Hello all.
Firstly, are there any members on here from the UK or am i in the wrong place? If you read this and you are from the states you will need to translate (like mum = mom
)
I just came to offer/receive support for the weight loss journeys.
My story is that i am 24 years old, Male and im from Scotland. I have been fat since i was about 10 years old (sneaking sweets and cakes when mum wasnt looking).
I started to get depressed and hated myself. After about 13 years of bullying, not being able to participate with games that friends would play, and not having the confidence to speak to girls, i decided enough was enough and started dieting.
At my heaviest when the realisation happened, i was 33 stone (about 462 pounds).
At the moment while typing this I weight about 14.5 stone (about 200 pounds).
So i have lost about 18.7 stone (about 262 pounds).
It was an absolute struggle and was not easy, but my goodness im glad i came to my senses. Life has changed immensely.
Please dont mistake me, i have not come on here just for praise, or to get noticed, it is to get advice on a healthy lifestyle and to help support and advise others. If i can answer one question or help one person with a query then it was worth my while signing up
The only downside of my journey, is that i have been left with some unsightly sagging skin. However, next tuesday after a battle to be accepted, i go into have it removed. I am both nervous and excited in equal measures.
Anyways, thats my story to date. Thanks for having me and hopefully will get to know some of you
Thanks, Kev.
