Hi there my name is Laura I am 27 and I live in Bradford England with my husband of nearly 5 years. I have been trying to lose weight for at least 4 years with little weight actually coming off. That is until I joined this site. I originally joined last March after my sister had lost nearly 2 stone. I should tell you a little abut myself. In the past 18 months I have suffered 3 miscarriages. I lost twins in January and February 2012, and baby 3 November 2012. I have been struggling really bad with this as I am so desperate to have a baby. I gained a lot of weight through these pregnancies. Last year I lost a total of 8lbs, which I am so happy about as it was the worse year of my life, this year so far I have lost 7lbs, which I am also proud of. At the moment I am struggling, as I am having some tests done to see if there is a reason behind the miscarriages and they have found some abnormal cells, so I have been referred to see a specialist at the hospital so I am extremely worried about that. But my weight wont seem to move and I keep losing and gain the same 2 or 3lbs which is driving me crazy. My little sister is getting married next year and I wont to and feel the best I can be so I really need you help, motivation and fitness tips. I haven't seen my family in 2 years it will be 3 by the time the wedding comes and I don't want to feel embarrassed of the way I look. I'm wanting to lose around 50lbs within the next year. I already have some amazing and supportive friends on here, but would love to meet some more. I log daily and I am honest with what I eat. Please feel free to add me I know we can all do it, I just never realised just how hard its going to be xxx

Hi!
Sounds like you have had quite a hard time, I'll keep my fingers crossed for you that everything turns out well. I can understand why you would be so nervous. I have been on this site for about a year now but it was only recently that I've actually started to use it seriously. I am also very honest with what I record, no use in lying, look where its gotten me up to this point! Feel free to add me as a friend, I am looking to make some new, motivational friends also0 -
I hope you're ok and doing well, I originally joined late 2011 but finally got the motivation to do something with this website. I added you0
