A Work In Progress
Hi everyone!
First of all, Happy New Year to everyone!!

I almost feel ashamed coming on here; to give you all a quick introduction, I'm 25 and I'm from Ireland.
I've always had a weight problem even as a child.
A few years ago I really decided to do something about it and started the Atkins diet which worked great for me, I lost about 6 stone in less than a year.
I then started Lipotrim about 2 years ago to shift the last 2/3 stone, which also worked great.
I got down to a size 10, life was great. For the first time in my life I felt as though I could do anything, I got male attention I never got before, I was on top of the world everything was great.
Somewhere along the way I fell off the wagon, and now I'm back where I started I've regained all the weight I ever lost and then some.
I don't know how I've gotten back here, but well I have. C'est la vie.
I don't actually know my starting weight as I'm afraid to weigh myself because I know once I see the real figure it will just dishearten me and I'll feel that I'm a lost cause and I won't be able to do it all second time round.
The real kick in the butt for me came on 31st December - I was abroad over Christmas and I was flying home on New Years Eve. On the flight I was lucky enough to get an emergency aisle window seat, so there I was getting comfy, settling myself in before take-off when one of the Flight Attendants approached me and asked me if I needed a Seat Belt Extender.
Me? Need a Seat Belt Extender? Oh God No!! Those are for other people, not me! I know I'm big but surely to God not that big that a complete stranger would approach me offer me a Seat Belt Extender.
I assured them that I didn't need one and proceeded to belt up... cue *shock horror* I couldn't. I fiddled and I tugged and I huffed and I puffed and I couldn't get the damn seat belt to close.
I was then informed that if I couldn't get the seat belt clasp to close and needed an extender then I could not seat in the emergency window seat aisle and would have to move to the rear of the cabin away from my family.
I was shocked, horrified and gutted that I had let myself get this big. I had been in denial for a very long time thinking that I was "pleasantly plump" and not the morbidly obese which I clearly now was.
In the end I did manage to get the seat belt clasp closed and didn't require the extender but all the way home on the flight I vowed to myself that I now needed to really get in the right frame of mind and do something.
I was going to go back to doing Lipotrim however I'm a student atm and Lipotrim is nearly E70 for me in Ireland which tbh I can't really afford right now, so I now have here with me are the Exante packs which work out at a bargaintastic E20 per week compared to E70 with Lipotrim.
I've just had my first Strawberry Exante Shake and so good so far.
I really think that 2010 is going to be the year that I stick to TFR and turn my life around.
I look forward to getting to know all the newcomers and regulars around here and I know that with a bit of support from each other we'll be well onto our way for reaching our goals in 2010.
Thanks for reading guys!
I'm sure you'll be seeing a lot more of me around here and I'll have lots of newb questions so please be patient with me!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
