Earthlady

I'm 52, married and have two teenage daughters. I'm a busy teacher and head of department in a large school.

Actually my start weight was nearly 64 kg and had dropped to 62 when I joined Fat Secret in Nov 2011. I lost 6 kilos and reached my goal weight in summer 2012 with Fat Secret (I even went below goal weight) but I've put on a little of that since the summer so I need to get back on track and stick with it.

I promised myself when the scale dipped below 60 kg for the first time in 10 years that I'd never go above 60 again - it's time to keep my promise.

Apart from school, husband, kids and home, when I do have free time I enjoy creative stuff - knitting especially, sewing, sometimes painting, and I love reading, too.

Update - Feb 2013 - in an attempt to make maintenance easier and to improve overall general health I've put myself on a three month trial on the Fast Diet - a version of a 5:2 plan as explained in the book by Michael Mosley.
