Hiya,

Im 38 and a Mum to three active, sporty, imaginative youngsters (DD13, DS 9 and DS 7).
I live with my DH in a small country town in south-west Victoria Australia. We were both born in Scotland and before I had a family of my own I trained as a Nanny and travelled and worked in Britain.

I am a fully qualified, registered fitness professional and run my own business "FitNuf" , conducting a variety of fitness classes and a 'boot camp' as well as developing personal programs for people.

I turned my life around after deciding on the 18th Dec 2006 that 2007 was not to be another 'fat year'. I was 75kgs in 2006 at my heaviest point ( I am only 5' 1" so that is borderline obese). I now weigh 53kilo and am comfortable in a size 8 ( I was size 16). I did it all myself at home following exercise and diet programs which I developed .

I am now offering a start-up program TOTALLY free ; http://health.groups.yahoo.com/group/fitnuf_rainbow/ come and try it out there is a weekly class, assignments and simple program to follow- get started and get healthy! There is something in the group for everyone!

You can see more about my fitness story at ; http://fitnuf.tripod.com.

I am also trained in Horticulture and Psychology and worked as a counsellor for several years.

I love my family and think Minti is a brilliant resource for parents. I hope some of the articles I have written here help others with similar experiences.

Cheers

Anji x
