Default Hello from Ireland!

Hello everyone

I just wanted to introduce myself and say hello!

About 9 years ago I discovered this website and posted for a short time in the brides to be section. At that point I was under 200lbs but very unhappy with my weight and successfully got down some weight for my wedding day.

Now, 9 years on and 2 kids later I am sitting here joining 3 fat chicks again weighing 295 lbs and basically quite desperate to lose this weight and get healthy. My first big goal is to get to 200lbs, and no, the irony is not lost on me!!

Tons and tons of reasons and excuses for the weight to have piled on like it has : pregnancies, pnd, losing family members. Like everyone else in the world we all have our problems and issues to deal with but I hate that I have dealt with all of this through food.

Joined weight watchers last night and got the fright of my life to see how much I weighed. Really shocked. It is only a matter of time before this weight seriously starts to effect my health (which I am sure it already is).

Well, I am so glad I rejoined ww last night and I am equally delighted to have remembered this site.

I wish everyone well with their weight loss and hope to talk to some of you soon.
