It's a big site, so have a good look around and just start posting anywhere that something catches your attention. What kind of eating and exercising plan are you following? Have you taken a look at the DIET CENTRAL area yet . . . just about all of the popular plans have their own little forums.
BTW . . . just so you know -- for future reference -- 1 kg = 2.2 pounds -- so at the moment you weight about 248 pounds. Your December goal is 198 pounds (a great goal by the way -- a lot of us are aiming for that great place we call "Onderland" i.e., under 200 pounds. ) Your longer term goal is 165 pounds. We will be here to cheer you on for every one of those pounds.
Have a great evening, Chickie . . . hope we'll see you again really soon.

Thanks for the warm welcome and the explanations.
My diet is good though as a Mediterranean I do love the excessive use of olive oil (but I am handling very well with that since I discovered the wok). I went to a diet specialist, who is really cool (and I am saying that and I was never fond of specialists like her). Luckily by nature I am not fond of red meat so I never eat it. I have a lot of salads, yogurt (the only thing I was never too fond of but alas I have to eat it) chicken, fish and vegetables.
I always loved chocolate (alas) but now I can have only once a week. But I keep fighting the cravings though.
Luckily by nature I do not eat jams, I am not crazy over fried food and pizza (ok I usually crave for them every few months, have my dose and won't ask for them for another few months) and I only drink water (yep no soft drinks and no juices). My alcohol dosage (lol) is a glass of cocktail (Vanilla Russian), or Bailey's, when I am going out.
My exercising habits now. I started going to the gym 2 months ago (even before I started dieting) but I am still quite lazy. I go 5-6 times a week and I do 30 minutes of cardiovascular exercise (either the bike, the treadmill or the Nordic Truck) My favorite is the Nordic Truck, then the bike and last the treadmill (I always fear I am gonna fall). In the summer I love to swim in the sea for an hour or two.
Lol the "Onderland" is a good name. As I say it for myself, I want to reach the two-digits land (99kg downwards).
Thanks for the cheer and good luck to you all!
