in Introduce Yourself
Hello! I'm Leanne and i'm a food-a-holic!

Anyway, it's taken me a lot of courage to get myself here eventually but it has to be done. I'm 19 and mummy to a gorgeous 2 year old. Before i fell pregnant with my daughter i was wearing a 10-12 and VERY happy. I put on 4 stone while pregnant with daughter and never got round to losing it but ended up gaining more!

It's getting very bad! Im now 5ft4 and 229lb or 16.5 stone! I don't even know how it got so bad, it happened so quick. If only it fell off as well as it went on eh?

I tend to make jokes about my weight but in all honesty i hate what i see in the mirror so now is time to change! I'll get there slowly but surely. I'm trying for a baby and am determined to eat healthy if i do get pregnant but i'm hoping my weight loss will help me get my POSITIVE TEST! Either way though, baby or not, i need to lose weight for a healthier me!
