I'm a 24 y.o. chica from NYC and I'm trying to lose over 80 lbs. I've been overweight my entire life and I am honestly tired of the excess weight and negative emotions I experience due to my weight, lack of exercise, and poor diet. I am ready to make and see some changes and gain control of my life.
Hi Fiona!
Sounds like you're ready to get started on 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 and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help get through the ups and downs. There's a great 20 somethings forum that might interest you as well.
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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.
So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
Welcome. Moxie574 is so right. The information, support and encouragement even on the smallest of accomplishments keeps you motivated. I think find this was the best supplement to weight loss.
