Hi There,
Im looking for anyone that can help with the trials and tribulations that comes with trying to lose weight, bring up 3 young kiddies and everything that goes with farming life. Would LOVE some support, this is my second attempt here and just found out I have high cholestral so trying my absolute best this time and would love to have some support and support you also!:smile:
I am a professional photographer and work from home and find it hard to find time for good quick healthy meals. My husband and I have our own farm with a dairy herd so he works very hard and can be out and about most of the day. I love looking at the lighter side of life but, of course, we all have bad days too and would love to share my weightloss journey with others.
This year I am turning 40 and my hope is to be 40, fit and fabulous. I want to be a great role model to my kids and encourage them to be fit and healthy too so I need to do this, I feel like it is now or never as I seem to be in the first stages of all this weight having some effect on my health and that scares me. I have about 25kg to lose. I'm looking forward to making some great friends from all parts of the world!:flowerforyou:

    I'd love to join you on this journey! I'm a mama of 9, and also share your goal of being 40, fit and fabulous. I'm looking for support and friends as well, so I've sent you a request. :)

    NINE?! :-)

    I've still got some way to go but started in a similar place in September last year.

    Currently living in the UK, just outside London but lived in Hawera, Taranaki for a short while.


    Full-time job and long hours... Sometimes I think I'm OK support and other times I'm just too tired! Add me if you like - I do like to share food diaries though, I've learned a lot about different eating habits by looking at others' diaries.

    Oh yes, and I'd love to be able to take beautiful photos!

    Welcome!! You've made the first step , the most important one! I've been where you are...had 4 little ones ( any everything else that came with it) . They do grow up with different challenges on the way. I have struggled with post baby weight sincce they were born, and now with health challenges have to make some changes before its too late. I'm trying to look at it that i have to look after me first and foremost to be able to be look after my family more effectively. Some things we don't have control over, this is one area that i'm trying to get control back and am looking for friends and support too.

    Together we can all make this happen!!
