Hi i have been joined since Monday and so far its going well, the site is really great

I Live in the UK am 48 and have about 23lbs at least to lose. I let things slide a bit after an operation last year and before I knew it one year on I am nearly two stone heavier.

I just came back from my holiday and saw the pictures and could have cried. The holday was lovely but I didnt recognise the person in them as me. I looked ten years older, with a double chin, flabby arms and stomach. I looked like an old women ( i am even too ashamed to post any as my profile pic so have used on that is two years old) That is what has finally spurred me on to get on with losing the weigh and to stop procrastinating about doing it! I dont want to look back on the memory of my life and for the pictures of me override all the good things I have seen and done and me to focus only only how overweight I had become.

I am looking for support and motivation on the way - the more the merrier I say so feel free to add me as a friend if think we can support each other along the journey. I am in it for the long haul as once I get the 23 lbs off I will be looking to go a little further to get BMI down and also to maintain and get back into exercise
