[Marjolein]

Hello!

Well, what can I say?
My name is Marjolein, I'm 30 years old, I'm from the Netherlands and I'm overweight. Trying to lose weight, not very good at it, yet.
I'm not following any diet, I've opted for the total way of life overhaul. It's not happening so far, due to any number of reasons, but I'm not giving up!
I am going to continue next year. A little more support would be welcome, though, that's why I have joined this forum.

See you around here!

See you around, I hope!!

Hi Marjolein!
Sounds like you're off to a good start with the right attitude and determination - just take it a step at a time, moving forward to a healthier and happier you - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a few months myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Happy Holidays!
