Never had a problem with my weight until i developed a taste for beer and then (woah) i put on 35lbs in 18 months. Managed to lose the odd 10-15lbs here and there but it always came back on again with a few extra andipose friends for company.

This went on for a few years and quite honestly i was in denial of the fact i was over weight at all....until my back went and X-rays revealed i had a spine malformation. The doctors advised me to lose weight. It was so so painful (yes worse than childbirth!) that i vowed to slim down and never go through that ordeal again....the diet went well for a few months until (BIG SUPRISE!) i discovered i was pregnant!...so here i am with an 8 month old perfect baby girl STILL trying to lose my extra jelly.

I'm going back to work next month so i would love to have lost a chunk of weight by then!

I am a nurse therapist working with emotionally/psychologically/be... damaged adolescents. For me it's the best job in the world and i'm really looking forward to going back part time.

My partner and our daughter are my greatest blessing, endless sources of laughter, merriment and fun. I want to lose weight for all of us. I grew up seeing the women around me crippled by low self esteem around weight and food. I want to be a positive roll model for my daughter not a mother miserable with her weight and hating herself.

I'm a big geek, love the internet, horror, sci fi and general geeky shananigans!
