Hello!

At the beginning of 2015 I had a Mirena coil inserted and since then I haven’t been able to control my weight gain. It has steadily climbed even though my diet and activity stayed the same. I am really hoping this diet will help me lose at least 15kgs. I’m in for the long haul!

I am 44 years old, 161cm and weigh 85kgs! Not good. But it feels good to say it – no one else knows how much I weigh.

I feel like such a blob and lack energy. My goal is to feel confident in my body and not to feel embrassed wearing a swim suit next summer (I’m from the Southern Hemisphere).

There – that’s my introduction and I’m sure I’ll be posting quite a bit to get all your advice and support.

Many thanks and I look forward to chatting to you all. Katiebelle.

Hi, I started today. I’m 164cm tall, 52 and weigh 90kgs. I also have a 10kg goal. Today has been my first fast day and not too bad however a miscalculation at breakfast has meant I’m 150 calories over however I wont get in a fluster about that but put it down to experience and plod on! Good Luck 😊
