Ok now I'm done with the telling off, i can get down to it.
Im a 22 year old woman from the UK and have been married for nearly a year to my wonderful husband. Ive always been a 'big girl' and have watched my weight creep up over the years to a hefty 20st.. ive made some feeble attempts like SW, WW, Atkins along with Tae Bo, Hi - Impact cardio aerobics, Yoga, circuit training, dance machines in arcades but sadly never stuck at them for long enough to make a difference.
I gave up smoking 4 months ago.. something i never thought i would ever be able to do after 10 or so years of the nasty habit, however on willpower alone i went cold turkey from a 30 a day smoker to a non smoker.
Doing this has inspired me to tackle another thing I never thought possible and that is to lose weight.
Although my husband loves me anyway i come, i want to be able to present him with a new me and be genuinely confident with myself and proud of who i am without worrying that my bum is wobbling whilst walking into the resturant for our anniversary meal or turning the lights off in our intimate times... I want to enjoy life.
Shedding weight also holds bearing on my fertillity, i have PCOS and it is untreatable until i lose some weight, which might actually allow me to conceive a much longed for baby.
i am so unbeleivably glad to have found this place and will now make it my first port of call when reaching for the choc chip hobnobs and remind myself of why i am here...
mmm.. hobnobs...
FOCUS!!
~Ok so thanks for allowing me to ramble and a big 'Hi, hey there and hello' to all you lovely people and looking to making friends with you all
