I'm Christie - 29 F and from the UK - looking for friends!

My goal overall is to lose around 10 stone (140lb).

I spent my childhood very active and slim till I got pregnant at a very young age and gained a lot of weight - in grand scheme of things, it wasn't that bad, I was about 175lb at 6 weeks post partum....13 years ago now.

Jump forward with my 2nd son, I started the pregnancy 225lb, and I ended the pregnancy 225lb! I didn't gain a pound - on way to my c-section I was 225lb. 6 week postpartum I was 205lb and I actually got down to 195lb in that first year..

The next 4 years though have seen me gain and gain till today when I hit 268lb!

With a goal weight of 9st2 or 128lb that leaves me with a lot of weight to lose!

Soooo if anyone wants a friend to buddy up with or just cheer each other on - add me please!

I plan to calorie count and maybe intermittent fast.

    Hi Christine, I'm even older 61, live really remote in Australian - like a 15 hour drive north from Perth, to go shopping it's 3 1/2 hours - I'd like to be your friend as the only way I've been successful in weight loss is calorie counting and exercise
