a wonderful forum that you can get inspiration, motivation and courage from. It has been a godsend to me since I started my "lifestyle" change back in April. Join the threads and just jump in. I think we are on #734.
