I'm Suzanne, I have 3 children, all girls aged 7, 4 & almost 2. When I'm not mumming I work parttime with mums & newborns as a breastfeeding support worker which I absolutely love doing, I also do a few voluntary bits.
I first started getting fat in my late teens when I put on 4 stone in a year! Before then I was slim. I stuck to about that weight until pregnant with dd1, afterwards I did go down to the lightest I'd been in years but was still about 13 stone. I then started going upwards again, put lots on with dd2, didn't lose it afterwards. Lowest I got was about 15 1/2 stone when she was a toddler. I then ballooned again after a very emotional point in my life and with pregnancy with dd3. I think I was about 20 stone just after giving birth. I dieting last year for a bit, started at 18-something, I got down to about 17 1/2 but managed to gain it all back and more again. Hence my starting point of 19 stone 5lb this time which I felt dreadful at. I've done loads of diets over the years, I seem to lose motivation quite quickly, but not this time. I eat a very good basic diet, it's the crap on top of that which makes me fat.
Clair sounds very similar to my old job, I loved it, got to do all the fun things though did get a few bruises, lol. Ironically it kept me really fit as I did a lot of trampolining, walking and swimming as part of it.
