I am originally from the UK but have been in America for 6yrs. I am married with two children. I have been studying for the last 1.5yrs and with that I have gained many pounds! I recently took the NY Bar Exam and feel as if I might as well have eaten the text books, the scales certainly appear that way. Back in the UK, I lost over 45lbs exercising daily and following a strict diet, however, I have never managed to get rid of my post-pregnancy weight here in the states. I have adopted the US portion size quite happily, as well as a more sedentary lifestyle. Well, I am so glad I found you guys! I list my food intake each day and feel as though I have found an ali in my quest to get my old self back.

Glad to be here and look forward to chatting with some of you guys later.
