This is definitely part of my reason to lose weight, I just want to be happy with myself. I'm so sick of recoiling in horror every time I look in the mirror & I'm sick of being the fat friend.

I love all of the ideas so far. I can't wait to get to know you all better & see what happens with the weigh in. Good luck, lovelies! x

My name is Mirna. I'm 38 yrs old and I have a wonderful, smart and funny 7 yr old son named Tien.

Why I want to lose weight? As long as I can remember I have always been on the chunky and fat side. I think the last time I was slim was around 7 or 8 yrs old. In 2006 I was diagnosed as a diabetic and while I have tried to lose weight I have not stuck with it.

I'm more than ever to get into a healthy weight range and be able to do things that mentally and physically I'm unable to do.
