hi there, i joined this site on the 21st of Jan and until very recently i have been using it purely for logging my calories, (ive lost 10-12 pounds so far, dodgy scales).

I'm 23, from the UK and currently 273 pounds! i am really aiming to get down to 196 pounds (this is the weight i was last time i felt confident about my body) i am a large body type so this weight ment i had a flat stomach yet still curvy.

But who knows?  once i get there i may want to lose more, anyway this site has me down for nearly two years to get to this first target and i would really like some support and guidence from those in the same boat as me.

 On a more personal note i am currently training to be a graduate media teacher, half the week teaching at a college, half the week learning teaching theory at uni.

I have been in a loving relationship for almost three years now with Simon, my better half, he is amazing and supportive but also as skinny as a rake with the worlds fastest metabolism! damn him! he he, simon is also a teacher and an amazing singer songwriter, who is always on the go when possible as he has a severe back problem which can limit our activities as a couple.

feel free to add me. x 

Getting there!
