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.

@Shaz51 she is inspirational lol. She is talking about going on weight watchers to just get a bit more weight off. She looks great though. I would love to have her marbles and be as fit as her at her age.
