Hey there - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Mammy · 10-19-2008, 08:26 AM

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

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

Looking forward to meeting you all

x!

Good going on the weight loss - even though you gained it back, like you said - you did prove to yourself you can do it.

I'm sure you can do it again! Do you have a plan in store yet?

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.
