Hi! Am Aimee :)

[Aimee]

Hello

I'm Aimee and 17! Been overweight all my life and now at a point where it is making me extremely self concious (i've had severe social anxiety/phobia for years now) and it's effecting my health. So now i'm at the point where i really want too and really need to do something about it. Any help/advice would be great and i'd love to hear from people who have lost alot of weight. I weigh about 20 stone that's very depressing! Anyway nice to meet you all and thanks for reading. Would be great to make alot of friends on here too!

I hope you will make yourself at home. Take your time and have a good look around the forums and see how others are doing on their chosen diet. You might come across one that would suit you and fit into your lifestyle.

Hi and welcome. Take your time deciding which diet to try. Perhaps you could keep a food diary to see how you can improve your eating pattern.

Welcome aboard. This seems to be a great place to get stuck in. I've really been inspired to keep trying to lose the weight since I stumbled upon this site. Good luck!

Hey Aimee!

I'm 18, and the same as you I've been overweight all of my life. At my heaviest I was around 24 stone! - so quite a big boy! . I can relate to the social anxiety/phobia stuff too! Although after losing quite a lot of weight things have gotten a little better for me! I've found that when you feel better about the way you look, it helps with confidence a little! I'm not exactly an uber-confident social butterfly quite yet though lol! But improvement is improvement!

I wish you the best of luck with your weight loss, I'm sure you'll do great ! There's no shortage of really friendly people on here to offer advice on whatever you want!
