Hi all, just fiound the site and signed up. I am a 28 year old new mother (6 week old). i was overweight before falling pregnant and now would like to lose 30 - 35 kg. I have set my self a 30 by 30 goal which is to loose 30kg by my 30th birthday which is July next year. That equates to 500grams per week which i think is more than doable if i set my mind to it and keep on track!!
