My name is Bev and I am 43(21 in my head)and married with 4 children, I have two stepchildren aged 28 and 26 and two of my own aged 24 and 22.

I am a Civil Servant based in an Army camp in Tidworth (UK). I actually sit at a desk all day. I do try and get up and walk about a fair bit but we are only in a small building.

The reason I decided to lose weight is because my mam bought me a really nice long dressing gown for Christmas, I put it on and as I walked past the mirror I caught sight of my profile, I looked like a Weeble. It was at that point that I thought to myself "I really need to lose weight" that was on the 1st Jan and since then I have just stuck to my diet only falling off the wagon every now and then.

I eat fish and steamed rice as much as I can with loads of veggies and I go to the gym three times a week. I swim when I can and do Wii fit. I would not say I was a fit person but I am by no means unfit. I am 5ft 9inches tall and luckily for me that hides most of my weight.

I love reading, eating and Geocaching.
