Introducing myself.....
I'm Ali, 25 and want to lose 3 stone. My mum uses this site and suggested I join as I am constantly struggling with my weight. I have lost quite a bit since my daughter was born but my progress is slow and I still have so much more to lose. My main problem is binge eating, I've always linked negative feelings with food and…
