Default Hi everyone!

Hi all
I am new on the forum, I decided at new year it was time to tackle my ever rising weight, I will be hitting 40 soon and want to be fitter and healthier this year, so I have been eating less and moving more, I stumbled upon this forum and found the stories inspiring so after a week found the courage to join, just wanted to check in with the uk chicks

I'll say hi!
I think this is a quiet forum. Least 100 people read my post without saying hi I'm new too.
Hoping it all works out well for you! Eating less and moving more sounds a very sensible plan to me!
Let's hope 2012 brings us all we hope for x

Hello,

Well I am not from the UK, I thought I would say congrats on deciding to live a healthier life style. Make sure that your problem is eating to much, and not to little as it seems like that is a problem for a lot of people!!

Good luck with everything!

Hello and thanks for the replies!
I am afraid to say I was eating far too much and all the wrong things, cakes, chocolate crisps, fried foods :-( I also took no exercise.
My cupboards are now full of fresh fruit, vegtables, salads,lean meats.
I am breaking myself into the exercise with some daily brisk walks along the seafront.
Hoping to use the forums as a place of support and would like to be a support to others if I can :-)

Cakes and choc are also tough for me. I have two boys under 4 so tend to bake with them a lot. And they love mums home made cookies. Will have to be so self controlled as I still want to make treats for them!
I'm not in the UK but am English.

Hey to both the author of this post and to mumsy.. I think this is a quiet forum too, and doesn't tend to update much, so I do spend time on my blog instead. I am finding it fun to keep track of my dieting challenge with some humour injected.. lol. Keeps me going. Hope both of you find this place comforting and a help in your weight loss goals... and just chat away.. that's what I do..
