Hi everyone. My name is Gail and I am 35 years old and live in Northern Ireland.
I have been married for nearly 9 years although to be honest things aren't good at the moment and I am not sure what will happen. We don't have kids but have a dog and 2 cats.
I have started my weight loss journey about 5 weeks ago and have lost around 24lbs so far. I would like to lose another 54lbs. I would love to achieve this for 2013 but as long as I get to healthy weight I have no hang ups as to when that happens.
I am attending Slimming World classes in the UK for the group support and also I have been educating myself by listening to the Jillian Michaels podcasts. So I am also tracking calories with myfitnesspal. I am heading on holiday with my family to the states in less than 6 weeks and I am hoping to invest in a fitbit/fuel band etc so any advice on the best one to purchase would be great.
Exercise wise I am trying to do 30day shred at least 3 days per week but I am walking at least 5 miles per night at a reasonable pace. (I am not a fast walker)
I am hoping to use the forum and my blog to help provide the support I need to get through journey and if I can help someone else at the same time that would be neat too.
Well anyway thanks for taking the time to read my ramblings xx
Though I've only visited the Republic of Ireland, I think your island is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. I hope you enjoy your time here in the States.
I don't really have any info on the fitbit/fuel band, but I'm sure someone will chime in.
It sounds like you're doing lots of good things. Come back and post often. I'll look forward to seeing you around.
