Yours is a brilliant story Fiona.

I have been big since I was about 17. I felt embarrassed and I know a lot of my failures have been down to my weight and low self esteem caused by it. We have to do it for ourselves dont we.

In the past Ive joined friends on diets who need to lose a bit. When they lose interest so have I and its all gone back on again...short term fixes are not for me!

Joining my last gym down in Sheffield is what really made the lifestyle change I needed. I've lost my way a bit since moving up to Wakefield but have found another place that I like. No excuses and all that )

I'll remember your story when Im wavering. I want to be posting my before and after pictures up on here!

I like the idea of this forum. I find that if you talk about weight loss with people in your life they all have their own take on it and you can easily be discouraged. No thank you. Thats the last time anyone tells me that this, that or the other wont work for me.

Thanks Fiona
