Hi there everybody. My name is James, I'm 20 years old and I'm going to be trying to lose weight.

I've started my own blog to help me keep motivated and so that if anybody needs inspiration, they can find it here...

It's at [sorry, no blog links allowed]

I really hope you enjoy reading my blog and wish me the best of luck :). I could really do with the support and any criticism, feedback and motivation is welcome.

Thankyou so much :)

James

ohhhh. Fair enough :)

In that case, I'm okay to post copy and paste my blog posts directly into this thread then I guess. So, here's my first post.

Hi there!

My name is James, I work in a cafe and I’m from Lincoln in the UK. I’m 20 years old and I’m quite a big lad. I’m not sure how heavy I am but I’m a 42 inch waist and a 44 inch chest.

I know it’s not healthy to be this big. It certainly doesn’t make me happy. It doesn’t make me sad either though. I don’t look at my body and think “What a disgusting mess” and raid the freezer looking for tubs of ice cream. Infact, I’m proud of my body and I always will be no-matter what I look like.

However, the whole point of this is that I’m going to lose weight. ‘But you said you’re proud of your body!’… Well I am, but sometimes, you have to think about your health and unfortunately, if my health doesn’t get better, I will live a short life.

I don’t own much money but I’m not poor either. I’m not a fitness freak and I don’t just sit on my bum. I’m not a healthy or unhealthy eater. I like to drink but I drink all the time. I’m quite a normal person in the way that I’m not a slob that sits around the house all day watching re-runs of Jeremy Kyle and I’m not Mr. Perfect (and I never will be) who has the best job in the world, goes to the gym every day and drinks protein shakes. I’m just me.

I will be starting with my weight loss on Monday 17th January and trying to blog every day. I will need support though. I’ve not told my family or friends because I’d like them to notice for themselves. So as much support as possible would be great.

But before then, I’ll be posting a few posts about how I’m going to start and that kinda thing. My aim is to show people that anybody can do this… However, I hope I don’t let anybody down.

Thanks so much for reading and please keep following my blog.

James
 
Hey James and welcome to the forums. I like your stance about your body. Neither shameful nor narcissistic :) You will definitely find support around these parts as long as you make an effort to visit often.

Best wishes
 
Awhh, much better! Now I can welcome you to the forum properly without thinking you're a blog spammer ;) Anyway, WELCOME! :hugs: I'm 21 and from good ol' England although all the way down in Portsmouth so not near you!

Working in a cafe must be tough. How will you cope?! Also, I see you're not starting til the 17th? Can I ask why? Try not to binge too much over the weekend as the weigh in you do on monday (if you do one) will be affected by the crappy food you've eaten in the past few days (i.e. lots of salt!)
 
Ooh! Me!
Don't start on Monday. Celebrate your last day of not giving a good goddamn on Friday, and start on Saturday. That way, your weekend won't be so weighed down (no pun intended) with a last celebratory weekend.

I started my current diet on a Saturday, and it's working out very well!

Welcome to the forums, James!
