Hi All

 

So ive been going through every article on the NF site for the last few months, finally joined the forums last week and have now built up the guts to introduce myself.

 

Basically i have gone from a skinny ass to overweight in quite a short time. Ive never been into gym and even when i was skinny didnt have a fantastic body. 3 years ago i met my hubby and weighed 50kgs at 5"1, but of course you get comfortable and the weight just piles on. I managed to starve my way back to 58Kgs for our wedding (on star wars day :tongue: we are both nerds lol) but since then all my weight has come back.

 

My wake up call was when i went scuba diving recently and needed my hubby and another friend to help me squeeze into my wetsuit, and once in the suit i looked like a big rubber ball.

 

Im not really concerned with weight anymore, i wana be strong and have a good body to go with that. so have been lifting weights for about 2 months nw and getting better every week, hopefully by this time next year you will see me on the lifting leaderboard :)
