BeardedWonder91 Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Hey, my name's Luke!I'm 22, i live in England and i'm pretty much dead-on 18 stone.I've always wanted to lose weight, both for confidence and for health benefits, however i've never had the drive to do so...Recently my job was in the balance with company issues, so i vowed that if i kept my job, i'd lose my belly, and sure enough i'm still employed and looking to work it out!I found NF today and was immediately impressed with the range of available info, as well as the easily digestible tips!After seeing one post littered with Super Mario images, i knew this was where i should set up camp for all my support and advice from here-on-in!I hope top get to know some of you, and hopefully we can all progress together!Cheers!Luke Quote Link to comment

You've got great timing - you've got just enough time to find your way around a bit, and then we'll be starting the next challenge.

Pherales Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Personal opinion - absolutely. Being able to set your own realistic goals for a six week period gives you small, achievable steps towards your overall target. I turned up a couple of days ago, so I haven't started a challenge yet because this one is almost over. But the minute the next one starts, you can bet I'll be there.

Laureleye Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 The challenge is a great way to get (and give) support. Look around the challanges of the guild you are joining and you can get an idea what people are achieving and the kind of support they get.

candi Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Welcome Luke. This is an awesome place. The challenges are great. The next one starts on the 25th (?) of Feb, so gives you time to get yourself prepared and set some goals before getting into it (that is my aim at the moment too). Good luck and look forward to seeing you round the place Quote My blog Link to comment
