Hello everyone! I'm finally ready to start my journey of health and weight loss. I've given half-hearted attempts in the past, but this time I'm seeking out support and dedicating myself to achieving my goals!

A bit about me: I'm 21 and from Australia. I currently weigh 120kgs (around 265 pounds). Ultimately, I want to lose half of myself (with an UGW of 60kgs/135 pounds). I'm not interested in fast fads or miracle cures, I want to change my lifestyle, my dietary choices and my exercise habits. I've made so many excuses in the past- I'm happy with my appearance, I have too many pretty clothes, I'm too addicted to food to make a change. But no more. I don't want to live my life morbidly obese, missing out on so much.

I would love a weight loss buddy (we can help keep each other motivated!) and can't wait to become an active member in this online community

Hello and

Congrats on getting going! I agree with you about no fad diets or miracle cures. I am doing it by just eating very healthful foods and exercising... it's a great method and sustainable. I wish you the best.

Congratulations on taking the first very positive step in your journey. I just joined a few days ago. It's been a rocky beginning for me in terms of sticking to my eating plan. But, instead of going off on a binge and just giving up like I usually do, I'm trying to do better each day.

I'm in my 60s and you may want a diet buddy who is closer to your age and in your same time zone (hard to get timely responses with vastly different time zones), but I'll be happy to support you in any way I can.
