Hey everyone!

I've always been overweight pretty much, though not by much and I wasn't overly bothered. After I became pregnant I quit smoking and haven't started again, the combination of that plus a difficult pregnancy which meant I couldn't walk around my own house let alone exercise, plus being uber stressed . . . I put on a lot of weight I want to be at a healthy weight, which apparently for my height is 55 - 65kgs, so that doesn't sound right at all for my build. I think 70 - 75kgs would suit me more. I have A LOT of weight to lose, I've lost 7kgs in the last 5 weeks which is great, and I'm aiming to lose another 8kgs by DDs birthday on the 9.9. I know they say to lose weight slowly, but I'm eating what feels comfortable (i'm not going hungry at all), I'm eating lots of protein AND still eating some junk food (choccie, anyone? ). So it seems to me that i'm being healthy and this is what my body wants to do, sort of thing.
I've started running!! I suck but the other day I ran from one goal post to the other, around the perimetre . . . that's about 200m. It's a lot for me!

So yeah, I have about 30kgs to lose. I'm not gonna post my weight but I think the math is fairly easy (I'm a size 18 atm).

Turkish Delight - the running will get easier, I promise!! If you keep running 3 -5 times a week, running for longer each week, you'll probably be able to run 20 - 30 mins in 2 months or so. Good luck!
