When I was 18 I started my journey. After reaching 16 st and 7 lb's, I knew I had to stop. Finding it difficult to walk and classed as obese, I went to the gym everyday and restricted my diet. Successfully loosing 4st and 7lb's getting me down to 12st exactly. Thrilled I was off to University, which now has me spiraled to 14st and 10lb. But i took a long look in the mirror, and now started my journey all over again. Just happy that I didn't get back to my biggest. Now I have lost half a stone in a week. Leaving me currently at 14st 3lb's. But I need support, and that's why I am here. xx hoping for a better future, where weight doesn't cage me.

Well done for taking the that long hard look in the mirror and getting yourself back on track. It's so easy to let "stuff" , no matter what it is, get in the way. You should be proud of yourself. 🌹
Hi Unicornsarereal
Great start. I Just finished the 12 week plan and lost 3 stone. So keep Positive and lets get them pounds off. Has time goes by you will have to think about doing some exercise as well. I have taken up cycling ,because I did not like running. Good Luck .
