Hello everyone.My name is Red and I live in Northern England.I found this website whilst looking for various weightloss websites.I know I'm too big because I can't fit into half my clothes, I get out of breath walking the dogs, I compensate for my fat by being the loud OTT, I compare myself to everyone and as soon as I feel down I reach for the fatty foods to make me feel better for a minute and then even worse!Well hopefully no longer!I am not sure what I weigh yet but I think it's close to 15 stone.I have decided to get up early tomorrow and get weighed at my local health shop.I've started thinking about lifestyle changes already....I've lost a bit of weight before and I can do it again but on an even bigger scale.I got an ipod for Christmas and I'm going to fill it with my favourite music so I walk more places, I bought some new sports gear for walking the dogs instead of wearing my tired old 3/4 length trousers cos I didn't want to buy a bigger size,I have also got some fitness dvds that I'm going to try out and my sister is making me join a dance class.It will be hard but it will be worth it as I really OWE this to myself and instead of putting other people first, I have to consider myself from now on!Soooooo tomorrow it's onto the scales and time to do some exercise as I realise that everything I have said so far is theory and not practise(yet)!
I hope to make some friends and get some support
Hello from Red!
RED ~ this is a wonderful place with lots of support and great people; we have a group (forum) here of Chicks from the UK with several threads (chat lines) in it. We also have a 20's (age) group as well that you might like to look at; and lots of info about many, many different plans too. Take a look around and I'm sure you'll find lots of stuff to interest you.
