Hello
I want to properly commit to starting over again and really sticking to it this time and could do with a few new friends on here who are in a similar situation. My weight really crept up a few years back after problems conceiving and a miscarriage. I started on here in 2012 and lost over a stone but then found out I was pregnant and despite trying to eat healthily the weight piled back on. I also broke my leg whilst I was pregnant so was virtually immobile for months which didn't help! After an emergency cesarean and ongoing health problems since I can't really do any exercise or do much at all. Over the past year I keep loosing a few pounds then putting it back on and it's been going nowhere. I also work in an office which means I'm sat down surrounded by biscuits or a lot of the time lol! I have a wonderful husband who loves me just the way I am, but I feel like my weight and poor health are trapping me in a vicious circle. I have a very active 2 year old daughter who can now out run me and I'd love to have more children in the future so I really need to get a grip and do something before it's too late. Initially I'd like to loose around 5 stone, although 10 is probably more like the amount I ought to loose! I've been doing Slimfast ( well the cheap Asda version anyway ) which has given me a fair kickstart of about 9/10lb lost in the past 5 weeks but I could do with a bit of support to keep me on track

Hi, I'm so sorry to hear about what u been through with the miscarriage, that must have been a very difficult time for you. Like you, I am from UK, a mum, and also wanting to lose 5 stone. My starting weight was 16st 4lbs after having my son who is 9m now. My current weight is 14st 5lbs. Hope we can be friends and motivate one another.0

Thanks ladies, I'm embarrassed to say exactly what my weight is but it's over 20stone Getting to around the 15 stone mark would be amazing as I haven't weighed that little since I was a teenager!0
