Hi
I'm 29 and live in Durham (in the UK) with my hubby and my cute little cat.
Recently I've gained so much weight. I can only fit into one pair of jeans and my tracksuit bottoms... I'm so ashamed!
Me and my hubby have been undergoing IVF, which has been incredibly stressful and it lead me to gorge on comfort food. After starting with the IVF hormone treatment, I just ballooned. I did get pregnant (which was the best feeling in the world), but sadly I miscarried a few weeks ago. We were devastated and this lead me to eat even more, and drink a whole lot of wine too!
Anyhoo... now I'm at my heaviest weight ever, but I'm determined not to buy any bigger clothes.
I'm going on holiday to Skiathos in July and I want to look reasonable in a bikini by then. I also start a fresh course of IVF at the end of July, this time I want to be ready to deal with it without turning to junk food.
I'm currently following my version of the Atkins, where I have between 20-50 grams of carbs per day. I'm not really one for exercise, but I enjoy a brisk walk now and again. I'm hoping to be 145lbs by the end of July... but I maybe I'm expecting a little bit too much from myself.
Unfortunatley, the pic isn't me (I actually think its Jennifer Aniston) but I find it insperational. I think I'll add a pic of me when I've lost some weight.
