Hi guys,

I'm Joanne,35, mum of four gorgeous kids (3 boys and 1 girl). I was born and bred in Athlone, Westmeath and am now living in Lagos Nigeria with my family. Hope to go home in June/July for the summer. Back to the lovely River Shannon and all those long walks I used to do. Miss home, miss the craic!! Well that's me, how about you?

    Morgan, Marine brat, raised in Leeds and all over the world due to Dad's work. Right now stateside but who know how long that will last. Dad's siblings and parents all live in Cork so see that as home base.

    Sue from Dublin. Started this 3 years ago before I turned the big 4-0. Lost 3 stone. Passed by driving test, changed jobs, stuggled through my mum's illness and death and now have 2 stone to go again! Doc's orders to lose a stone as family history of diabetes. Determined to do it this time.

    Hi, I'm Sharon , a mum of 2 Smallies (3 and 9 months) from county Cork.Total target of 60lbs to lose to be a 'healthy' weight but a lot more to gain in terms of health and fitness. Have lost 18.5lbs since mid Jan and I'm running my first 5k on the 29th may. Which for a chronic asthmatic and life long excercise avoider is HUGE! Going slow and steady in both the weight loss and the running but finally going to put all these demons to rest! Have no friends on here yet so anyone wants to add me yer more than welcome!
