I haven’t had the chance/time/motivation/computer ability to get here to post in a long time… if it’s not been one thing, it’s been another but mostly it’s been a procrastination thing. I can’t actually remember the last time I did more than skim the posts here let along the last time I actually posted something here!

For those of you who don’t remember or know me (that’d be everyone then!) I’m Emma, I’m 24, single (happily so!), no kids and am an advice worker. I’ve been trying and mostly failing to lose weight without following any strict diet. I try to exercise as much as possible but unfortunately my possible isn’t as possible as I’d like it to be if that makes sense – I am a wheelchair user and do get exercise in terms of swimming and weights at home and doing short “walks” in my manual chair but a lot (all, really) of exercise classes are out for me which I find a little annoying as I think they would be a great motivator for me.

Wow, this is not what I was intending to write here… should get back on track I guess!

I was wondering what people’s goals are… in terms of WHY they are losing weight or if they have an event or a date they are aiming to be thinner for. Mine just passed and I’m very proud of being able to say that between June and now I lost 24lb and was able to go on a sailing holiday and go up the mast in my wheelchair because due to my weightloss I was under the limit by more than a little bit!!!

And now it is time to regroup and replan… I hit my short term weight loss target, the event I was losing for is over and I still want to do it but it almost feels like starting over. I guess I’m just posting here because I figured, chances are someone here understands!
