Introducing myself

Hi everyone, my name is Mary and it is with trepidation that I embark on this journey. After 5 children and many many years of shiftwork (which to me was a license to eat badly and at the weirdest times!), I am now attempting to rid myself of that sneaky 10kg that has crept up on me over the last few years. Even though I eat relatively healthily and am quite active in my day to day life, I have realised that it is just not enough. I am not sure what I am doing but have made a promise to myself to be successful. Wish me luck and good health!

    Hi Mary, I'm new here too! I've led a relatively healthy life too but still had 10-15 pounds creep up on me. I joined this site three days ago and it's wonderful! Feel free to add me and we can encourage each other on our plight to get fit!

    Hi Mary, my name is Heidi, I am from South Africa and I too have just started my weight loss. A few years back had a bad sports accident and hurt my hip. I had to have a big op and learn to walk again. Went from an active person to practically a non active person. The weight just kept creeping on and I guess I came locked in that yo yo syndrome. Watched the video Discovering The Gift and realized I have not been true to myself. So here I am being true to myself. Good luck on your journey.
