This is my story
September 2006
I am married with 3 children, currrently living in New Zealand, but still listening to UK radio via the internet, which is where I heard about this website!
I gained a stone after I got married, then gained one stone per child. I joined a Rosemary Conley class after having my last child and nearly lost a stone, but it all went wrong after going back to work full time. I never had time to exercise or watch my diet and I regained that lost stone very quickly. Another stone crept on over the next couple of years and then over the period of moving here to New Zealand, I have gained yet another stone and now feel I have got a mountain to climb. I am always making excuses for not having time to exercise or go to a diet club and I don't have any excuses now. I am not working, my kids are at school, I should in theory have loads of time!!
My body is telling me it doesn't like being this weight. I am 40 next year and I know it gets more difficult to lose weight the older you get. And I want to run along the beach with my kids, not dread the thought of going there!
Update - May 07
I have joined a gym and try and go 3 times a week. However it has been 2 months, with negligible weight loss!! Anyway, I am feeling other benefits - bits of me that were starting to hurt, aren't any more and despite my weight, I can do 30 minutes of aerobic exercise without collapsing in a heap, so even if I am not losing weight, my body must be benefitting! So, I have overcome the exercise bit and have got into a routine with it and this week I am going to make a concerted effort with food...and alcohol!...
