Hiya from 'sunny' Dumfries

Just joined MFP a week or so back, only just discovered groups today :) Nice to see some fellow Scots in here - did a search for Dumfries and this is the only group that came up (can't find any reference in the threads though, weird).

I'm Li, 27 and mother of 5. Recent medications here completely screwed with my weight, adding 2 stone in 5 months, so I'm looking to shift it, plus a little extra baby weight. I may look small in numbers, but I'm just under 5' so approaching a size 12 - 6 years ago I was a toned (effortllessly, how I envy my past self!) size 6 and want to get back to that...

Never been interested in sports/workouts or dieting at all, but that was when I had a great metabolism. I could eat like a horse and weighed 6.5stone! Now, I'm watching my calories (swore I never would, but both sides of my family as far back as I remember put weight on easily and find it very hard to shift, I thought I'd escaped the curse) and breaking into workouts with the Wii Fit and the 30 Day Shred, hoping to feel more comfortable in my skin by the summer!

Not got many friends on here, so I figured a group would be the best way to stay 'accountable' to someone other than myself :)
