Hello

Options
I'm Michelle and I'm 30 years old and live in Doncaster, UK. I'm a full time student doing a social sciences degree and mum to 3 children and a step daughter who live with us full time. I've recently started back at the gym after almost a year off and in that year I've managed to gain almost 2 stone!!

In my early 20's I was a size 16 and about 13 stone and then 3 years ago I lost 4 stone after breaking up with my then partner and before long was lucky enough to meet the love of my life, Ian :). We moved in together a year ago and since Christmas we've both been enjoying our life together and gaining a bit of extra weight along the way and now we both feel we want to do something about it and be fit and healthy people.

I'm 9st 7lb at the mo so don't need to lose too much weight, about 10lbs is my goal but I want to improve my health for good and continue going to the gym and eating healthy so that when I do reach my goal I can maintain it.

Good luck to you all :)

    Hiya!

    I agree - it is addictive! But in a good way - I've never felt this excited about losing weight and it is great to know that everyone else on here has the same thing in common. Feel free to add me as it is so much easier when you see other people's progress - and inspirational! :)
