Hiya I'm new

Hi my name is Aurora and I live in norfolk. I weigh 12st and am 5ft 11, my goal is to be 10st-10 1/2st before I start uni in september. Even though I am not clinically obese according to my BMI (23.6) I would like to be slimmer. I am following a basic healthy eating plan and I exercise regularly(I ice skate for 3 hours twice a week and dance for half an hour once a week as well as taking walks and bike rides every day).
I am currently on Day 2 of the diet!!!
I found that on other weight loss forums I tried that I was ostracized a bit for not being obese and people didn't seem to accept that I want to lose weight just as much as anybody else. Ok rant over :sigh:.
My problem areas are my hips and thighs.

Hi and welcome. Have you looked at BMI charts to see what is the lowest weight you should go down to.

Yeah and it says I can go down to 133 at the most but I'm aiming for 10st and then I'll see what happens.

And remember to write down what you have

Good luck..! It seems to me you know what you need to do to lose the weight so that's good. and remember! Muscles weigh more than fat or at least that's what i am telling myself haha
