First post since registering on the site in Feb 2008!
Decided to finally become vocal rather than surfing and reading ! Simply love this site. The success stories are so inspirational.
Have been dieting on and off for years, since teens, and I guess I could be described as a yo-yo dieter. Weight has gone up, and down a bit.. but never down to my target! But if at first you don't succeed.. and all that jazz
Have tried so many (million) different diets, eating plans etc.. from Weight watchers, to Atkins, to South beach, to Slim fast, to Lipotrim! ALL worked for me but sadly never for long and I think that the reason could be largely due to not having someone who is taking the same journey, to talk with. There's nothing worse than going out for a meal or drinks with non dieting friends, and nobody understanding why you wont have the pizza, or the dessert. Why would they? They've never had to diet..
Hoping I can find some buddies on here to chat with daily about how we're getting on, and to compare notes.
This Summer I was so proud of myself. For two months I cut out all white carbs, dairy, and only drank alcohol once a week. I never weighed myself (unlike all other diets I've done) because I didn't want to get discouraged but I really noticed a difference, in my face and clothes. In early September we had people to visit for a couple of weeks (I'm living in Malta) so the healthy eating went out the window and sadly...stayed that way. However! I've finally given myself a good hard kick up the proverbial and I'm ready to jump right back on the healthy lifestyle.
I'm 28 and female, my diet is mostly vegetarian (sometimes I'll eat fish) and I try not to have too much dairy. I follow the Mediterranean diet. Exercise at the moment is walking to and from work daily (10 min walk) but I know I need more. I hate exercise. Ugh!
So.. wish me luck! And good luck to you!
