Hello,
I just wanted to introduce myself! My name is Kirsten, I am 28 and from Dorset in the UK.
My weight has always been very up and down but I managed to stay at a healthy weight for several years until a bad break up and my Mum being ill which prompted the comfort eating and meant I put on loads of weight. I have now been at my heaviest weight ever for the last few years and want to get rid of it!
I did slimming world last year and lost about 2 stone but put on 7lb of it over xmas...yikes!!
I went to see a nutritiionist and now I am following a new eating plan plus exercising! I am really enjoying finding some new healthier recipes and feel loads better for the exercise....just got to keep on track which is why this website seems so great!

Hi Kirsten
What a sensible approach - it sounds like you'll have no problem getting slim and fit. It is a great sit and I feel re-energised since I signed up last week. Good luck!0
