    Hi! Welcome :) I love your outlook on the whole thing. You just want to be healthier. When you're not focused so much on numbers, it can be a lot less stressful & that will really help you!

    Hi Ailsa!!

    This site is great. I love it and think I may actually be getting a bit addicted!! The iPhone app is great too.
    I'm in the last half a stone of shifting all my baby weight from having my son - some five years ago!!
    Really has been tough getting it off but totally worth it. And I refuse to accept that having one child instantly means you have to carry that weight with you forever after!

    I'd be happy swapping tips with you and helping motivate you - and myself too, I have been at this diet thing since I was 13 and have learned so much about it all, I'm not a naturally thin type!!
    feel free to add me as a friend :o)

    Best of luck to you with your goals they are within your reach :smile:

    Hi my name is Kim. I have a beautiful 8 month old daughter and work full time so I am busy! I need to loose this baby weight! I have had such a hard time because I was nursing her, as well as getting used to my new schedule, but, now I stopped nursing and am ready to drop this weight!
