Default The motivation to start again.

Hi everyone,

I'm Sairz, I'm from Australia and I right this minute have decided it is time to do something about my weight.

I returned from being overseas 2 months ago, in which I was away for 8 months and didn't have a car so had to walk everywhere. In that time, I lost 8 kilos because of this simple difference.

I just weighed myself this morning, though I knew already I'd been living a very inactive lifestyle these last 2 months, it is becoming painfully clear, as the scale just keeps going up each time I step on it.

NOT. ANY. MORE.

Hopefully this drive for weight loss success won't wither and die anytime soon, and that is where you girls come in, hopefully we can all support each other through it.

I love food a bit too much, especially ice cream, so I'm going to start with concentrating on increasing my exercise first up, and making portions smaller. And switching back to drinking water mostly. I've become a bit caught in the soda trap.

Would love to hear from any of you with an interesting story to tell, and who think I might make a good buddy!

Talk to you soon,

Sairz

Hey! Welcome to 3fc! I need to start again too as well. I haven't been on my best game in trying to lose weight. I just been starting and stopping. Geez...I'm in love with ice-cream as well and it is going to be pretty hard avoiding it this summer. I can be like your supporting partner and you can be mines Do you have a messaging system? Like say...msn or aim? FB?

Hi Sairz, I'm new as well. Though, I will be going overseas in a few months, and I'm hoping that I have the "I have to walk everywhere" effect that you did!

Hi Cheerios - omg, ice cream...I KNOW. The season doesn't matter for me, I can eat it any time of year. Here in Australia we're heading into winter which would deter most people, me however...
I have decided that I'm going to forego the really good stuff and start getting the low fat ice cream, hopefully it'll still satisfy the cravings.

I don't think I can pm people yet, are you able to? If so PM me and I'll send you my Facebook details. I have MSN but never use it. Like, ever.

It would be GREAT to have a support partner! It's exactly what I'm here for!

I used my exercise bike today, and will be going for a walk later. Yay me!

Food wise, I haven't actually erm, fixed my diet today. But one thing at a time.
How about YOU? How's your day been?
