Here we go, then, 2008. Don't be shy, Lowculturers. Honesty is key.
My name is Carrie and I like to eat, which is not good when combined with a problem when processing insulin. I would like to lose a stone and a half this year. I am actually quite physically fit, and go to the gym at least three times a week as I am running a 10k in May. The weight doesn't shift, though, possibly because I still like to eat.
Anyway, that's me. Feel free to bare your souls.

I'm Paul. I want to shape up because I need a man, and my heart is set on Hugh.
I eat, a lot. I work in a cafe and even though I'm on my feet rushing around and up and down the stairs all day, it doesn't count as exercise, and by the end of the day the last thing I want to do is exercise. I could join a gym, but the prospect doesn't fill me with glee, and while I do a have a treadmill, I just need more encouragement to get on it and run my arse off to the sound of Girls Aloud, or even walk quickly watching series 2 of Heroes.
My goal is to lose around a stone and shape up a little, and improve my diet.

*chants* Hello Paul and Carrie.
I'm Natalie. I have had 'issues' with food in the past. Although all that lingers from that is my poor self esteem and love of diet cokes. I seem to eat relatively healthily but i have no willpower to exercise. At all. I will do it for a day then won't bother.

Hello everyone.
My name is Lucy and if I could I would eat deliciousness all day every day. I do have some kind of willpower apart from the odd weekly binge so I eat ok but I do sod all exercise due to me living next door to the law school I go to and hating gyms.
Recent 'smock'/baggy fashions have lulled me into a false sense of security but if I ever had to wear anything tight I would probably resemble an egg on stilts. I would like to lose about a stone to look better in clothes.

Hello Carrie, Natalie and Lucy.
Tomorrow night there's a show on Channel 4 called Half Ton Mom, which features the world's heaviest woman who is 64 stone.
I think we should all watch it to improve our self esteem by being thankful we're not that bad.

Hi everyone
I'm jerriblank and after a particularly gluttonous Christmas break (oh who am I kidding, make that last 12 months) I feel like I am the Half Ton Mom.
I have no willpower when it comes to exercise but hold a huge amount of willpower when it comes to sourcing lardy food in the fridge.

Hello Jerriblank!
Do you know, I'm feeling almost goodwill-to-all-people-like with this thread.

Hello everyone, I'm Ruth and although I eat healthy enough main meals (and occasional crumbles etc) I snack a lot, especially when I'm with my friends and I really hate exercise. I am sometimes really good and go 3-4 times a week for 3-4 weeks then I am really bad and I don't go for 3-4 weeks. I could do with dropping a dress size.
I am going to go swimming or gymming tomorrow. I am, honest.
All my family are large so I have no chance really.

Mini ripples only have about 90 calories, which is less than a glass of fruit juice or something.

Hello, I'm Christopher.
I love food, and I'm not ashamed of it. Well possibly I'm ashamed about the numbe of Fox's chocolate shortbread rings (otherwise known as death biscuits) I can eat . However being a stocky shortarse excess eating does have the habit of making me look very greedy very quickly. For the last year I have been endeavouring to exercise my way to a form that I would be more pleased with. This has sort of worked, and sort of not. I am certainly a lot healthier and fitter now (I run 2-3 miles 3 times a week at least) but in the words of the 'amazing alliterative Arlene' off SCD my "top half is not so good". This is something I would like to rectify in the new year, so that I can spend my summer playing shirtless football in the park without offending anyone's sensitive gaze.
Initial success is unearned but welcome, as my 4 week nausea fun party has left me discinclined to eat, and so I've lost weight. I now fit into my optimistically bought in last years sales thin work trousers.
*expects round of applause*
However I have just eaten a curry in an attempt to tame my errant digestion. Now I am in pain and want to be sick.

I give it three days before people start posting thinspo photos and meaningful lyrics about inner beauty.
Hi, I'm James. I would like to tone my body this year as I'm a shameful snacker and have very skinny friends. I also live in fear of bingo-wings after my housemate last year said I had them (I resisted the urge to mention her cellulite).

meaningful lyrics about inner beauty. Inner beauty? How naive do you think we are? We all know the concept was invented by Disney so that fat girls would buy Cinderella dolls.

I want this year to be the one where I finally can take my top off. I want a harder ass as well, my ass is so not even there (it prevents me from tucking stiff in, although wearing trousers I can get away with this).
But finding jeans that look good on me is a nightmare - I always want to stomp into a certain jeans store on Buchanan Street and just shout "what's gonnae make me look like I've got an actual ass then?"

Hello everyone. My name is Joel. Up to the age of 25 I had the metabolism of a gazelle and could eat anything without gaining weight. That has now caught up with me, but I still eat like it hasn't, especially comfort eating through jobs I hate.
I also hate exercise.
Logically I know I'm not fat, but in my mind I need a stomach I can bounce pennies off or I feel enormous. I might force myself to swim.

Hmm, well. I don't want to fall into the whole January weight loss thing as it's one of the things I most fucking hate about January.
I don't think i've eaten that much this Christmas and I still fit all of my clothes. Yes, I could do with losing a few pounds. I currently don't really eat that much and try to do at least 60 sit ups a day.
I just feel like denying yourself food you want to eat and exercising all the time, you're just going to think back when you're old and think "Fucking hell, why didn't I just let myself have a bit of fun?"
I say this because I know of other people of the net who are rather obsessive about their own weights and go to the gym a hell of a lot. I tend to think that weight loss is mostly for the benefit of other people. Some people lose weight because they want to, some people do it so people don't call them fat.
I tell you, i'm not looking forward to bitches calling my size 14 arse fat in whatever shitty workplace I end up in.
Hey, it's ok to be fit an'all but just don't end up turning into that fucking Slim Fast woman.
Edit: Oh dear, got smited for this. I do support people wanting to lose weight though. Honest. It's just one of the shittest things about already shitty January.

Hello everyone,
My name is Lise and I want to lose about 2 stone before I go to France for uni, in September. I've got to the tipping point, where I'm starting to feel really shit about myself so I kinda have to do this. I'm only 5' 3 so 9 stone-ish would be nice,possibly a pipe dream.
I don't eat a lot of crap (although I did go through a phase of flapjack addiction, til I realised they were about 500cals each), i just eat too much I think. I've always been a bit chubby and always had a tummy. I hope to God I can get rid of it. My mum used to be like me, and now she's like a pencil, so there is hope. I walk for about an hour a day so I'm not desperately unfit, but I'm scared of exercise.

Hello group.
I'm Carl and to quote Shameless, I'm a bulimic who can't stand vomit. I'm only 20 and yet I have a relationship with food that really only middle aged depressed mothers should have. Sometimes I don't eat for a day or two, and others I don't seem to stop. University was my complete and utter downfall as far as exercise goes, but now that i'm shit at it so I've left on a break until a year next September I feel that the time is right to sort it out.
Also, I seem to be bred for a heart condition so I’m thinking being a fatty isn't the best way to prolong life, and i'd very much like to be able to go shopping again and not worry that i'm going to pick up an extra large t-shirt but then try it on and come crashing out of the cubicle looking like I’ve landed in a boob tube that's ready to ping off and take someone’s eye out. That, and I would also very much like to look better than the ex-fatty up the road who has transformed herself into beauty personified.
My goal is to fit into a large size from All Saints and have it mostly flat and not go really skinny as then I would look like lurch, being 6ft 5ins. I'd also quite like to go to a beach and not be in constant fear of Japanese whalers turning up and harpooning me.
I'm going to achieve this by being hypnotised by Paul McKenna’s "I Can Make You Thin" book and CD set, and lots of time on my exercise bike and in my dads gym.
*sits down*

Hello. I'm Scott, and a week on Saturday I will be 31. To all you young pups on this noticeboard, BE WARNED: the minute you hit 30 your metabolism laughs in your face and officially announces it was only having a laugh during your 20s and now you're going to fucking suffer.
I have never eaten much in my entire life - I am quite happy having a bowl of soup for dinner - because actually I'm not bothered by food really. However, I like the booze. I like it a lot. And without wanting to turn this FatFighters meeting into the AA, I am now concerned that my love of Stella and white wine is having a bad influence on my gut. Basically I don't want to be Steve MacDonald in a couple of years time.
However I have no will power, a fridge full of booze, and an almost passionate hatred of exercise. Sport was invented so that stupid people would have something to do while the clever people were off enjoying themselves. I have no intention of wearing small shorts and sweating in my spare time.
I am therefore turning to you, my fellow LCers, to somehow stop me from drinking like a fish and become more svelte and toned. WARNING: as I write this, I have this evening consumed two bottles of lager, a glass of cranberry cocktail, a Jim Beam and Coke and an entire bottle of Argentinian White. Like my sweepie appearances, it seems I may be out in the first week.
My goal is to be able to fit into those "small" Abercrombie and Fitch shirts without unnecessary tugging around the belly region once more. Please help.

That, and I would also very much like to look better than the ex-fatty up the road who has transformed herself into beauty personified. Ugh, a regular faghag on the Leicester recently did that and now the gays have treated her as The Second Coming. I lose count of how many people have said 'Ooh, doesn't she look amazing now?' In our Review of the Year in the pub today we decided she'd been nipped and/or tucked and therefore it must be true. The fact she disappeared for a few weeks and came back thin and glamorous only adds to this.
