I'm finally ready!
 

Hello!

After years of moaning about my weight and doing nothing about it, I finally feel that I am really ready to address this issue head on in a mature fashion! I know that this has to be a prolonged and sustained effort and that it won't be easy. Frankly I'm pretty scared.

Three events in 2010 made me pile on the pounds - a pregnancy which I miscarried, a relationship which broke down as a result, and a decision to start smoking again and then - 4 months later - quit again! Ahh the foolishness.

I've never really dieted before and it is hard to believe I have control over what goes on in my body. I am excited to see some progress, but somehow feel I never will.

I am 5'5, 176 pounds and would like to lose 30lbs. I have promised myself a tattoo if i get there! Will I ever get there? Reassurance required.

Help!

Ready x :carrot:

of course you'll get there! Welcome aboard the wagon! :D

You can definitely get there! Happy New Year to you and welcome to the group! :cheer:

Thank you! It has just been such a rough year, and I really want to make positive changes - but it ain't always easy! Just cannot WAIT to see a change. Just a little less wibble in my step or a little more space in my trousers!

Welcome!

Have you been reading at 3FC? Do you have an eating plan picked out?
Please ... whatever you need ... just ask. We are here for you!

Welcome.. A new tat sounds like a great incentive. If I wasn't too chicken I would get one too.. LOL, The people on this site are great, even though I was more of a lurker they give excellent advice, tips, and encouragement..

I just started my weight loss journey as well, about a week ago. I have found that having someone to talk to about my accomplishments keeps me focused. Also, browsing the forum here keeps me entertained and looking at goal photos keeps me motivated. Keep your head up, you CAN do it!!!:carrot:
