Thread: taking the scenic route to a slim and healthy new me ...

not much to say really, im 43 yrs old and a good 6 stones overweight .
both my parents have type 2 diabetes and heart problems, so not a good outlook for me if i carry on as i am
ive become a single parent in the last 6 months, so i owe it to my 2 children as well as myself to try and get as fit as possible .. well, i have no choice really, my energy level is 0 at the moment!
my first goal is to try and lose 3 stone by the time my lo starts nursery in sept .. i dont want to be the largest mum at the school gates as well as the oldest!
im also starting college as a mature student next week, a little nervous but also excited .. i hope to drop at least couple dress sizes by the time i finish the course end of july
my ultimate goal is to try and lose 6 stones in total by my 45th bday - april 2014, it would be a dream come true
