Default New Member Saying Hello

Hello everyone

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!

Hugs Sammy

Thank you so much everyone for the welcome.

Hi Beerab ~ I'm doing calorie counting, i have tried weight loss clubs before and not done very well with them. I prefer to calorie count, i guess i like to be in control of it all. I don't want to exclude any foods either, i just like to eat what i fancy and do it by counting up the calories. Just trying to eat healthy, lots of fruit, veg, fish etc etc.

Hi Fairy - Fellow West Midlander, good luck on your journey too.

Hi to everyone who posted a welcome to me aswell
