Hi I am a young 54 years old I have 4 children, 3 girls and a boy 2 cats and a dog called Harvey. I work for the NHS and my favourite pastime is going on holiday, hence why I am desperatley trying to lose some weight. I have had a weight problem all my life you name a type of diet and I have probabley tried it. I am also on medication for high blood pressure which I hate taking. The reason to lose weight is two fold to feel better in myself and to reduce or stop taking tablets.
