New year, desperately seeking a new me!

Helloooo All : )
I'm trying so hard this year to get this weight off as of course many of you are. After countless years of trying and quickly stopping, I'm the biggest I've been yet! I have to do this for my 4 kids, as I'm beginning to not have any energy and it's preventing me from enjoying life to the fullest! Of course the health risk is a big factor as well! Here i am to make a change once and for all! I only have a few friends thats committed but it would help tons to meet new people and daily encourage each other!
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO ADD ME, TOGETHER WE CAN!!!

    I just love your user name on here; so glad that you are loving being a mummy! I, too, have had a real wake up call this week regarding health and weight (see my post earlier today) and am desperate to be as healthy as I can for my beautiful girls.

    I am sending you a friend request and wish you much motivation and willpower as you make this important journey xxx
