Hello everyone, I'm 28 years old and I'm currently losing weight. My starting weight was 164 lb, and I'm currently 141 lb.

I decided recently to become vegan after watching the documentary 'Forks Over Knives ' (and I've watched other ones on the subject since then). Ever since I've been losing weight, and I'm very pleased by this.

I've tried to lose weight in the past (once, when I was 26) and it sort of scared me away of "dieting" for life really lol. I was mourning my slim figure from the past (I used to weight around 121 lb till the age of 24) and thought that I had no other choice but accept my weight gain and my new chubbier self… But it turned out, when I was not trying to lose weight and made a change of lifestyle for my health (and the animals), I lost weight ! So far I've lost 23lb, but being alone on my weight loss journey feels, well… lonely lol

So I've search forums I could join in to not feel so alone, and I think I like this one so I'm joining in ! :)
 
Well done for what you've achieved so far! I wish you the best of luck with the rest of your weight loss. You can do it!

I'm new here, too, and I hope we can get along. :)
 
Oh thank you very much for the warm welcoming and encouragement :)

I wish you the same in what you want to achieve ! We can do it ^^
 
Hi Mylene & welcome to the forum. It sounds like you are well on your way to becoming slim & healthy. It is much easier when you are in a positive head space as you then want to look after yourself.
It is a very supportive & friendly forum. Many of us have our own diaries over at http://weight-loss.fitness.com/forums/weight-loss-diary.9/
You can start your own or just have a look around & visit others. We all have a lot in common & it's great to feel that you are amongst friends, who are non-judgemental. If you start your own diary it is your space so you use it to suit yourself. (It's best to name it something you will be happy to stick with though.) Cheers, Cate
 
Hello Cate, thank you for welcoming me :)

Yes I'm slowly discovering the forum (it's very big) and I'm going to explore the diary section a little more, and all the other places of this platform. You know about the judgmental thing, that is why I was looking for a forum to join in the first place. Where I live, people are very slim, and I don't feel comfortable talking about weight loss with anyone. So being in community where most of the people are on the same boat feels good, as if you don't feel so alone in your situation (even though the method or lifestyle everyone have to lose weight is different).

Thanks again (oh and I love Australia, you are so lucky ! )
