Hello and wlecome. I am new as well. I have been on many diets before over the years and I have finally decided that enough is enough. I am in control of my body and I control what goes into it. Starting anything is hard but once you get used to it it becomes easier over time. Take it one day at a time.

Hi there and welcome. I'm sure you'll get to know people pretty quickly. My husband was the same, always telling me I looked great and I wasn't overweight, but I knew I was, I decieded to lose weight for myself because I knew I'd be happier and it really helped. Let us know how you're getting on.

I can totally understand! I am currently 3st over my goal weight at least, but my friends and family still think I'm beautiful and I look ok for my height.

I hope you can find everything you're looking for here! The people are so kind and generous!

Welcome!!!

Hi, Saz. I'm a new member here too and from the same neck of the woods. My DH tells me he likes me the way I am and is not very supportive of my weightloss efforts. I'm telling him its not just about appearance but about health. Its the one thing he can't deny that as I get older the bigger impact my weight has on my health. I've lost over 2st in 3 months and already seeing the benefit on my knees when climbing the stairs.

Stick with it an keep telling yourself that this is something you're doing for yourself - you are allowed to be selfish once in a while.

Kitty

Welcome Saz... as everyone has said before, do it for YOURSELF

My hubs is totally surportive of me, I've never been what you call small... came out of the womb big I reckon, but my health is important and I'm doing this for ME

See you in the natterings

Hi and welcome!

I've just come back after a month of "falling off the dieting wagon" and my story is pretty much the same as yours. I get sick of everyone saying "Oh you look fine" and my partner saying "You're not overweight" when clearly, if they were honest I am!

Everyone seems v.supporting on here though

Welcome Saz.
My OH say's he liked me the way I was. But I told him I wasn't losing weight for him I was doing it for myself. I was fed up of buying bigger and bigger clothes. Thankfully now I can buy smaller and sell my old ones to pay for them.
