Welcome to my personal web site!

Hello, I'm Jo :-)
This is the place where I share my weight loss adventure with you all!
You will also learn all about me: my interests and hobbies, the people in my family,and more. I've included a list of my favorite links to other sites.


Do contact me with any questions/suggestion you might have, just click on the 'Contact Me' link (remember to send me your e-mail address if you want me to reply, I wanted to reply/thank some of you but did not know your address, it does not appear automatically on your message like it usually happens with e-mails).
Thank you :-)

What's new?

This is the first web-site I ever attempt to run so please bear with me while I try to make it 'grow'and keep it nice ;-)
Keep checking this space on my homepage where I will tell you when I last updated my site (that way you'll know straight away if there's anything new since you last visited). Thank you for being patient :-)

LAST UPDATED ON 13th APRIL 2004:
Sorry I haven't updated in AGES!
I am now 2 years and 8 months post-operation and I have reached the weight of 63 kgs or approximately 138 lbs! I have gone from a BMI of 41 down to a BMI of 22!!
I can say that I am at goal now, deep down I want to be 'greedy' and wish to go down another few pounds to a BMI of 20 just so that I feel 'safe' that if sometimes I put a little bit of weight on then I am still within a nice range and can get back down without being in a 'panicky' state.  Having said that, if I don't lose anymore weight I am perfectly happy as I am, ALL my health problems have VANISHED completely! I am SO happy!

This is Ronan when he was a kitten. He is a Chartreux cat who lives in England (not with me unfortunately). I just LOVE cats! Find some 'cat links' in my links section :-)

The picture above is me. But I have to be honest here, I have been cheating! It is me in November 1995! At first when I had pounds and pounds of weigth to shed I felt too ashamed to put the real me on the front page, but I can happily say that now after losing ALL my excess weight I am now much slimmer than in this picture, in fact I'll have to scrap it for a new one ;-)
