Hello all
I'm Lyman, posting from the rainiest corner of Bristol in the UK.
I've been on a bit of weight loss journey since January last year and have, in the last few months, come to a bit of a standstill. My main motivation for losing the weight was a risk of diabetes and liver damage (I also had high cholesterol), and last month I got the all clear when I had some follow-up tests done. Even though I've lost a bunch of weight, I still would like to lose more for the aesthetic of it. Bizarrely, I've become a lot more self-conscious now that I'm less heavy, I guess largely down to how differently people act around me.
I'm not usually that good with internet boards but I did used to post at a weight loss forum that was very helpful, unfortunately it got overrun with spambots and I think it's shut down for good now. My main problem at the moment is I'll stick to healthy eating habits for several days at a time, then lapse into old habits for a day or sometimes two. As a consequence I haven't lost any weight since the new year. As an animation student I spend a lot of time on my ass so it's a real effort to crowbar any kind of active lifestyle in my daily routine, although I try to walk at least a mile a day.
So yeah, I'm really hoping to put my foot down and get back on the wagon.
peace
