5 ft 2 (well, 1 and a half if we're being precise) and currently 11 st 12lb … which is, for my height, a good few pounds into the obese category.

Sadly, I've had ME for the past 3 and a half years, and over that time have put on 3 and a half stones. I have been getting better for a good 18 months now, and have been feeling much more like my usual self for the last few months. Still have to take it easy, but at least I get to live a lot now too.

My hope is to follow the Fast800 Michael Mosely way of eating; fitting in exercise - most likely walking the dog, but aiming to add in something else a bit more energetic when possible.

From round to … less round. That's what I'm after.
