Default A Little Scared, Shy I don't know

Hi all have been pretty much glued to my laptop and this forum for the last 2 weeks after making decision to finally join having blood tests on tuesday.
Ive been feeling like my thin self has been abducted and eaten by a fat alien and I want to be saved.

Oh Ninnie, such honesty but your signature is right "one day at a time".

Welcome to the forum. It's great you've had a look around first. You must be due to receive your program any day now?

Please tell us as much about yourself as you feel comfortable to share (start a diary in the new diaries section) and know that we are all cheering for you and that you will probably be down to double digits after your first week!!

Your skinny you is just about to explode out of your fat alien and conquer it for good. Well done on taking the first step towards destroying you fat alien forever!

Hi Ninnie...congrats on deciding to start this journey! It sounds like you have a supportive hubby which will be very handy along the way

The results are amazing and as long as you are committed to the program and to yourself then you'll be done with in no time! I've been doing this for just over 4 months and the time has flownnnn by once I got into the groove of it - or 'the zone' as it's called around here

And this forum is amazing for inspiration and support, and for realising there's people out there who can relate to what you're going through - it definately helps keep things on track. There's also so many great ideas on here for dealing with certain situations (parties, xmas, food-pushers) and also some yummy recipes to spice things up

Look forward to following your progress once you get started!

Hi ninnie,

Welcome aboard !! It's good that you have already made yourself familiar with this place - that should help you "settle in" really well !!

Jlou already mentioned to "start a Diary" - and you can, even with you not yet having your program. The only stipulation is that you fill in the Diary Request From once you receive your program.

Check out the "stickies" in the New Diaries section - they will tell you all you need to know. Then start a New Thread in that section (call it Ninnie's Diary, or similar - your choice) and tell us all about yourself. Just like in here (New Members) you'll find many stopping by to say Hello - and, of course, you can do the same with them.

I'm sure you will be DELIGHTED within a very short time once on the Plan !! With the Plan, this place, and with your choice to do Cohens !!

Koh

Hi Ninnie,

Firstly, a belated welcome aboard on the forum. Also, I would like to wish you well on the journey of weight loss. It is the best programme which I've ever done and boy, I'm so glad that the results motivated me to press on to the end. I was one of the 'lousiest' weight losers here... koh can testify to that . I was totally skeptical and all but hey, you are different, you are very positive... so I think you already have it easier than I do and I would really want to see you succeed. Cheerios!
