Hi All,
my name is Rachel, I'm 33yo and from Dublin in Ireland. I just came across this website and it looks fantastic, I love forums so i'm hoping this will help me loose weight, I have always been overweight and have tried several times before to do something about it. I have decided to start again to day, but this time to actually do something seriously about my weight, I am a comfort eater so I need to stop that.

i love my food, so i couldn't cope on milkshake diet so it's healthy eating all the way for me. I look forward to getting to know you all and here's to the start of my new life

Hello! its nice to meet you and i am very jealous that you are from ireland! haha. (i would love to go there some day) good luck on your weight loss journey!

Hey Rachel!

Real, healthy eating is helping most of us lose weight in a sustainable way.

You may want to start by checking out the 30-somethings, but please do look around & post wherever you're comfortable!

Best of success!

Thanks for the welcomes, looking forward to getting to know some people

Hi Rachel. My name is Erin. I'm down in Cork. Welcome to the website. It is a fantastic site. I think calorie counting is the best program, well for me that is. I am able to still have a scone once a week, a wrap from O'briens etc. I make 90% of my meals and use calorieking.com. When eating out I try and judge the calories the best I can. Good luck!!!
