Hiya
Little bit about me i am 21 and was always a smaller size 8-10 but about 5 years ago i got glandular fever and was very ill with it! Well i hardly went out after getting it n spent most of my time either in bed or just sat at home! My weight went up and i gained about 2 and a half stone and my friends were worried as they'd never seen me that big before not really too sure why because i didn't eat alot when i wasn't well! Well about 3 years ago i managed to get down 2 stone because i worked lots in a busy chippy and was constantly on my feet.
I left school and needed more money and garuanteed full time hours where at the chippy it wasn't always garuanteed.
So i got a job in a betting shop which involves sitting there and taking bets so i'm pretty much not active hardly at all only when i do shop tidies. I also go to college now so i find it even harder to fit in time to exercise so the only time i get to 'exercise' is walking bout 25 minutes to the bus station to get to work 3 days out of the 5 i work (the other 2 my b/f takes me) so now i am size 12 and 10st (i am only 5ft 3) and wanting to loose at least 1st 7lb! One of the main reasons i also want to get into shape is that me and my b/f are trying for a baby and i think it would help if i got my body into good shape.
Sorry for the long post and i hope to get to know you Good luck xx
