Hey guys and girls, been away for a while , had a few problems with life in university with idiot flatmates etc...

Quick intro. My name's Liam, and I a student in Wales.

I am wanting to make some life changes. Weight is one of them. At the moment I weigh about 22-23 stone and it is awful.

I have never felt motivated before, but recently I have had a real boost in my confidence and am learning to deal with other problems such as lack of confidence, anxiety, and depression (not clinical depression per se but I was offered anti-depressants).

Recently I have been learning more about myself as a person. What I never could realise were my good qualities of generosity, kindness, caring, intelligence...I always defined myself by being overweight.

I am really feeling I am ready to make these changes.

A little more about me. I am a student as I mentioned, with a keen interest in politics, but my real love in life is playing music.

I'd really love it if I managed to find some guys and girls in my age group (say 17-23ish) who could share there experiences.

Of course, I'd love you all to be able to help motivate me.

Thanks folks

Liam <3
