Hi everyone,

I joined this site today after a friend recommended it to me.
I'm 34, a mum of 4 lovely boys and have a great husband, my reason for being here is to lose weight, get my confidence back and to improve my health.
I've used one excuse after another for my weight gain but now its time to crack on and do something about it.

I have suffered from depression since losing a baby in 2008, I quickly fell pregnant soon after and now have baby George who is almost 7 months old and is gorgeous! Although I love all my children, I don't feel I gave myself time to grieve for my baby and started comfort eating, thinking this was making me happy but it was actually making me alot worse which in turn made my depression worse, viscous circle!!!

Something has finally kicked in and I am determined to change my life around, I have so much to look forward to and am actually excited about losing weight (never thought I'd hear myself say that!!!)

Good luck to everyone xxx

    Welcome! this is your turning point where you made the decision to change! Congratulations! You made it through the first step.

    Now move on to number 2.; Start tracking your food then add #3. Excersice.

    All it takes is determination to do something for yourself because you are worth it.
    Also, we are role models for our children. They learn from our actions not our directions.

    Congrats on your new baby! Enjoy him, grow with him and love life.

    When we feel good we anc accomplish anything

    Happy Journey!
