Starting my new healthy lifestyle tomorrow... any words of encouragement.

[thechaplingirl]

I'm new to this site
after 6 years of being overweight I've decided to make a change starting 1/09/2010 (tomorrow).
i'm 22 and i don't want to go through my 20's feeling paranoid and worthless so the time has come to do something about it.
any tips or words of encouragement would be gratefully received.
Thank You!

Good Luck to you both, you can do it. I find preparation is the key and its a real help if you keep a food diary on here so everyone can give you tips and assistance. Really looking forward to you both getting some shiny stickers.

Haha wow you really are in exactly the same boat.
I want to loose about 6 or 7 stone too.
It feels like its going to take decades at the moment but I'm sure if we put 100% into it they pounds will fly off
Our 20's are for getting out there and enjoying our youth...
Good Luck evans048.
