Hi guys, just found this forum and after some soul-searching I have started a thread so I can get my weight issues under control; I am like a pastiche of Bridget Jones and would love to get a grip of things.
I am planning to cut way down on the booze, start eating more healthy and I really want to nail the continual grazing I do at home after work ... it is like I am trying to fill a void with food which just starts a cycle of over-eating-feeling miserable-overeating.
Weighed myself today and I am 196lbs, I am 5' 6" and have to squeeze myself into a 16 with rolls of fat a-go-go spilling over my waistband; it aint pretty!!
I am a member of a gym so will go there more than just to take advantage of the steam room; really fancy trying some of the classes although I feel very nervous about it.
I think this forum is fab, have spent a lot of today surfing around the threads and it is nice to know that I am not alone.
I hit the big 4.0. at the end of this year - yikes, I want to be in a better shape physically and mentally then; have set an interim goal for 168lbs for 1st May - that gives me lee-way for 2lbs a week loss.
Let's do it!
