I'm 35, and once upon a time, pre-kids, I trained every single day. Running, cycling, cardio, I always loved sport and never needed convincing to move. Then I had my first baby, and apparently my body decided 30 extra kilos was a lovely souvenir to keep. Turns out they don't just fall off because you ask nicely.

Then came baby number two, plus complications and swelling that made "just pop to the shops" feel like an Olympic event. My kids are 5 and 3 now, thriving, chaotic, and blissfully unaware of the two years I spent in the trenches with postnatal depression and postnatal anxiety. Not my finest era. But I clawed my way out the other side, and I'm ready to get back to being me, best version and all.

These days I'm putting my money where my mouth is, I'm CIMSPA qualified in Group Training, and currently working through a BSc Honours degree in Sport, Fitness and Coaching with the Open University, so this isn't just enthusiasm, there's proper learning behind it too.

Here's the thing though: we're always looking at someone who's already lost the weight, sighing, and thinking "how." So we've decided to start this exactly where we actually are, overweight, unfiltered, on camera, showing you the whole thing from the real beginning, not the finished result. If we can do it out loud, so can you.
