Hello :)
 

Just stumbled across this site - wow how inspiring!

I'm in the UK and my lightbulb moment kicked in at 214lb. I'm 40 and after a lifetime of yo-yo dieting I decided that this time it wouldn't be a diet but a lifestyle change and I've been plodding along since January changing a multitude of lousy habits. I'm now at 162 lb and feel fantastic compared to 10 months ago! I have loads of energy, exercise is now a pleasure rather than just pain (can't believe all those joint aches have gone!) and clothes shopping is suddenly fun again. I've got some way to go, but am so determined and motivated, I know I'll make it. :)

Hey there, Elliemar, and :wel3fc:

We have a ton of forums to check out...you might look at our UK Chicks forum, or the 40-somethings for those in that age range. We also have a lot of forums by eating plan, so look around!

Most of all, keep posting...can't wait to get to know you better!

Thank you. I did some reading last night and there are some amazingly inspiring people on here! I wish I'd found the site earlier, but better late than never. :)
