Hey!

I'm 27 yo,  5 11, 85kg looking also to lose 12kg. I read your profile - I also eat a small lunch then get home really hungry and it's hard to prepare food without eating everything in sight...

I've been working too hard this past month and have been a bit off, especially this last week. Looking for some company (and someone to be accountable to). I'm looking to lose weight and change my eating habits for a long life of healthy eating! It's slow going...

PM me if you fancy a buddy.

Hi ladies,

My stats are similar to yours - I'm 27, only 5'6" and currently around 184.

I am trying hard to lose but struggle, I'll not eat and then just stuff myself. Not ideal!

Am looking for some regular support buddies too! Have just started back at the gym and realy want to get this weight off soon. Don't want be leaving my twenties still weighing this much.... Hopefully we can help with motivation and tips!

Either of you fancy trying the couch to 5k? At gym or around on the streets/park? For a new gym-style challenge. I tend to find that if I'm good in the gym, I'm good with what i eat. (Also vice versa... when I'm lazy I eat bad. Terrible!).

Is floop trying to sell us something? Lol

Sorry if you weren't but I had an email i think was a seller.. its like a red rag to a bull :P

Hi both,

I am up for a challenge - 5k sounds like a lot but I'll give it a go.

Won't e going near the scales though til the end of next week - need to give myself a chance to loose. Am aiming for the gym or a swim tomorrow - but doing bonfire night with wine and chilli tonight - am going to try not to indulge too much.

Have a good friday!

Hi,

I wasn't trying to sell... i just need a challenge to get me in the gym (otherwise i go for a few weeks/days then drop it again and find it really hard to get back to it) but i'm finding it hard (impossible) to challenge myself.

I need to imagine there's someone who i have to be accountable to -- the idea of admitting to someone that I was too lazy to get the gym is somehow strong enough to get me out of bed and all the way to the gym... For some reason the idea of being fat and unfit for the rest of my life is not good enough. Wierd, i know.

Probably something to do with the time-scales.

Well, let me know if you're interested. I've been really awful recently. Not counting, not going to the gym. Need a bit of a kick.
