I am Lorna and I'm 44 years young! At this time last year I was going through chemotherapy for lung cancer and was placed on steroids to help manage the pain. Unfortunately it caused me to gain nearly 50lbs! Now I'm at the gym 5 days each week working toward regaining control of my weight and health. I have also legally adopted my then 2 year old grandson, who is now almost 5 years old. We've had him for all but 6 months of his life and he does a very good job at keeping me active :)

    Hi Everyone!
    I'm 42, married with 2 kids and 2 stepkids. Living in East Devon, but originally from Berkshire. I've been attending Slimming World for 4 weeks. I've just started this app. I'm disabled due to a chronic hip problem, so I struggle to do much exercise. Looking to make new friends for support and encouragement.
    Best Wishes,
    Nicky
