40 years old - two children, aged 15 and 5.
Suffer various medical conditions which I take medication for and which all apparently cause weight gain.
Stopped smoking 18 months ago and gained 10kgs in one month.
Started Tim Noakes banting in April 2014 and lost 5kgs of the 10kgs I had gained in the first month, and then nothing for a whole year after.
It is now April 2015 and I still weigh 65kgs with my goal weight is 60kgs. My height is 1.64.
I have also started spinning recently - I do 20kms a day - very strenuously. I occasionally walk during my lunch break and do housework.
I am peri-menopausal and don't know whether I am fighting a losing battle, but giving it the best I've got!
