Starting out...

Hi there,

My name is Bella, and I have recently turned 30 (yuicks!!). live in the South-East of England and I have been overweight to one extent or another for most of my life.

9 years ago, before falling pregnant with my son, I lost a significant amount of weight, and was probably as comfortable with myself as I have ever been. I put on about 21lbs (10kg) with my pregnancy, and instead of losing those over the the following months and years, I have gained a significant amount more.

Over the past couple of months I started thinking seriously about my health and getting into shape. So the target is to get back to my pre-pregnancy weight (and maybe even lose a tiny bit more) - about 88lbs (40kg) to come off.

Looking forward to getting involved in the community and meeting like-minded people to share the journey with.

Bella :-)
