Hello! Welcome to my page, come on in...

Hi! I'm Fiona and am a 41 year old wife and mother from the UK. I have been a member of Spark since June 2008 and, although I haven't lost the weight I wanted to (12lbs), have found the motivation to keep on going and not let my weight creep back up.

So, here's my story:

I have been trying to shift the last stone I put on when I was pregnant for the last 18 years! Every year I would try again either with Weightwatchers or Slimming World or another online diet ...
Hi! I'm Fiona and am a 41 year old wife and mother from the UK. I have been a member of Spark since June 2008 and, although I haven't lost the weight I wanted to (12lbs), have found the motivation to keep on going and not let my weight creep back up.

So, here's my story:

I have been trying to shift the last stone I put on when I was pregnant for the last 18 years! Every year I would try again either with Weightwatchers or Slimming World or another online diet programme and every year I would lose a bit and then not be able to afford to carry on with the programme and give up; hoping that I can keep it going myself. Who am I kidding, I can't do it myself - who can? So, here I am trying again, the difference this time is that when I got to the stage where I would have had to give up due to financial pressures I have been able to continue due to Spark being free. Thank you so much SparkPeople.

The other reason I love SP is that I can record my fitness. I try to go for a run (or trot in my case) 3x per week as well as swimming 2x per week. I also try to fit in some strength training 3x per week.

Thanks for visiting my page. If you would like to add me as a friend, please do so. If you would like me as a buddy, please ask.

Thanks for the support Fi, no baby in site yet.. due Friday ... The web site will be more about the 3% of the people who have a fairly usual auto immune problem that affects the Thyroid including the weight gain and controlling it problems.

I am doing it more as place to record things for myself to be honest. The experts say 3% do put weight on, but also. most of them, say that is due to feeling of being hungry, and we over eat without knowing, feel tired, so don't exercise. I can't think of any other reason! It makes no sense to gain with an overactive thyroid! .. and yet ........

So anyone will be welcome to call in on it and comment, but I can't say what direction it will take .. my other was for wood turning ... and there is all sorts of stuff on now , even a page for the Rubber Pterodactyl mascot!!

thanks for stopping by my page and your lovely comment :)) Thought I'd return the favour and check yours out - you have a truly lovely family & enjoyed your pics soooo much - eeyore is my favourite character and I always get a pic with him.

The true magic of Disney doesn't come alive until you share it with your family so honeymooning there (and as great as it was) wasn't the same as going back with our daughter who truly made us all believe that dreams do come true! lol Sounds corny but oh the magic of Christmas in 2001 will be a treasured memory forever for us.

I'm hoping on our next trip (this Oct) that I will weigh less than I did on honeymoon and have some pics of myself in there that I don't cringe whilst having them taken or looking back at them, So am going to try extra hard this next couple of week to not only track but to stay to the lower end of the calorie bracket and get this weight moving again!

Good luck to you too with your challenges and will be watching to make sure you think twice about forgetting to log! ;)) hope that fruit cake is all gone now!
