hi all, just a wee story about myself. i am 35 year old female,have a lovely fiance called steve and 2 beautiful daughters,erin(14yrs) and raegan(12yrs).i am a nurse in surgical unit childrens hospital,i love my job,infact i miss it when not there.we are getting married in cyprus(kefalos beach front,paphos) 29/0/10,40 family and friends are attending and were having BIG party when we come home,everyone says about time aswell lol.as for weight i have struggled all my life since the age of 14yrs,my heaviest was 21st and got down to 15st12lb with scottish slimmers just 2 year ago.i missed classes etc and weight started going up again,and basically i got a taste of food and wanted more.i am back up to 17st11lb,that was my weight on thurs at LL.i decided on LL to help with the keeping it off and understanding changes to be made concerning food.dont want to be skinny as always been bigger,but comfy 14 would be nice.i am on time scale also, as i need to order my wedding dress by mid april.have saw a stunning gown and it was beautiful at this weight,so will be added bonus if i could loose 2-3st.look forward to comments and good luck all lighterlifers.oops got bit muddled slightly further down page,this blogging is all new to me lol.
