Hey everyone! My name is Leigh-Ann and I'm 25. I was just looking around the web and I came across this website and i think its an absolutely wonderful and supportive place. I've been struggling with my weight for my entire life and since i had my son 5 years ago its become a constant uphill battle to lose weight. I have tried numerous diets and spent rediculous amounts of money. Ive had some success and felt great about myself but then the weight always comes back on and I end up feeling that much worse. I am getting married (second times the charm..hehe) to my amazingly supportive fiancee Peter in Jamaica in September and I really want to not only look but feel beautiful on my wedding day.
