Hi people!

My name is Litchi, 23 years old, 250 lbs and ready to lose 100 lbs! I used to be thin but certain changes in my lifestyle made me gain A LOT of weight (for example: living in France for 6 months (France = croissants, cheese, croissants, cheese, wine, croissants, cheese), going out too often with my friends and drinking too much beer, not eating enough fruits and vegetables) etc.

I want to come down to 150! I've been eating around 1200-1500 calories a day since last week, with a lot more fruits and veggies (almost 3/4 of my food for a day) and no more sodas and artifical juices. I don't own a car since I live in the center of the city, so I use my bike and my feet as much as I can. I also swim once in a while and do home workout since yesterday.

I don't own a scale yet, I'll buy one soon!

I am sorry if I make mistakes in english, my first language is french. I don't speak english very often.


I'll be glad to know all of you!

Welcome Litchi!

Your title was very funny even though you say English is your 2nd language!

Good luck. You'll fine lots of tips, and friends, here!

Thank you! English is not my first language, but I went to the only english school in my city during high school. That's why I understand it well even if I'm a bit rusty (I graduated in 2005). My title is a famous song by The Ramones!

Hi Litchi!

I know the song, and it's very appropriate for this site! Welcome and I know you will do fine, giving up carbs (most carbs) is very difficult. That's my issue as well. I loooooove carbs (cereal, pasta, bread, rice) blah!

Good luck and keep us posted!
Michelle

Good luck with your efforts!!

Love the Ramones! Definitely a great song to rev up your weight loss...

Bonne Chance!
