The journey has begun. Today I joined a gym and bought some clothes to train in. I want to slim down and prevent the risk of type 2 diabetes. I thought I’d start a thread for my journey and start posting about the journey. Hopefully it will see an improvement in my mental health too due to all those feel good chemicals.
So, this is Day 1... I’m nervous but excited at the same time.

@Bunniekins, I don't know if the shakes are different for males and females. I have seen the protein bars that are like that. I like the protein bars to.

@Gazza75 yes the shakes have a low sugar content which is good. I bought my mum banana flavoured one for her birthday.
