Hello :)

[Ready-to-change]

 

Hello I'm new to the web site and to this whole concept, but
as my user name suggest I'm ready to change.

 I'm female, 21 and I'm 5ft 10" (and a
half which totally counts) and I'm ashamed to admit I weigh in at a hefty 18
stone.

I used to be an Army Cadet and
loved it. I got to do all sorts of physical activities and stay reasonably
healthy. Even though I've always been a little overweight I never let it get
this bad. When I left the cadets I was 18 so I had gotten used to eat to keep
up with my metabolic rate, and when I left the cadet I just carried on eating
that way. I’d probably go as far as to say that I’m addicted to food… I just
feel like I need to eat almost everything all the time, but now things have kind
of... peeked.

I need to lose weight. I badly
want to be a police officer and that's not going to happen if I can't be
physically active. I love to run but my shear bulk makes that too difficult. So
tomorrow.../ today I'm going to start the Paleo Diet and the beginners H.I.I.T
system. I’m currently living with a friend that showed me this diet and exercise
routine and I have to say it sounds all most too good to be true. So I’m going
for it. I think that whilst I’m living here things are going to be a little
easier as my friends already on the diet. Which makes for a great starting
point but my will power is going to struggle when I move back in with my fast-food
loving family. If it’s not ready in under 10 minute there not going to be interested.

Any tips/ recipe ideas will be
great fully taken and I’ll upload regular blogs

Thanks for reading x.

Welcome.  I know exactly how you feel when it comes to eating for the level of activity you once did, that's where my current situation started.  In highschool I ate everything I could but I burned it all with my level of activity, then went to Army training and did the same but once I finished that and my activity level fell without my eating habits changing I found myself with 70 extra pounds on my frame.

Sounds like you have the right attitude and already have a plan in place to get started.  Just keep plugging away and don't let momentary upsets throw you off and you'll get there before you know it.

Good luck and again, welcome
