Hi everyone,
I'm new here, & just wanted to say hello. I'm from Australia.. I'm currently trying to get my head smart about healthy eating & exercise. I'm a 33yr old mother of 1 child. I put on 33 kilos during my pregnancy and as much as i'd love to blame the weight on the baby, i can't, that baby is now going on 8 years old, lol.
I've noticed over the last 10 years just how much i get sick now compared to before. I'm no where near as healthy as i was pre-child, & i'd love to get it all back.
Atm i'm trying to get set up with information so i can go into this as positively as possible, i know it will be a hard road ahead, but i do like a challenge i must say,
If anyone would like to join with me along my travels i would love that, the more support the better! If not, any kind tips would also be great, thanks.
Best of luck on your journey :-)

Hi, from Sydney. You will find this a very helpful site if some what addictive, but in a good way. My facebook friends wonder where I've gone. Lots of helpful tips in the different topics, great recipes, challenges to join, and motivation when you need it. I will send you a friend request.0
