I want my loved ones to be proud.

My name is Elaine and I am a 25 year old pale skinned, readheaded Scotswoman....

Who is fat.

And I would love more than anything to be healthy. fit and prove it to myself and my loved ones that I CAN turn my weight and fitness around and be my very best.

I have struggled desperately all my life being overweight but have just added more and more pounds over the years until I tipped the scales at around 212 lbs a year ago today. (I am 5'4")

I lost weight through diet and light exercise until winter last year and then began to pile the weight back on again.

In early May this year I made the commitment to run my first ever 5K on June 30th. I haven't run anywhere since high school and getting started was tough but I now jog/run just under 5K 4 times a week.

I have my 2nd 5K arranged for the start of August and I hope that I can start to see results soon... I have 56 lbs to lose before my goal weight is achieved.

At the tail end of last year I had a consultation for a breast reduction as I am a 30 K cup and was told I need to be a 27 BMI before they will operate.

I hope that I can lose the weight so I don't ever actually need an operation... but for now I have to put up with my heavy, sagging and very uncomfortable breasts hindering my weigh loss even further.

Lets hope I can do it this time.
