Well as you've probably guessed, my name isn't Jemima, but for the sake of Blog-Land, that is the name I will be known as.
I used to work for a weightloss clinic and have helped many people to lose pounds, stones of weight. One of my clients lost nearly 50% of her bodyweight, starting the program at 21 stone and shrinking down to just under 11 stone.
So it may come as bit of surprise to you all to know that I am currently 7 stone overweight and I have a BMI of 38.4. On the majority of height weight comparison charts that puts me in the severely obese category and therefore at a high risk of developing diseases associated with obesity such as heart disease and diabetes, knocking an average of 7 years off my life.
I'm not stupid, I know that I need to lose weight, but as any dieter knows, it's really wanting to make the change that is important.
Well I really want to make the change, NOW!
Jem.
