Hey there
 

Hi, my name is Emma(Mammy) and I'm from Australia.
Found this forum through google, thought it'd be a great place to help keep me motivated and talk to people experiencing the same sorts of things.

I've always been overweight, since I was a little girl.
So last year in January I decided to do something about it and over about 6 months I lost about 17kgs(40 poundsish?), but then unfortunately put it all back on and the some. But at least I know I'm capable :D

My aim is to lose about 50kgs over the next year or so.

Looking forward to meeting you all :D

x!

:welcome: Good going on the weight loss - even though you gained it back, like you said - you did prove to yourself you can do it. :hug: I'm sure you can do it again! Do you have a plan in store yet?

Welcome! You can do it again! You've come to a great place for support and encouragement.
:)

Yeah basically just sensible eating and going to the gym at least 4 times a week. No gimmicks or anything, just good old fashioned hard work.

And thanks for the warm welcome everyone :)

Congratulations on taking charge of your health. You are wise to do it now, it gets harder as you get older.
