Ready for a change and needing some support

  • Hey everyone,

    Like my title says, I want to be a new me..and quit saying every year that I am going to do it and just fall flat.
    I'm 20 years old and have been slowly gaining weight every year to my current high of about 170lbs.

    Yesterday, I went pants/shorts shopping and hit a huge low when the size that is usually a tiny bit big on me no longer fit. I was very upset and needless to say it has now given me the boost to take control of my life.

    I struggle with consistently eating healthy...I love to snack!! I also play sports 2 days a week...my fitness level is the lowest it has ever been.

    Anyway just wanted to say hi! and hoping to find some support and wanting to give some too!
  • to another fellow CANADIAN ~ hope you are enjoying your long weekend. Sorry about the clothes issue, but you don't have that far to go to break one size. My best tip for snacking is go with fruit or other low-cal stuff; and keep busy, busy, busy ...

    PS ~ btw, there is a Canadian Thread in the Support Groups Forum: drop by and visit us over there sometime. We like to talk about the weather a lot but we are very friendly ...
  • Thanks for your reply! I appreciate the snacking tip.
