Wow!! Five kiddies and two sets of twins! You deserve a medal!

OK - I'm Debbie and will be 45 next week. I'm married (second time around) and I have 4 daughters aged 26, 22, 19 & 11. I also have two lovely granddaughters aged 8 & 5.

I was mostly a career mum for the last 26 years with a few part time jobs such as cleaning, shop work etc but decided to take life by the horns last year and went to college full-time to gain some qualifications.

Those qualifications were enough to get me into university and that's where I am now, studying for a BA Hons in English & History. I also decided to make the effort to sort out my weight problem once and for all - only that way could I say that my life had completely changed.

I still have a way to go: at my heaviest I was 21st 12lb and at my last weigh-in I was 13st 10lb (after having gained 20lb over Christmas - stupido!!). Hopefully I'll reach my goal of 10st by the Summer and then watch out world!
