Hi everyone. This is my first time on the forum and I thought I'd just introduce myself! (I just posted this in completely the wrong section).

I'm Adele. I'm 20 and a student and I've been overweight since ... forever. I reckon I'm about 16 stones right now (which feels really embarrassing to admit). But I'm about to graduate this year and my boyfriend has ditched me, so it feels like a great time to get on top of things and feeling good about my body. When I look at myself I just feel frustrated and angry and I've not bought new clothes for about 8 months, so I know I'm definitely ready.

I'm really committed to make a change and I hope I can make some new friends and find some support from like-minded people when I'm feeling close to temptation! So, yeah. Hi everyone.

Adele, this is the place to be for support! I, too, have struggled with my weight all my life and have recently decided that I've wasted enough of it being so. Onami told me about it, and now I come at least everyday to read if I can't post. To be at a place of no-judgement is so refreshing.

Enjoy this place. Use it to stay motivated and making the right choices. My personal favs..."Mini-goals" and "challenges". It helps so much in getting me to stay accountable.

Welcome, and see you around the board.
