Hello all
Well, where do I start!!! I'm a newbie and am ready to lose that weight and boy is there a lot of the weight to lose.
I've tried soooo many times in the past to lose weight and last anything from a few days to a few weeks, manage to get rid of some but then give up and like many put twice as much back on again. Now I feel different, I really need to shift this excess weight, I feel tired all the time, uncomfortable and more and more self conscious, its getting to the stage that I don't want to go out and I don't want to live my life like that anymore :cry:
So, I started Friday and so far so good - although I now fear that I'm not eating enough and have read that that may cause the opposite of what im trying to achieve. I'm eating lots of fruit and veg, normally have soup for lunch and a decent healthy meal for tea - is that ok? I do feel hungry but have been putting that down to my body being used to my previous eating habits and I have been drinking lots of water.
I'm really pleased I've found this forum and hope that it gives me that little bit of motivation and encouragement that I sometimes lack. I have tried ww and sw and those havent worked, I really wanted to try one of the VLCD's however I'm a student and unfortunately the budget wont stretch to these.
So thats me, thats where I am & I'm very much hoping that you will help me on this very scary journey
Love and Best Wishes to All
