Good Morning all!!
Welcome to the best year of your life.
I am totally on it this morning - have got the tracker book all ready to go, pepper soup made, sugar free jelly made, and as I am full of cold and feeling slightly crappy I got the tape measure out this morning....
I have lost cm's everywhere!!
But am still in a size 28??
Not sure why that is...anyway...
I hope everyone has a fantastic start to 2012 and I look forward to supporting each other throughout this brilliant year!
Intro on me:
My name is Emma, I'm 38, married with no children, I work full time as a PA to the board of directors at a renewable energy company. I have always been over weight since about age 12. Had a bowel operation at 12 years old and had to recoup for 3 months and put three stone on very quickly and it went down hill from there. I have done diets before but always went back to the old ways of eating and put the weight back on. This time I feel like I am making life choices and I point everything.
I would like to be in a size 20 by 15 July when I am attending an event where I will see lots of friends and family members who I usually only see once a year! We are also going to book a holiday abroad this year so would be nice to be able to fit comfortably in a plane seat!
That's it really...I look forward to reading your intro's and getting to know each other a bit better!!

My intro. My name is Gwen im39 im married to Stuart for just over 5 years and have a 2 year old little girl called Hollie . Im a stay at home mam but worked for 21 years before i had hollie as a cash office manager and wage clerk. I was 17.5 stone when i got pregnant and the same weight leaving hospital so cant blame baby weight. At my heaviest last year i was 18 st 3 lb and i lost 21 lb on ww but gave up and put back on 11lb. I restarted in sept 11 and have lost 30 lb this time so just 3 stone in total . It feels different this time cos i really want to be thin for my 40th in Nov. I was in a size 24 but am in a 20 now in most things so defo going the right way
Good luck to us all this year. T will be a great one or us all x x

Well here goes .......
Kay aged 42.... Really old. OMG where do I start? My weight has been up & down for years. I was a lovely 12 when I got married 13 yrs ago & I think that is prob when it started. Up & down yo yo dietin since tho I've never got back to a size 12. That is my aim actually, to be a nice comfortable 10/12. I have 2 kids Lauren , 12 & Zak , 8. I work at a local college supporting students & twice a week we bake lovely goodies that I ave to sample. I don't think anyone understands how bad my weight makes me feel, or why I eat like I do. That was until I met u lot & you understand my highs, lows & everything inbetween. Anyway got holiday planned for end of august. Just to be lighter by then is a bonus. Xxxxxxkay oh almost forgot I live in shefffield xx
Really old my ass ! Why did you start putting weight on ? Was it marriage lol !
Hi girls .... I'm Gail and I'm 38 years old. I have been married to Carl for nearly 15 years and we hav 2 boys Ben 11 & Jack 7. I've worked for Barclays Bank for 22 years and am currently an Operations Support Manager working 4 days a week. I have been dieting since I was about 15 and have lost the same 4 stone more times than I care to remember. I have a v bad relationship wiv food and v low self esteem and have had lots of therapy recently to address my "issues". It's due to some of these "issues" that I feel 2 ashamed to put my weight or dress size on here incase u were wondering. Done a lot of hard work on my mind/thoughts in 2011 and on 2012 want to work just as hard on my body. This thread has been like a life line for me and it's nice knowing I'm not the only one who struggles. Know I've said it before but thank you again for all ur support and together we can achieve anything!
That's me in a nutshell! X
Aww hun thats sad that you feel you can't put your weight on here .... but you will at some point ! My husband doesn't know how much I weigh, and Im so ashamed that I am heavier than he is.... not by much but its still more
How do you feel about yourself after your therapy ? its really hard going through something like that as its all in your head (meaning you can't just stick a plaster on it and it will heal ) You obviously have had some major things to address, and addressing them is just the start of the process. Im so glad this thread helps so many people, not just me, its a buzz knowing that I can talk to you all about anything !
