Introduction: Lady on a Mission!

Hi! Amy is my name and losing weight is the aim!
I am a lady on a mission to achieve life long happiness, health & a goal weight that i havent been since i was 14yrs old.
I am a 28yr old mum of 2 beautiful little girls, i am a wife, daughter, sister, best friend, full time employee, weight watcher, amature fitness freak, but above all, i am just me... A human being just striving to be more than i ever have been!

I have always been overweight. Since i hit puberty at 13yrs old i started gaining and never seemed to stop. I have tried every diet under the sun! Every year making a new promise and resolution to loose weight for good...and ever year i had failed only to gain even more. Getting married and having children at a young age didnt really help me. I focused all my love & attention on my new family and stepped into the shadows of my gorgeous husband - forgetting about myself. My weight got out of control after having my 2nd daughter. I looked down at the digits between my feet on the scale on the night before i got induced and the digits read 119kg. I couldnt believe what i was reading!
Even though i was overjoyed at the birth of my new baby girl, i hit an all time low & knew i had to do something about my weight. So i lost a few kilos by myself and then decided to join weight watchers (for the 2nd time). My journey started on the 19.8.2010 weighing in at 107.4kgs at my first weight watchers meeting. I have lost 30.2kgs since then. After 12months, 18 kilos & a 6wk platue i joined the gym (again!) and my husband introducted me to his Personal Trainer friend.
Well this man, became my new best friend!! Lol! I went on to loose another 12.5kgs with him in 3 months. He kept me inspired and motivated & the support i have received of both him and a few good friends + family has brought me to where i am at today.

Its been a long journey full of blood, sweat & tears, but every single day i have learnt something new and i have learnt to believe in myself. My ultimate goal to be fit and maintain a healthy weight.

I have 10kilos to loose and i have ever intention on giving it my all to get to were i want to be! So i intend on blogging my way through the rest of my journey (& life!) to keep me honest and driven.

Trust me when i say ... I got this!! ;)
