Default body ruined by pregnancy
Hi ya ladies! [and gents??]
I'm Laura and I've joined to finally be rid of this weight. I've been lurking around and I don't need to lose as much as the majourity but I'm hoping that doesn't matter
I've always been "plump", never had a slim body and never really disired one. I had my first daughter just after my 19th birthday and the pregnancy completely distroyed my body. I now have an overhang [where my stomach hangs over my underwear!] which I know I can't fully be rid of but hoping I can reduce how much it hangs over or just make it look a bit more "presentable" lol! I also got a shed load of stretch marks- but they don't bother me anymore.
I just gave birth to my 2nd daughter 11 weeks ago and my end weight of that was 10st. I'm now 9st 12lb and I would like to be 8st- or possibly a little less- before the year is out. I'm only 4ft 10 and my weight isn't distubuted in a flattering way at all.
I can't seem to do it on my own and I'm hoping this place is just what I need

thanks for listening and looking forward to hearing your stories and making new friends xxxx
