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

    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.
