Hi everyone!

My name is Emma, I'm 22 and I live in Wales, in the UK. I have just started to lose weight after not being able to lose a pound for a very long time - I've just got to 7lb lost so I am pretty determined to carry on now!

I am using MyFitnessPal to follow a calorie controlled diet, and working on exercise, starting with Wii Fit and Kinect - and I'm hoping soon I will feel confident enough to join my local gym!

I love the look of this forum, so glad I found it, I am looking forward to chatting to you all!

Happy welcome! This place is awesome, and I'm sure with perseverance and some time, you'll get to your goal! Just remember to never give up! I'm with you on the gym thing, it's pretty scary, huh?

Hey and welcome

Exactly the same as me with the gym trying to build up the confidence i wish i could just run in , but its just not that simple its not my weight putting me off its my paranoia and gyms seem to have this stigma attached to them where you think only fit people go to the gym and judgement is rained down on those trying to shed a few pounds.

Im right there with you >.<

Don't be afraid of the gym. Find a small one to go to. Not one of those huge ones. Most of the people are every day average joe's just trying to better themselves.

I was afraid to go myself, and now I absolutely love it.
