Hi Everyone,

I've been on MFP for a week now and I am hooked, I am 5'3 30 years old and its time to get my life back. Ive always been on the bigger side but still healthy, but then I got pregnant in 2009 and everything spiraled out of control I did not actually gain weight during the pregnancy but after her birth I was stuck at home with a general store across the rd I soon became there number one customer. for the last 2.5 years I have eaten family block of chocolate a day plus whatever else I wanted whenever, I was depressed feeling like I was out of control. I gave birth to my 2nd daughter last year and things got even worse. I have gained about 25kg in 2.5 years and had several heath issue's as a result. This year is my year Its time to take control.. My husband has been amazing and is supporting me in this journey,he is wonderful but I know he would love to have the girl he meet 7 years ago back,
I am loving being in control of what I eat. I weighed in this morning and I have lost 3.7kgs or 8.1lbs which is exactly what my daughters weighed at birth, I have 41.3 more kilos to loose. and the chocolate is now gone from my life .

Looking forward to meeting some like minded people on here.

    Hi I just started this week too and we're the same age! Feel free to add me as a friend (I think that's the best part of this site and what will help me when I don't feel like tracking my calories and working out).
