Hi all
I am Lesley from London, UK. Mum of four - grandma to one.

Lost 56lbs in 1997 but with the birth of my last two children it crept back on plus some more so finally decided that I need to do something.

Only joined today. I am at the biggest I have ever been 195lbs - Been dieting and excercising for past week then found the app for this site on my iphone. Saw doctor today to get a bit of support so it will be monthly weigh-ins.

Really impressed by the stories on here and hoping that I will be writing one of them one day.

    Lesley, I joined this site 3 weeks ago, but started my weight reduction plan on June 25th. When I weighed in June 25th, I weighed 197 - the absolute heaviest I had ever been. I saw 200 looming close and decided I needed to do something and it needed to be done immediately. I adopted a dog from the rescue shelter and she and i began walking 4 - 5 miles a day. By the time I joined this site 3 weeks ago, I had already gotten down to 180. I have now lost nearly 6 lbs in the last 3 weeks. My goal is 140 by Christmas.

    Everyone on this site are great. they provide a lot of support, encouragement and help you feel way better about what you are doing and who you are. Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Blessings
