a bit about me- im nearly 22, live in the uk and am 170 pounds and 5ft 5.
I thought i was happy being the curvy girl, but since i left university and got a job in an office a year ago ive put on a bit of weight and realise im no longer the bubbly girl that i used to be- ive got a loving and gorgeous boyfriend but keep pushing him away because im so paranoid he's going to leave me for a funner, thinner model
ive decided enough is enough, i know my friends, family and boyfriend love me very much- i just cant seem to do the same for my self when it comes to my appearance.
ive started a food diary and joined my local gym but feel like im going to need a lot of encouragement!
sorry for having a bit of a rant- its feels pretty good to get it off my chest though...without someone just saying "dont be silly" and not really understanding.
this is the first step and im glad i found this site or maybe i would have never taken it.

Hey there!
Welcome! This place will be your new home...it's addicting!!! I encourage you to stick with your forward path my fellow newbie

! I've been on this forum for almost 2 weeks now and it totally drives me to get up and make a change for myself.
I was about the same weight when I started my quest for health! Now, I'm down a little more and have big plans as I see you do too! Another thing that caught my eye with you is that I fell along a similar path in college...gained weight, had relationships where I simply lost myself and lowant to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Now, I'm striving to not JUST lose weight, but to get healthy PERIOD.
You've taken a great step by having the will to lose weight! See you 22lbs lighter!
