I'm Emma, I live in Northern Ireland with my husband and my wee son Isaac (born April 2010) . I work full time as an administrator for a children's charity.

I joined SparkPeople in Nov 2011. My light bulb moment came when I was asked to be bridemaid for my friend at her wedding in June 2012. As vain as it sounds I do not want to be the fat bridesmaid. My weight loss goals are to reach 140 pounds by the wedding and then continue loosing weight until I reach my goal of 130.

I'm Emma, I live in Northern Ireland with my husband and my wee son Isaac (born April 2010) . I work full time as an administrator for a children's charity.

I joined SparkPeople in Nov 2011. My light bulb moment came when I was asked to be bridemaid for my friend at her wedding in June 2012. As vain as it sounds I do not want to be the fat bridesmaid. My weight loss goals are to reach 140 pounds by the wedding and then continue loosing weight until I reach my goal of 130.

For the first time in my life I am enjoying exercising. In Oct 11 I took up running and I have really caught the bug. In May 2012 I ran in the Belfast Marathon Relay which was great fun. My next running goal is the Waterside Half Marathon which is taking place on the 9th September.

In 2012 I also hope to continue to work out with my trusty Kettlebell.

I hope to meet lots of new people through Spark People and perhaps even make some new friends.

Update: Sept 2012- Tickers reset (153 pounds)
I'm still continuing to try to loose weight and improve me fitness. On the 9th September 2012 i completed my first Half maraon in a time of 2hrs 16 mins and 11 secs.

Although I didn't reach my goal of 140 by June 2012 I'm still ploughing away and I'm still proud of my achievements to date. I now hope to make it to the magic 140 pound mark by my 30th Birthday in January 2013
