NEWBIE from UK - says Hello
Hello all !!
Just wanted to introduce myself - its my first post and I`m chuffed to little meat balls ( excuse the pun - its a Yorkshire saying meaning thrilled to bits) that I`ve stumbled across this website.
It could`t have come at a better time for me. (actually I`ve been lurking for a few days).
I`ve had a brief look round - and I can see there`s plenty of reading fodder to get my teeth into !!!. (oooops another pun
)
I`m a short female (at 5`3") and I weigh about 250lb and would like (NO!! - AM GOING!!!!
) to get down to 135lb.
A few days ago it was all I could do to raise a smile - I felt like I had the world on my shoulders and I was alone in this battle of the bulge - having come across this site - I now feel a lot more confident and positive that I can and will do it - just like you guys.
I`m still in the middle of re-reading the book - but feel that I want to strike now while the irons hot and get started.
Like many of you (from what I`ve read so far) I have been on just about every diet known to man - the latest was the LighterLife (like the Cambridge Diet) where you have 3 food packs per day and nothing else. needless to say I lost 3 stone (42lb) in 10 weeks - but put it all back on again in the same amount of time when I came off the packs.
NOT GOOD!!!!
I "dabbled" with the Atkins about 3 years ago - and had reasonable success - but to be fair - I didn`t do it proporly - so only lost about 1 stone (14lbs). Then (like a diet butterfly) I flitted onto the next diet and forgot all about Atkins.
Anyway - think I`ve rattled on enough for one post!!!
Thanks for reading
