I think it's about time that I introduced myself :)

I'm a 35 years, a mummy of 3 + 3 more that I'm a aunt/guardian and live in the UK. I've been battling with my weight for about 12 years now since the birth of my youngest child and being a mum, I've always put my children first and been way too busy with everyday life to really worry about my weight until now. I have an issue with my self confidence and sometimes find it hard to mingle with people so MFP is ideal for my needs. I'm off on holiday to Tunisia in June and thought that would be a great goal to head for would be being able to fit into UK size 16 (I'm currently a size 20 ..) I really don't want to look like a stranded whale on the beach lol.
I've been using MFP for the last 4 weeks and managed to lose 14lbs, a whole stone! I've found that I'm now eating much more than I did before and I even started to feel a positive change in my body as well as feeling a lot bit better about myself. This is the most weight that I've been able to lose in years and I'm so delighted with the results so far and looking forward in reaching my goal weight in time for my holiday. That's just first phase of my weight loss journey!

The weight loss isn't just for the holiday, it's being fit, happy, healthy and being a good example for my children
