I am a recently married 51 year old lady living in the Midlands, UK, enjoying the past (almost) 3 years with my new husband.....though many pounds have gradually crept on over the last 4 years when I was at my slimmest at 9st 13lbs!

I have had weight issues all my life from childhood, went to diet clubs with my mum but became a secret binge eater; a habit/addiction I continue to battle against every day.

Since stumbling across this wonderful site, I am in no doubt that tracking my progress, writing in my journal and corresponding with like-minded people will all help in my determination to get down to my target weight of 10st.

My profile pic was taken on my wedding morning last February in Levi, Finland (after my hair appointment)....one of my favourite photos that always makes me smile, and is how I still look, minus the snow queen tiara of course!
One of my long term aims is to return to the Ice Chapel in Levi in 2026 to renew our vows BUT with my wedding dress taken in somewhat!

In the meantime I have plenty of smaller goals to spur me on, so it's down to the business of shedding the pounds, taking control of my food addiction, getting healthier and feeling fantastic....easy ;)
