Hey I'm new!

  • Heya, My name is Jenny i'm 19 and from the UK. I've reached the point where i need to stop what i'm doing and sort it out. over the last year i've steadily put on weight about 2 stone in fact. Which i'd lost the year before. I've got a month before i go back to uni and would love to be able to wear my skinny jeans (there is a huge stack of them sitting in my wardrobe!)

    I love fruit and vegetables and sticking to an almost entirely vegan diet is the way to go for me, it worked last time. I also need to get the exercise going, when i go back to uni i shall join the gym and have rugby but until then i need to do something.

    I am going to suceed this time, and ahve joined here for a bit of moral support!

    Thanks for reading!
    Jen
  • Good morning and welcome!

    I agree with you about the exercise. You could make a preseason prep for sports plan

    Have you found the vegetarian threads -or- the whole foods threads?
  • My god its like my twin!!! lol
    Welcome
    i have til the 22nd before i go to uni...well the induction.
    I started a new uni last year and didnt go to any of the events cos i stupidly felt too fat! I wanna change that this year.
    im 21 from the south london.
    I originally put on 4 stone in the last 3n a half years but have shifted just over 14lbs so far
    Got 28lbs left to lose before my bday in late november but im pushing for 7lbs before i start uni.
    Ive been a vegetarian since i was 7 and am now trying to do the vegan thing.
    I recently found i love working out. Joined an offer at the gym. Im gonna try speed walking later, i heard it burns more than jogging.

    Whats your target?
    If you wanna chat or anything for support message me
