Hello, i joined this forum over a year ago wanting to lose weight but i wasnt in the right frame of mind and have failed time and time again
But this time im so ready to shed the pounds.
Im female, 5 ft 8 and i weigh 164lbs, my goal weight is 133lbs.
Over the past 4 years ive maintained my current weight but dream of the day when i can walk into a clothes shop and try something on that i actually feel i can look good in.
So whats changed, well for the past year im now actually working, training as a teaching assistant, this is a huge sucsess for me as i havent worked in 7 years due to looking after my autistic son, i never thought i would be able to work again, but hes improved so much that i decided that i needed to do something for me, this has improved my confidence loads.
Ive just joined a gym, last time i went to a gym was 4 years ago and i forgot how much i loved going, last night was my first session and i cant wait to go again tomorrow
i plan on going 3x a week and ive already started to eat healthier.
I think my main problem with food is that i wasnt eating enough, i would usually skip breakfeast and only have toast for lunch then dinner which wouldnt be a healthy choice, lots of takeaways, well im actually eating breakfeast now and eating alot healthier, no more takeways and lots of fruit and healthy snacks.
Thanks for listening, will keep you updated with my progress.xxx
