Hi everyone!
I'm Kirstie, 24 from Reading UK!
For as long as I can remember I have always been "big", "big boned" or had "puppy fat" - basically, I've always been fat! - no point in beating round the bush eh!
After having 2 babies only 12 months apart I gained a phenomenal amount of weight and felt as attractive as a sack of spuds. I constantly felt frumpy, lethargic and disgusting. So 20 weeks ago I woke up with some sort of attitude transplant and decided it was time to do something about the monstrous weight I trundle about with - sure enough, I've stuck to it and 20 weeks later I'm 61lb lighter! I still have a way to go but I know with the mindset I've got I'll get there and by surrounding myself with like minded and supportive people I'll get there eventually!
So to anyway who fancies a bit of moral support and making new fitness pals on this tough journey feel free to add me
