All she needs to make life complete is a baby. She'll do anything to lose weight and become a mother...just as soon as the Tim Tams are finished. Ellie's life looks perfect on Facebook.

Her ever-increasing waistline is testimony to just how small Ellie's life has become. Kat's baby is her world. As a Bosnian refugee, she wants nothing more than a stable, happy life for Ami, but Kat's relationship with Ami's dad is collapsing. If she could just lose the 'baby weight' maybe Josh would look at her the way he used to. When Mezz, Jewels, Ellie and Kat meet in an online weight-loss forum, a common goal accelerates their friendship.
