    Hello my name is Tracy and i live in England UK.
    I started MFP on the 1st Jan 2013 hoping to finally loss the weight i have piled on over the years, so far i have lost 23.6 pounds, and i am really proud of this, but its now getting harder to lose and i have actually only lost 1.8lb in March due to having 2 weeks off while on vacation. so i am really hoping this group will be the push i need to get me back on track.

    Anyway more about me I'm 38 am marred with 3 children (2 girls and a boy), i have always been a bit of a big eater and as a competitive swimmer in my youth it didn't really matter as i burned most of it off, at the age of 16 I started helping to teaching swimming at the club and eventually my own training took a back seat as i eventually spent more time teaching and less time swimming and eventually i stopped altogether, so because of that and of course with my huge appetite the weight increased started.
    I also gained a lot of weight at collage, and again when i had my first child in 2001,and then again when i had child no2 in 2003 and lastly in 2006 when i had my baby boy, i did lose some weight after his birth as me and my husband got marred in 2007 and i started walking but it has since been all put back on and a lot more as well.
    Over the years i have had a number of back problems and my asthma has got sufficiently worse. i have found putting shoes on a big struggle as my fat belly gets in the way and i find it hard to breath because of this. i hate looking at photos with me in them as i feel ashamed of myself and what ive become. ;-( i hate buying new clothes and hate special occasions as i have nothing nice to wear that actually makes me feel nice and this gets me down too.

    i decide to lose weight this year as i turned 38 and i really don't want to be fat at 40 as i have been told your skin losses its elasticity at 40 and if you lose weight after 40 its suppose to be harder for your skin to shrink with you ( this could be wrong but its done The trick in getting my but moving again)

    anyway that my story.
    Tracy
