Hi! I'm 24 from Manchester. I have 2 little girlies and this is my first ever diet. I was lucky first pregnancy and only gained a stone. I got pregnant straight away (well 3 months later) but we lost that baby and I turned to food gaining another 2 stone (hadn't lost the previous gained stone). We tried again and got pregnant straight away and gained another 2 stone. We have a 14 month gap between them both and I honestly wouldn't have it any other way.
I started Exante at 210lbs, and since the middle of January I have gone down to 173lbs. My BMI is hovering around 25 so once I have finished my packs I'll be starting Slimming World with my dad. My goal is to get down to 140lbs so I still have a while to go yet.
I'm married to my partner of 3 years. We planned our first daughter's Christening and decided to get married on the same day, so I (I say I because he didn't do much) planned a wedding in 6 weeks. It was small but wonderful.
Before I became pregnant with my first I was at university in Liverpool doing BA QTS Primary Teaching and ICT but the tutors made it difficult for me to go back, so DH and I moved back to Manchester to be near our families. I am hopefully going back to college in September to do a Teaching Assistant course to get me back into the classroom because I love it!
Both my daughters have an intolerance to milk. DD1 has multiple food allergies (wheat, gluten, soya, berries and dairy) but DD2 isn't near the weaning age yet, so we have yet to see if she has similar allergies. We've both decided not to have any more children, but I am interested in becoming a surrogate in a few years time. It would have to be someone else's egg and sperm though, otherwise it would be like giving away our own baby which I couldn't do.
Sorry for going off on one, I get carried away sometimes.
