This is my first post - hello all!

[Round]

Hi everyone.

I only just joined and made a ticker to start my journey.

I have spent the last 6 years packing weight on. The other day I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and truly felt sick at the sight.

I have a daughter, age 6 and although my husband and I want a second child, my doctor says at my current enormous size, it would be reckless and dangerous for me to fall pregnant. Apparently my heart won't cope. When I did my first BMI test online yesterday, it also indicated that I was in serious danger. I don't know how I let this get so out of hand, but I need to fix it!

I have virtually no self control when it comes to food and even less motivation when it comes to exercise. I found this site and think it is my best shot at a new life of being healthy. Surrounded by people who understand what I am going through and who can give me REALISTIC advice on meals and tips is what I need.

So this is me

When I figure out what all the font and colour settings mean, my posts will probably get prettier to look at too.

(trying again because it seems my first attempt didn't go onto the forum)

Hi Thanks.
No, I have not decided which diet to follow yet.
I am slowly making my way through all the posts to see what options I have. I don't know very much about the diets out there.
Thanks for the welcome
