HelooO! - LONG introduction

[Squidge]

Hi all! Some of you may know my from the DLRP / UK / scrapping forum but I am new to this one.

My name is Kirsty and I am 24 from London, England.

Now I bet most of you will think I am not very heavy to start (I am 126 lb) but I have been very slim in my time (I am 5.2 in height and was about 105 lb when I met the boyf 3.5 years ago!).

For me it is all about the exercise I think. I LOVE food and find it too difficult to try and cut out "types" of food like carbs or fats, so I just let myself have whatever I want manily but in sensible portions and not every day.

I need some serious motivatino to exercise - anyone wanting an email buddy I am your girl! I used to run a lot last year (did a few 5 km races) but didnt really enjoy it and it slipped. I have an exercise bike at home and some free weights, I also have a little step machine at the boyfriend's and one of those gym ball things which I have never used!

Anyway enough rambling from me, just wanted to say hi and am hoping to learn lots from everyone!

Kirsty~ Welcome to WISH!!!!
I will not tell you that you don 't need to lose weight, that is a personal choice! I am sure you are beautiful at your current weight, but you know your body better than anyone! I am only 5' tall and started my weight loss journey at 160 (my heaviest was 170). My current goal is 115 and I only have 8 lbs to go! I have been as low as 105, but did not like my body that way nor did I feel comfortable that weight (I am medium framed). Your weight is a personal choice, so no passing judgement here! Just make sure you are taking proper care of your body, at any weight!

I will say that exercise is so important and I hope you find a way to get back into it and enjoy it in the process! I hope you find some new pals here...the WISH is a great place~

Thanks for joining us!

Thanks so much for your warm welcomes!

I was so motivated from joining this group last night that I did 30 mins (5 miles) on the exercise bike!

I am out for dinner tonight so I need to try and not go completely overboard on the food and wine- wish me luck!

Just as a side note - congrats to you all for losing so much and getting fit - Kamgen your weight loss is fabulous! Kepe at it!

Love & hugs

Kirsty xx

Hello and welcome to WISH, Kirsty!

There is a daily thread posted by Bliss4Us (Daisy) where you can report what exercise you were able to do the day before. It's a great thread, very motivating and everyone does such a wide variety of exercise. Check that thread out when you get a chance so you can see what everyone else is doing.

I think if you just start out slow and gradually build your routine up it will be much easier to make exercise a part of your daily life. I know I had to start out slowly and work up to the routine I am doing now. If I had tried to do this all at once in the beginning, my body wouldn't have been able to handle it and it would have just been too overwhelming to THINK about trying to fit all this exercise in. Now it's just a part of my life!

You can do it!!!!! Welcome to WISH and I hope to see you posting often!!!
