HI I'm a newbie

I found this site by mistake and liked the name! I am just about to finish a Masters degree and move to London to get a new job. Part of my new life plan is to finally start liking my body. I hate the fact that I let my body-image issues get in the way of achieving elsewhere in my life and so I want to do something about it.

Plans so far include using the slimming world diet (anybody else?) and to start doing dance again. I did a few classes this year at University but often felt out of place being the only big girl there! I'm determined not to stop me as at one time dance was a major part of my life and it's sad that's gone. I'm also trying to swim more as that's something I enjoy.

I'd appreciate any encouragement and advice as I have a long way to go - 70lbs to lose!
