hi!

my name is Terrie, im 21 and live in north wales with my husband and my 2 children, Rhys (2yrs) and Ffion (11mo)

my main priority over the last 2 1/2 years has been my children, im a housewife and when im not working my part time job i am cooking, cleaning or doing laundry. Over this time ive had no chance of getting out of the house to exercise and as a result ive put on a whopping 2 1/2 stone :noway:

so ive made the decision that enough is enough! im going to take some time for me, ive joined the gym and a swimming club and replaced all the junk food in the cupboards with healthy snacks.my husband is ok with looking after the children for an hour a day whilst i do some exercise and i know he'll support me with what im doing.

ive lost 11lb so far bringing my weight down from 14st 9 to 13st 12. i feel so much better already, being a jean size smaller than i was has boosted my confidence and i am looking forward to being healthier and less tired than i have been.

anyway.. so ive rambled on for ages...LOL

so here i am :flowerforyou: im sure it will be nice getting to know you all!
