Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: BLISS will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

My aim is to lose 4st 7lb within 9 months. I have enroled the help of the gym at The Dunkenhalgh Hotel & Spa and have also joined my local Slimming World group.

Of my 4 wonderfull children 3 of them are only here thanks to the wonderful support I received when they were born prematurely, my youngest son Curtis was born at 26 weeks weighing only 2lb. I also know the pain of having a child who did not survive a premature birth when my daughter Kayleigh was born at 25 weeks weighing 2lb and only lived for 14 hours.

I want so much to give something back to these wonderful people, without whom I would not have my precious family. So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Week 1 - Lost 3lb. Went to the gym 5 times, getting up at 6:00am each morning and doing an hour work-out (designed by Personal Fitness Trainer Kath) before starting work. In myself I have feel much better and I hope that the weight lose continues. The diet has been hard because I am always on the go and need to find some quick, easy 'sin-free' meals.

Week 2 - Found it difficult this week because I have had 2 meals out (1 leaving do and 1 birthday)  but I have lost 1lb which I suppose is better than nothing.

Week 3 - Lost 2lb. Happy with this because I have spent a couple of days at my mum's (one or two glasses of wine there) and also had a night out. Did go to the gym 4 times though so I think that helped.

Week 4 - Another 2lb off - Have a Universal Contour Body Wrap this week and lost a total of 9.75 inches from my body, not a bad start.

Week 5 - Only lost 1lb this week, I am a bit dissappointed but I will just have to try harder next week, think I need to step up the gym, I have started doing some weights, lets hope that works. Another body wrap tomorrow !!

Week 6 - Had a little 1lb gain this week but I have still kept up the gym and I wont get too disheartened just have to try harder next week. Body wrap went well though, I have lost a total of 14.5 inches so far.

Week 7 - Back on track, even with my birthday, an engagement, a leaving party and a wedding. Only 1lb lost but with the amount of alcohol consumed I am more than happy with that. I have stepped up the gym again and my sessions now last between 75 - 90 minutes.
