New here and determind to loose weight!

[K1nS03]

Hiya all

My names Lorraine and im from Manchester, UK. Ive decided to join this forum as I am in need of help to loose weight, quite badly actually. Im 21 years old and currently between sizes 18-22 just depending on the shop. Getting to this size has quite shocked me (I recently went shopping for a new pair of jeans, thats when I realised how big I actually was) Im starting to feel very uncomfortable now and im always very self conscience

For now, im planning on tracking exactly what I eat. I know I overeat quite badly and I think thats down to being bored and jus plain greedy. Before I met my fiance just over 3 years ago, I was around a size 12 and I was perfectly happy there, thats my goal. I know its going to take alot of time because I want to do it the right way

Thanks for reading and I hope to get to know some of you

Welcome aboard from a fellow manc Sounds like you have a good plan, starting a diary and tracking your day-by-day eating is a great way to keep accountable to yourself. It's also a great idea to review your normal routine and look for places you can easily introduce extra exercise, whether that's taking the stairs at work or indeed, walking to and from work if that's manageable- sounds a bit clichéd but it all helps. Try to introduce lasting, permanent changes and slowly but surely, the fat will start to drop.

Good luck, I will check out your diary!
