Well I've been a member here now for a week, but I havent introduced myself because I use MFP on my ipod (which doesn't allow me to view message boards or post in them).... I'm currently on my husband's laptop whilst he boogies to Just Dance.

So here is a little about me...
*I'm 23 years old.
*I got married on 24th July 2010.
*I gave birth to my son on 30th July 2010.
*I currently have a dog, a cat and a rabbit. I'm an animal lover.
*I have always been fuller figured but not necessarily "huge", I had curves in the right places, but whilst I was pregnant with my son I started gaining weight quite rapidly. I was diagnosed with Pre-Eclampsia at 36 weeks pregnant and was induced to have my son. I was really ill, i needed constant monitoring, I was put onto medication and I never lost the "pregnancy" weight.
*I have a high blood pressure problem (due to the pre-eclampsia), I have to take medication every day.
*I have a health issue that I'm currently seeking help for, (I don't want to mention what it is though, it's personal), but this problem does get affected if I over-exercise.

My reasons for trying to lose weight are:
*I want to get healthy again, (well, as much as i can through weightloss anyway).
*I want to set a good example to my son as he grows up.
*I want to feel attractive again and feel confident about myself.
*I want to be sexier for my husband (haha).
*I want to be able to wear nice clothes, ("fat" clothes are not very flattering or nice).
*I'm going on holiday soon with my son and my husband, so I'd like to be able to enjoy it without being self-conscious.

I think thats about it. :)
I'm accepting friends, so if you'd like to add me and be nosey at my journey into weightloss then feel free to add me.

:) xx
