Hi Everyone
Just thought I'd pop in and introduce myself.
My name is Scarlett, I'm 29 and I'm from the North of England.
I am here because, like everyone involved in the site, I want to loose a bit (well, quite a bit actually) of weight.
The weight has gradually crept on over the last decade or so. Whilst my normal eating could be considered as balanced I have a habit of pigging out when on holidays and the weight has piled on because of this. I remember one holiday, the first without my parents when I was 18, that I ate and drank soo much that by the end of the fortnight none of my clothes fit. That was the beginning of the weight gain!! I never shifted the weight on my return and each subsequent holiday added more baggage.
Anyway, about a month ago I decided that I'd had enough. I'd spent far too long fretting about the additional weight and not living my life the way I wanted to due to being self concious. Life is far too short to be messing around and since then I have dropped 10 pounds and a dress size.
I have been following this site since starting my diet and have found the thoughts and ideas of members inspirational. I have the upmost respect for everyone involved and now realise that together we can all do this. It is because of this that I have signed in to meet you all!
Between us we have the power to motivate and commiserate, we have the wisdom to guide and accept guidance in turn and we have the knowledge to know that success is within our reach.
Good luck to one and all!
10 pounds down, 40 to go!!!!!!
