in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,
My name is Jo. Im a mum of 3 boys from central Victoria in Australia. I am currently 270ish pounds!! I know...I hate even writing it. And i need to lose about half of that! But i have successfully lost weight in the past so i know I can do it and I am finally ready to get back into it and take charge of my life! I am following a cyclic ketogenic diet plan and am starting off with a 6 day a week light exercise program which I plan to increase as I go along. I would really love to meet some other people who are following a similar type of weight loss regime or who have a similar amount of weight to lose. Not really sure how this site works yet so i am just finding my way but I think the succes stories on this site are amazing and I am looking forward to learning more as I go. Lets get into it!

    Hi Cssm,

    Thank you. I just sent you a FR. I just joined on January twenty something as well but i notice that my profile says i joined in 2009. I never really did use it back then though and cant work out how to change it. Anyway, its great to meet someone who has only just joined also. Totally agree that its hard for a mum to find time for herself with so many other priorities. Enjoy your day.

    Jo
