Quick hello!

[beamy]

Hey all!

I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm a 22 year old student who is fed up with my weight! I'm going on vacation in May and want to be able to enjoy my time on the beach...and not cover up by a T-Shirt like I've been doing for the past 10 years. Um, I live in Ontario, I'm about to graduate from University in about a month (so scary!).

That's about it I guess...

Nice to meet you all!

Hi! Glad you found us! Why don't you tell us more about yourself....How much weight do you want to loose? What kind of diet are you considering? Do you need any help in any certain areas??

I'd suggest to start a diary. They are very helpful as it helps keep you accountable to what you eat throughout your day.

Good luck and let us know if you have any questions!

welcome

A vacation on the beach in a bikini---that's the best motivator.
Maybe you can hang the bikini, that you're going to wear, (without the t-shirt) somewhere smack in the middle of your living space so that you are reminded daily that a great event will take place in May---,You in a bikini, on the beach, looking great and feeling even better than you look.

A bikini sounds like good motivation, and it's great that you're adopting healthy habits now. What type of plan are you considering?

Oh my gosh, you're all so nice!

Um, I'm looking to lose about 30 pounds, that's do-able, right? I lost a bunch of weight a few years ago by just eating better food and stopped drinking soft drinks and such. I barely did any excersise at all actually, but I ended up losing about 30 pounds then...unfortunately I've gained a lot of it back by getting into bad habits at school.

There is NO CHANCE that I'd ever wear a bikini!! I'm going to Florida to do the theme park thing but we're going to get a car for a couple days and drive to teh beach. I'm really looking forward to it! I wouldn't wear a bikini, not only becasue I'm self concious about my weight in general, but I'm extremely self- concious about my chest. I'm hoping weight loss will fix that situation.

But anyhow, thanks for the welcome!! I'll make sure to come back lots!!
