Hi everyone! I found this forum today and I'm so happy that I did. I feel that this is the right place to help me to finally lose weight.

I'm 19 years old and I used to think that I've been over weight since I was 11. But 2 weeks ago I found some pics of me from about 5 years ago and I was surprised that I was in really good shape. I wouldn't say perfect but definitely not fat either.
I used to believe that I was fat so I didn't care about what I ate anymore thinking that it was too late. But looking back at the pics really made me sad because I wouldn't have let myself go like that if I knew what I really looked like back then.

Right now my height is 167 (I think that's 5.5 feet) and I weigh 75.9 Kg right now.

When I saw the pics 2 weeks ago I decided that enough was enough and that it was time for me to seriously start losing weight.
I used to eat out every single day. Most of the time in fast food restaurants. So, what I have been doing for the past couple of weeks was stop eating outside of the house during the week days. And on the weekends I allow myself to eat out but not in fast food restaurants. I also joined the gym again and started working out 3 days a week.

I lost 1 Kg in the past couple of weeks, and today, I started taking Xenical again. I'm hoping it'll help speed up my weight loss.

I'm really excited about finding this place and I'm hoping I would find the support I need to lose weight.
I have almost no will power and I love to eat, that's a deadly combination and I'm hoping to break my awful eating habits.

That's enough about me :p
 
Hello and welcome. :) I'm the same age as you, and I wanted to lose some weight to feel better about how I look. (And also because I thought if I dont take action I will carry on gradually getting bigger...!)

I'm not the best example as I'm about to indulge over Xmas Day and Boxing Day, although I will be back on the straight and narrow right after :D The forum is a great place for support, advice and motivation, so you're in the right place, definately.

Anyway good luck with your weight loss. :)
 
Thank you guys for the welcome :)
Since I found this place yesterday, I'm more excited than ever and I honestly believe that I can lose weight and reach my goal. I never really believed that I could do it. I felt like I was simply stuck with my body and I should just accept it and save myself a lot of trouble.
But because of my age, I know that it shouldn't be so hard for me to lose weight but it just felt impossible. That is until I came here yesterday. I now have a whole new attitude and I look forward to sharing good news with you guys when I weigh in every week!
