Hi New joiner Alert!

I'm 20 with gallstones and 2 children one who is five and one who is 10 months and I need to loose around 2 stone. I want to be happy and confident again. I also really hope to hit target.

Hi blair96 I can sympathise with you with 2 small children mine are grown up but are still at home. You will lose the weight just got to get your mind set. I've found this last wk I can still eat my favourite food but not so much as you know it's counting calories. Sorry to read about gallstones problem. Keep your chin up. 😁😁
