Hello!

Hi! I'm Jessica, 33 year old married mother of one and today is the first day of reaching my fitness and health goals. I am overweight and pretty sedentary, though I have a very busy and active 3 year old. I am doing this because I am tired of being tired, tired of feeling sad about my physical appearance, tired of worrying about the longterm effects this weight and lack of movement with have on my health.

I've had success with weight loss before but really need a way tostick to it. I'm hoping documenting it here and finding a support community will help.

    Hi I'm Emma, I'm 29 years old and I weigh 197lbs and would love to lose weight and manage to keep it off this time. I do struggle to lose weight, it takes a long time for it to come off and seems to go back on again very easily! I am really looking to lose weight because I am tired of looking at my wardrobe seeing all my lovely clothes and feeling too fat to wear them! I want to look in the mirror and feel good not think "no, lets try another outfit"

    hello every1,
    This is my first time using something like this and thought i'd give it a go and see how i get on. I need motivation i can diet and exercise but as i do most on my own i need more motivation to keep it up! I have a fab husband who gives me that motivation but i need a little extra when he's at work etc. Good luck to evry1 on here also :smile:
