Hi all, my name is Kelly and I will be 40 in a few months time. I live in the UK

I started on my weight loss journey 2 years ago and I have lost 25lbs so far, I had lost 35lbs but put a bit back on at the end of last year by taking my eye off the ball. So I found this site 2 weeks ago and so far I have lost 4lbs. I am 5' 2'' and weigh 146lbs at the moment, I really want to be fit at forty rather than fat at forty.
I run and go to the gym 3-4 times per week which is helping with the inch loss and clothes feel so much better.

Feel free to add me as a friend.

    KEEP IT UP!

    This is the time to do it. I am on the same boat.

    Keep logging and after 21 days it becomes a habit and harder to get off track.
