Default Introducing myself

Hi everyone. I'm Elwing, 22 years old. I have joined this site to read about what other dieters experience, I hope it will motivate me to keep losing. I started at 76 kgs, I am 71 now and hope to be 65. It may not sound hard compared to what other people have to go through. But I gained 25 kgs (i.e. 1/2 of my weight then, 50 kgs) since I started studying and I'm sick of it. At the end of august I decided to do something about it and here I am. I am a real forum person, I came here because I need to keep losing weight interesting for myself by changing my tactics every once in a while. Otherwise I'll lose interest and stop. There is definitely enough to read here and keep me motivated.

I'll just stop rambling now, if any Dutch dieters would like some more contact just drop me a PM. (Also if you're not Dutch ).

This forum is awesome! And if you wanna do something fun, check out the sub form under weight loss support entitled "Chicks up for a Challenge". You set a goal and try to reach it by a certain holiday/event. There's a new Thanksgiving one set to start soon so look out for that!

I'm in the challenge "Seeing Myself Naked Is Scary" and it's so much fun to do! If you get in one early enough, you can be on teams! Some people are on team skeleton, dracula, etc. I joined too late but I'm so getting in on the next one!

Good luck on your lossage!

Thanks for the nice welcoming words everyone! I am really moved.

Stephi: Thanks, I'll definitely check it out. There are just so many sub-sub-sub forums here that I become a bit lost in the structure every now and then...

whoIwannabe: it's a nice surprise to see someone in an almost identical situation. I'm sure we can both do it, and good luck to you too .

to 3fc and hello. Firstly a big on the weight loss so far that is a great start.

Just look around the forums and I am sure you will find the right group to support a young lady like yourself. Once you find the right group for your needs I am sure that you will get all the support and encouragement needed along the way.

with the rest of your weight loss journey and reaching your goals along the way.
