Hi there my name is Laura and i live i Bradford England with my husband of 4 and a half years. I'm nearly 27 years old and work with my husband in a warehouse sorting out delieveries and stock. i've struggled with my weight since i was a teenager, and always thought that i was overweight, when i was studing at uni fpr my degree i started missing meals and making myself sick when i ate.

When i meet my husband i started eating properly, but eat the same portions as he did. Now i'm a emotional eater. Last year i suffered from 3 miscarriages and started having really bad anixity and panic attacks and now i suffer from depression because of it. I found out i was pregant dec 11 with twins. At the begining of Jan 12 i lost baby one and the end of Jan 12 baby 2. i was off work for 5 months because of everything, and the only way i could cope was eating the pain away. Then i stated using this site made lots of nice and supporting people, who welcomed me with open arms i started losing weght. Then at the end of Oct 12 i fould out i was preganant again i was over the moon as we hadnt been trying. Started buying things for the baby as we was over 12 weeks then at the end of Nov i got rushed to hospital and at the begining of Dec 12 had another miscarriage.

My whole world came crashing down, i was told i would have to have another miscarriage before they would do any tests to see why this is happening. There isnt a day that goes by when i dont think about wanting a baby. But i know at the moment i'm just not ready, and i just need time for me. Because of all the wonderful friends i have on this site i was only off work for 5 weeks, and i've lost 5lbs even though i struggle still with food, they all just keep me going.

I would love to return the favour to you. I log daily and comment whenever possible, i spend more time on this website then anyother. I would love to help you on your journey.

I'm still a working progress i want to lose 80lbs in total that would make me 142lbs and i cant remember the last time i weight that.i KNow i can do it i just have to believe in myself and know i'm worth the time and effort.

Please feel free to add me

Good luck to you all

Laura xx

    Hi Laura. My name is Tammy Bailey. I live in Mechanicsville, Virginia. I'm 47 years old, registered nurse with 3 children (two adults and 1 teenager). I am hoping to loose 30 pounds. But will be happy at this point with 10 pounds! I also am an emotional eater and have a difficult time with will power. Unfortunately I love to cook. I have family members who suffer from depression and understand how difficult life can be for those who use food to feel better. I am somewhat like that myself. Sending prayers and encouraging thoughts in obtaining all your goals!
