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.

@TAB @Queenie @Appleblossom @Gazza75 @Ant7 @Meowmy Hi everyone well I ate a super delicious healthy meal yesterday so am feeling very virtuous this morning. Drinking tones of water (well that is an exaggeration but more than have in the past :)). Wont go for walk today as neighbour is with family and I dont like walking alone as I felt dizzy last time I did that due to humidity which is high here atm. Have a great day everyone. Love peaxxx

This is my first post on here
Thanks @Bunniekins for letting me know about This post.
Hi @Queenie @Meowmy @TAB @Appleblossom @Bunniekins I look forward to getting a lot of help and ideas on hear as if I'm determined to get myself in a reasonable healthy state in 2020 for my age as I use to be fit and healthy before my daughter left but then I let myself go missed her too much and just walking a little distance I'm out of breath.
Need to change my mindset first with my agraphobia and social anxiety, is my biggest hurdles

@saturnzoon I remember reading about a woman who did laps around her small backyard before she moved onto walking outside. That might be something for you to consider and and @TAB said just check with the doctor first.::)
