I'm 44, married and have two kids - one boy , one girl. I'm a nursing assistant in a Sexual Health clinic.
I love dancing, reading, drawing, walking, gardening and sleeping in my spare time - cos I don't get much sleep usually! And I've now discovered I love swimming and geocaching too, so I'm getting even less chance for a little extra sleep now and I'm permanantly knackered!

I lost a lot of weight in 2010, but then had an accident and an operation which nearly killed me, so I couldn't be as active as I used to be for quite a while, so I piled the weight back on again. I dieted in 2012 - just a low cal, low fat, sensible eating and more activity sort of diet - and got down to my goal weight of 9st (126lbs) - but I gradually put it all back on again and after Christmas 2014, I weighed 11stone 1lb (155lbs). I've been dieting and exercising more since the New Year and have managed so far to get down to 9stone 5.5lbs(131.5lbs)
I hope to lose those last few pounds for a goal weight of 9stone(126lbs) before the 27th June 2015, as I'm having a BBQ for my birthday and hope to get in my favourite pair of jeans that day!
I'm also working on being much fitter by 11th July 2015, when I'm doing a sponsored charity 26 mile walk for MacMillan Cancer Care. I am busy in training for that atm.
