My story if your interested ...

Hello guys and girls,

I'm Chloe, 25 from England.

My story started as a chunky kiddo, never by means of a bad diet but just being bigger built from the word go. Over the years, moving out of home early, having countless crap relationships and going through my teenage/early twenties binge drinking I have gained a hell of a lot of weight and at my heaviest was 18 stone 1 pound. A figure I hope I will never see again in my life. I've always plodded along pretending I was content with being the big girl, outgoing, bubbly and going over the top with my hair and make up to disguise my disgust with my weight.
Finally early this year I was diagnosed with gall stones and had repetitive pancreatitis all through my disgusting eating habits! I decided to change my life for good. I am currently down from 18st 1lb - 16st 11lbs. I feel fab and I am starting to tell a big difference.
My ultimate goal is to fit a comfortable size 16 (uk dress size) and be able to feel sexy, curvaceous and confident. I have started going to my local gym and have a brilliant plan set up to concentrate on toning and
Building muscle so I don't retain all that horrible loose skin after the loss.

Would absolutely love to hear from you all and having more friends connected would really boost my morale :) please feel free to send me a message or a friend add.

Chloe xx

    Just do it slow ten pounds at a time is the trick. Good luck.
