Hey, I'm new here (surprise)

Never really know what to type in these things.. so I guess I'll just say the general stuff..

I'm 15 and my name's Rebecca but I HATE that name, no one calls me it. So please call me Beccy, Bec, Becstah, (alomost) anything but Rebecca.

I'm from Perth, in Australia and plan to lose 5kg ~ (which is.. 11lb?) it's going to be tough because I'm a self-confessed computer nerd and would rather sit at the PC and eat chocolate whilst sitting down to a nice game of Unreal Tournament instead of eating healthy and exercising.. It probably doesn't help that none of my family eats healthy so dinner is always going to be a tough meal to eat healthily..

I want to lose weight because I want to become healthy & active to meet new people.. I know 5kg doesn't really sound like a life changing amount to lose but it would make a big difference to me!

hi beccy! welcome to cc.. you should be determined and be patient for you to achieve your goal!.. :)

hey becca -- welcome to CC+.  If you check out the Unofficial Guide to Calorie Count Plus you will find the answers to many of your questions.  I'm sure that between the guide and the membership, we can certainly start you on your way.

I lived in Perth for a while as a teenager -- I went to Presbyterian Ladies College for a couple of years, W.A.I.T, and then I, more or less, dropped out...  I truly loved Perth and Australia.  But that was a long time ago.

If you have any specific questions, please don't hesitate to ask
