Hello everyone,
I'm 22 years old and have always been overweight I hated 'being fat' when i was younger and swore i'd never get any bigger. 7 years and stones later I know I need to change. I just need a bit more support. I'm currently 280lbs and looking to lose about 140lbs.
Over the years i've tried all sorts; Weightwatchers, Slimming World, Atkins, Slimfast, Alli and a quite a few DIY diet plans.
I'm really interested in VLCD because i find complete avoidence of food easier than self control but I don't think I would be accepted onto any of the programs like Lighterlife/lipotrim etc because I have a history of bulimia (I understand why this rule is there but It doesn't really help me!)
Anyway i'm not really sure which diet I want to pursue at the moment. The last one I did was slimming world and I like the idea of it because its definately the hungry persons diet. However I cant help but want to 'lose weight yesterday' so want something that will yield 'faster' results if i put the effort in.
Anyway while i decide i'm just going to eat sensibly for the next few days. I've also made the positive step of joining a gym. I still feel self conscious but i've really enjoyed it in the past so I know i wont be wasting my money. Just need to get into a routine with it!
I look forward to getting to know you all
