Hi! I'm Sophia, 23 yo mum of two from Melbourne, Australia.

I am currently 108.7kg, I have been overweight most of my life, due to emotional eating among other things.

I am determined to get fit and healthy for my two girls who are nearly two and 6 months. I don't want them growing up with the same issues I had so before I focus on losing weight I'm trying to normalize my relationship with food and exercise.

I love walking with my girls in their pram, if anyone in Melbourne (or anywhere) does the same, add me on MFP :)

    Hi Sophia! Wow, talk about timing. I just joined myself. I'm also in Melbourne (North Eastern) and a mum of one. Planning on making that two at some point, but unfortunately because of my job it's not on the cards right now.

    I started out around the same weight as you, and just like you for me it was emotional eating that got me to where I was. I had a terrible relationship with food. I loved it, but it didn't love me! After a diet (Tony Ferguson) and exercise program I'm at 74.6kg, but my lowest was 66.6kg which is the minimum of what I'd like to get back to.

    Now I'm trying to drop the 8ish kg I've gained over the last 6 months and so far I'm not doing that well. In fact, I've only just gotten on track again. But I'll get there :D
