in Introduce Yourself
I just turned 40 last week and have been overweight since being 11. I have the worst will power in the world and suffer from guilt dreadfully. I did Weight Loss Resources last year and lost 10lb in 5 weeks but a holiday got in the way and I lost my will power again. I am a full time regional HR Manager so stress and travelling also get in the way....am also mother to 7 year old twins which can also cause the need for alcohol!
I am really hoping I can do it this time and would welcome any fellow strugglers like me so we can support each other.
Kind regards
Rachel

    I know exactly how you feel - I managed to lose 5 kgs last year which slowly went back on - I thought a trip to India would sort me out but I put on more weight. That was followed by a month of inactivity followed by a month of Christmas celebrations and another 5 kgs. And although I have the will power of Oliver Reed in a brewery I am determined to give it another go, so would be delighted to join your band of fellow strugglers to give and receive support where ever necessary -

    Good Luck
