Hi everyone!

I’ve been looking around the site and decided to join because there seems to be a lot of valuable information here plus I think being in contact with people in the same boat would really help me.

About 2 years ago I put on quite a lot of weight due to eating too much and injury. I’ve tried to lose it before but I give up and it comes back. This time I mean business! I guess the main thing I am doing differently is exercising more/differently. Before I did exercise but the injury kept coming back and I had to stop which quite often triggered me to give up on the diet as well.

Although I really do think I have the motivation to stick at it this time I am quite nervous. I don’t think I’ll really believe that I will do it until I get under 9 stone –I have gotten close before but never quite broken it.

Anyway, thanks for reading, I’m looking forward to exploring the site more and maybe getting to know some of you :)

Nice to meet ya! Great start with the extra exercise. I know what ya mean dealing with an injury- I broke my ankle 3 years ago and now can only handle low impact exercises. Are you following any kind of food plan?
 
yarmiah - Really sorry to hear about your ankle, yeah I've resigned myself to low impact exercises too. At first I was really upset that I couldn't exercise by doing fun sports in the sunshine but I've actually found that I really enjoy swimming and the gym. I'm not following any specific food plan, just eating really healthily and a low number of calories. If I'm honest I'm probably not eating enough calories but I don't feel like I need that much more since healthy food is filling... I might start to eat more once I've lost a bit and feel better about myself.

paisleypark - Nice to meet you, good luck with all your weight loss and fitness goals.

Steve - It was a stress fracture. And I didn't realise it was anything serious until I'd done quite alot of damage unfortunately. I was young (16), naive and thought my only limitation was my mental capacity to push myself further.
