Hi everyone!

My name is Sarah, I am 28 and I live in Birmingham. I have 2 gorgeous little girls who are 2 and 3. I was slim before I had them but since have suffered health issues (split pelvis) had mental health problem so my appitite was all over the place.

I am so serious about loosing weight now, it got to the point where I looked in the mirror and thought Jesus! Nothing fits me properly and would love to go in a shop and buy what I like, not just what I think will hide the flab!

Would be great if people add me and we can do it together

Hopefully will hear from someone

Sarah x

    Hi Sarah, welcome aboard!

    You will find all the tools here to get moving and start losing weight. I have about the same weight to lose as you and kids at roughly the same age. Add me as a friend if you want to, I'd love to help you get started. I used to live near Birmingham. Well Tewkesbury and Cheltenham, so about 1 hr away. Now living in Switzerland with my Aussie husband and our 4 daughters.
    Good luck on your journey.

    Hi Sarah :)
    I'm Lorraine *shakes your hand* I'm from Edinburgh so relatively close.

    We're in the same boat, I'm looking to lose about 5 stone aswell, seems like a monumental task just now, but people here are friendly and supportive, it really helps knowing you're not alone.

    Feel free to add me, I'll try my best to be a good shoulder :)

    Hi Sarah! I'm in the UK too and I'm quite a bit older than you but I'm still about 5 stone overweight too (I've lost a bit). I hope your health problems are sorted now.

    Hi! Add me as a friend - I have just lost 4 stone in 5 months with hard exercise and eating clean(er). A good tip for you would be to start a countdown in days - tear off a page each day, you will be amazed how quick the days pass which helps focus your mind on your target. Good luck!

    Hi everyone:smile:

    Thank you all for making me feel welcome, I had a bit of a relapse yesterday (asda's chocolate cornflakes my guilty pleasure) and I had a few too many latte's. The good thing is I had dinner at 5pm (usually have it at 8) so I am going to try doing the same all week

    Hi :)!

    So I'm just as serious as you are about losing weight. I'm setting little goals for myself:), like from today to July 4 th I'm not going to eat any chocolate. And am going to try to exercise for 30 min 3-5 times a week.

    When you feel bad about something you ate, immediately go jog in place for 10min. It rejuvenates you , burns calories and makes you feel better about that nasty latte you just had.

    Hope this helps!!
