Hey Everyone

i've recently moved to LA from London UK and gained a lot of weight... on a figure that already wasn't properly skinny. So now i'm dealing with a lot of extra pounds that i really want to shed! I put my mind to it and i feel pumped and determined.
I've started training with a PT and i want to keep my exercise rate up. I've also started the south beach diet which has worked well for me in the past.

It's gonna be a long, hard journey but i really want to make it to 130lbs! i'm 28 and i want to enjoy pool parties and daring clothes till i can!

hope to find support here

Just hang in there, with patience and determination, you'll be back to your skinny self in no time, I am rooting for you

Thank you! that's very sweet of you

Welcome! Moving to London sounds very exciting in and of itself!

You're not really that far from goal, I'm sure you can do it!

I lost 40 pounds about 5 years ago and looked ok I guess. I kept it off for about 3 years and then I lost my job of 25 years due to down sizing. I just completed nursing school last week. Between losing my job and sitting in class I have gained about 50 pounds and have just decided it is time to regain my life. I am so glad I have found this site. It is nice to know I am not alone. WE CAN DO THIS

Hi jbf--
Welcome, I'm new here too and a nurse. Wishing you the best of luck with everything. You have a lot to look forward to and running around working as a nurse should help you drop weight fast.
