: Hi my name is Jennie, I’m 35yrs old 5’3″ and once weighed 25st 7lbs. I have just recently moved to Norfolk with my Husband (Steve), 4yr old Son (Horatio) who has just started school. 3dogs ( Huggy, Mardy, Norbit) they are all varying sizes of cocker spaniels and 1 horse -which has just become 1.5 horses with the addition of a minature shetland- (Nas and Spirit).

We moved up from Essex because we found our ideal home, stables and grazing and within walking distance of a nice primary school. I love my family and feel very blessed to have them all in my life.

As a child I use to dream about horses and riding, one day that dream came true when i was given a little Shetland on my 9th birthday. he was Mr Tibbs and was the beginning of my love affair with anything equine.

I eventually gave up riding when I was about 18 and just about to move in with my boyfriend, over the years i tried to take it back up but money was initially an issue and eventually the issue then became my weight.

Over the past 20yrs my weight has gone up to 17stone… down to 12stone…up to 24stone… down to 15stone… up to 25stone 7lbs… it is finally coming down slowly but surely and I am currently around 22stone.

This is my Journey to finally losing weight and fulfilling my dream of becoming a rider again.
