My names Sammy, i'm 36 years old and live in the West Midlands, UK.
I'm starting a new healthy eating plan tomorrow (Tuesday 1st March) and i'm pretty nervous to say the least. I have tried to diet many many times before and have been unsuccessful. I'm hoping that this time around i'm going to lose a considerable amount of weight. I do have a lot of weight to lose, i'm currently around 350 pounds. I will be weighing myself tomorrow morning though. I have always had a weight problem, i started gaining weight at 6 years of age. I did lose a few stones when i was 15 but at 17 i started gaining it back and have been gaining weight ever since. I am excited about my new journey aswell as being nervous. I feel this is my time! for some reason i have a weird feeling that i will do it. I can honestly say i have never had this feeling before not even when i lost a few stone back when i was 15.
I want to wish everyone luck on their journey's, see you all around the forum and thank you for having me!
I'm glad that you are so motivated. Try to stay that way, it will ensure that you succeed.
And remember to take baby steps.
Focus on losing only a few pounds at a time. Staring at a bigger number may be daunting.
And try to do what you need to do every day. Focus on eating right and exercising for that day only. Forget about the other days and don't give up if you've had a bad day.
hey sammy. Good luck with your weight loss. I know that you will find lots of support and advice from this forum to help you get the motivation you need
My big goal is to get to 250 pounds, but i'm setting myself little goals. I want to go 5 pounds at a time, and hopefully that way it will spur me on more. But definately have to take baby steps
Good luck to you all on your journeys, we will do it!!!
