Just saying hi

Hi everyone, my names Kate and I started my weight loss journey today after putting it off for too long. I bought some scales this afternoon and was horrified to see that I weigh 234 pounds. That's heavier than I was when I was pregnant! I really hope that I'll be able to make the positive lifestyle changes that I desperately need. I had to walk up 5 flights of stairs today and I felt like I was going to die. My legs were shaky, my head was pounding and I couldn't get my breath. I don't want to carry on like this. I've also discovered that I'm an apple shape, which apparently is the most dangerous shape to be as I'm carry extra fat around my vital organs. I just want to be able to look in mirror and like what I see for the first time in almost 8 years. I really need all the help I can get and I'll do my best to support everyone else :) xx
