Hi,
I joined here a few months ago with the intentions of finally starting to lose weight - err, that didn't happen BUT on Monday(15/8/11 - first day of the rest of my life ) I started healthy eating and exercise.
I was a VERY chubby baby - like one of the chubbiest babies most people have seen(probably a lot to do with not walking until I was well over a year and a half old!) but by the time I was 3 I was I guess "average" weight for my age up until I was around 13 and started secondary school.
I am a student and I just hate going out with friends now because I am so self conscious about my size and can't find clothes I feel good in apart from loose baggy hoodies, tracksuit pants etc. :cry:
On Sunday I weighed myself and was 228.2lbs/16.3 stone.
I knew I was over weight but not that much!
My biggest problem is lack of exercise and chocolate (addicted to it )
I've started healthy eating and smaller portions. I've cut out everything like coffee, chocolate, sweets etc.
I am really unfit so starting slowly with the exercise - so far I have been doing 5km a day on an exercise bike and hope to increase that a little each day.
I go back to college in 5 weeks and plan on walking home most days instead of getting the bus.
I have a dog and would love to get some more exercise by walking him but he's always hated walking where I live because of the traffic - he is afraid of the cars.
He's lucky he's a toy breed and gets enough exercise by playing and running around inside!
In 10 weeks I am turning 20 and would love to have lost a good bit of weight by then.
My goal weight is 140lbs/10 stone.
I hope that by the time I am 21 I can feel confident enough to be able to wear nice clothes and have a big party - I refused to go out with friends for my 18th and I so wish I could have
I have some health issues at the moment - nothing to do with being overweight but I am hoping they don't hold me back!
I am so looking forward to participating on this forum and making new friends here
