Hi, Im Abi and I'm new *waves*

I'm here to get some support, but also to offer it where I can. I'm getting very frustrated with my weight loss (or lack thereof) because I am working so hard at it...I go to the gym 4-5 times a week (and burn between 500-700 cals) and am eating between 1500-1700 cals a day of decent stuff. I was bulimic for about 5 years but have solved that problem - now I want to lose weight fairly slowly and keep it off forever. I've been on a healthy eating 'diet' for 7 weeks (no snacking, just 3 good healthy meals a day) and have been exercising properly for about 3 weeks. My weight loss to date is about 5-6lbs, which feels soooo slow!!!

I hope people are not reading this and laughing at my pathetic excuse for losing weight, I really am trying. Anyway, at the risk of sounding like a whiny teenager, I will stop.

See you in there!!!

Abi

welcome to 3FC, we are glad you are here, you will find a lot of supportive people here

Hi Abi,

I hope you achieve your goals. I know you will sweety. I recommend that you eat snacks between meals, but that they be healthy snacks. Like cheese (protein) or an apple or celery sticks with a little bit of ranch. You don't want to not eat between, because you may overeat at your other meals. Good luck hon!

Thanks everyone, feeling the love already...x

Welcome, Abi!

Good luck with your goals.

Welcome. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.

That's a great idea, thanks...might just do that today

Nobody here is going to laugh, hon. Welcome to the site...and good luck!!!
