Needing mates for support, accountability and motivation

Hey everyone,

I live in New Zealand but I'm open to friends anywhere. I have always struggled with my weight until 2 years ago, I started on this journey to lose a lot of weight and increase my fitness, so my husband and I could start a family. I lost 43kgs however when I finally got my miracle baby I put all the weight back on so I'm starting from scratch.

I adore my son but he is now 5 months old and he needs me to pull my finger out and get healthy so I can be around for years to come for him and my family.

I'm really motivated but I'd love to be on this journey with others who are in the same boat as me or even others who have been through the experience of being morbidly obese (at least that's how the medical profession categorise us) and losing a lot of weight.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Orla xxx
