New here! Determined to lose weight!
 

I've been lurking for a while and I think these forums are great so i've finally joined. I started losing weight about a month ago and lost about 16lbs but i've put some on again now as I started eatting badly again (too much chocolate!!!) so anyway after that little blip I want to continue losing and thought joining may help. I am also terrible with exercise so I would like to increase my fitness abit too but I find this part seriously hard. I've always been abit over weight really since it was 11/12 and it's just increased really gradually, so I really want to crack this now before I start university after the summer.

I'm at 184 right now and want to get to about 125 so I have about 60lbs to lose! It's quite hard as my mum does the shopping and normally gets 'bad' things in etc and i'm addicted to chocolate and I don't like many vegetables so I suppose they are things I need to work on. I'm going to do it by calorie counting, about 1200-1400 calories a day seems to be okay if I pick good choices.

So yeah, I just wanted to say hi and good luck to everyone on their weight loss journeys!

Vegetables are great. Seriously. Cook yourself a nice stir-fry.

You're best to go cold turkey on sugar. Just eat clean, natural foods like veg, fruit, milk, oatmeal, etc.

Welcome! Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Hey Rainbow! I'm kind of similar -- I was always a little chubby, but I gained a whole lot after October 2007, so I'm working on getting all that off in time for school next September :) I'm a sweets person, too, so I eat either frozen yogurt or WW ice cream cups. Welcome aboard!
