always looking for new and exciting people

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!
