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.

@Meowmy @TAB Meowmy you are right. These meds make me eat too much at the best of times but at this time of year is worse. Instead of eating I will drink water :). Water is meant to raise your metabolism.:):) and I am going to drink 4 cups of coffee a day even though @Gazza75 won't be impressed until I have lost some weight 🙂
