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.

Well done @Bunniekins ! 🙂
I'm not having any luck with my weight. I haven't put any on for a while, but, I haven't seen any positive signs either. It's pretty frustrating all in all.

@Bunniekins That’s awesome for you 😊
I had a big week of walking last week in the Blue Mountains but I also probably ate too much 😂

@Ant7 Hey Ant7 was thinking of you on your holiday. Trudging up and down the mountains and visiting coffee shops in Leura and antique shops in Wentworth Falls :).. I hope you and your wife had a lovely time and the weather behaved itself for you both.x
