Hi! I am Jenny. I am new to this site and so far liking what I see. Iam 28yrs old, married with 2 boys ages 2yrs and 9months. I don't do dieting well alone as I tried in the past. I need to loose roughly 70-100lbs to be healthier and at a good weight for my short self. I am setting myself up for mini goals at the moment so my ideal weight doesnt seem so far away.

I have PCOS which is causing my body to do bad things. My eating habits are not the best either. But I took the first step for me and went to a weight loss doctor and Im hoping she can help get me on the right track.

I would love a buddy to be my support and give me a good push along the way when I need it.

    Hi Jenny...

    I'm a mum of 2 too... a boy of 4 and a girl of 14 months...

    I'm a rubbish eater too - too much of the bad stuff and not enough of the good... All things i'm trying to change...

    I'm following the slim fast 3-2-1 plan at the moment hoping to kick start a bit of weight loss as I have over 100lbs to lose...

    Have sent you a friend request if you'd like to stay in touch?

    I'd be happy to support you in anyway I can. Taking the first step is often the hardest, congrats! I am a mom to 4 children my youngest is 2 yrs. I know how hard it can be to take time out of the day for yourself but it is so needed, you feel better and a when you feel better and are happier it trickles down and makes those around you happier as well. Good luck!
