Hey everyone! I'm Sally-newly registered and looking for inspiration :) I've been struggling with with my weight for a long time and (not to make excuses) my major problem is that I'm surrounded by people who are constantly putting me down;
"Its too late for you-you're going to be fat your whole life"
"You're so ugly,look at you"
"why are you eating that? Is it on your diet? You shouldnt be eating that you'll never lose weight"

I've been taking zumba classes for three months and I've lost 18 pounds-which might not be a lot but its better than where I was

ok so as you can all see I like to talk :p

anyways: I think I might be able to find people here who understand and we can all support each other

All the best to everyone; I look forward to getting to know you guys:waving:
 
hi sally! I too have been struggling with my weight ever since I can remember. When middle school started, that's when I really started having body/food issues. I am now 24 years old and an aspiring teacher. I am finally ready to conquer my food issues and take control! I wish you the best of luck! If you need anyone to talk to, let me know! I am here for support and I am here to support!

my issues started when I was younger too (my school shut down and I spent about 6 months at home until we managed to transfer...home=boredom....and the rest is history)
I'm 25 (ok turning 26 in a month but who's counting?:p) and I'm a teacher too :D actually a teaching assistant until I get my masters degree (thats underway)

thanks a lot for your reply and I hope we can help each other achieve our goals :)

hows your progress coming along?

hey there :)
aww thank you so much for your kind words I'm sure you are too xxx
well you've already made one ;)
I honestly think support is the key factor to weight loss...I'm lucky to have an incredible zumba instructor and she really helps me a lot...hoping I can do the same for you;)

keep up the good work!!
 
18 pounds is a great start. congratulations. First thing I would do is get the heck away from those negative people. All they're going to do is bring you down. You don't need people like that around when you're going through something as stressful as a weight loss regimen.

I like that you're going about it the healthy way by working out. How many more pounds are you looking to lose?

Hey natasha! I was looking for this post to reply last time I was here and I could have sworn it disappeared :S Now its back :D (I think I missed it...bad eyesight and what not :p )

first off: thank you!!!!!!!! and yes I did exactly what you said and stopped surrounding myself with negative people...I'm also being kinder to myself and trying to look at it in terms of how far I've come as opposed to how much I have left

Also, since I posted that, I've lost another 12 pounds bringing my total up to 30 :D

like I said still have a few miles to go (ok 32 pounds) but I'm getting closer...yay!!

btw this pounds system really used to confuse me (I'm a kg person) but I'm getting the hang of it!

how are you doing?
