Introduction

I have tried to lose weight many times before but inspired by watching 'The Biggest Loser' I have decided it is time I got really serious now with no more excuses.

I weighed myself this morning in Boots so there will be no cheating. After all, if I cheat then the only person I am cheating is myself!! I will take a photo of the weighing slip and upload it each week so I can keep a record of them.

My starting weight is 19 stone 1 lb. I have put on a few more pounds since I last tried dieting but am thankful I didn't quite pile it all back on. At my heaviest I weighed 19 stone 10 lbs.

Dh and I are trying for our third child and I know that my weight is holding me back and not helping things. I want to be able to buy nice maternity clothes when I get pregnant and hopefully avoid the problems I had with my pelvis when I was pregnant with my dd, now aged 6.

I am very excited and feeling more motivated than ever!! I WILL succeed!!!

I have joined the Biggest Loser UK forum and am counting calories and eating more healthily. If anyone is one the forum and reads this then if you search for Emma that's me and you can add me as a friend.
