Well, i decided to find a forum today as i guess i was in denial up until now. I had been weighing myself in pounds rather than stones as it is less scary but today not realising someone had changed the setting on the digital scales, i saw my weight and it wasn't pleasent. I've decided that i want to lose weight so that i can feel good about myself and not hide away in massive jumpers etc. By the looks of things people are doing really well on here! I shall put all my failed dieting attempts down to that i'd never had support from anyone before, not even parents. Hopefully that will help spur me on! I started using this diet pill called 'Slim bomb' 2 days ago, I don't feel hungry at all and i just want to drink water all the time. I don't know whether it will help! I'm willing to try anything!
My first goal is to reach 230!

p.s. can't wait to get a ticker! i wonder how long that takes!

Welcome to 3FC! I'm so glad you found it. I love it!
It's great that you don't feel hungry, but I hope that you will keep eating anyway. If you eat too little your body will go into starvation mode and you won't lose weight.
You can add a signature/ticker after you've been around 30 days and have posted 30 times.
I hope you'll stick around, and keep letting us know how you're doing!

I'm definately sticking around! The past week i've been making sure i only eat 3 healthy meals a day and if i feel hungry between a meal i drink water and if that doesnt help then fruit!
Thanks for the quick reply!

Welcome!
You'll get a ticker after 30 posts/30 days. I just got mine today, I'm very happy about it!
I think you've already started reading about the different life-style changes people here have made, about the goals they achieved. It's really empowering, and you'll find great tips, sound information, great advice and a ton of support!

What kind of life-style change do you feel it's better for you?

I joined the gym in September '07 and went regularly for the first term of my school year and then after the christmas holidays i let it slip but now i'm back on it! In those 3/4 months i went to the gym i had more energy and it relieved sooo much stress, it was really good!

Welcome to the forum!
Good for you for getting back to the gym. Yes, exercise surely does help physically and mentally!
There are lots of great threads to post in here... let us know if you need any pointers.

RaluCat, you're making great progress... keep it up!!
