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 Yes they are nice and crunchie and juicy. My dear belated Pop used to grow vegies and I was the only one in the family who liked butter beans, so he grew them especially for me. I do like them cooked too (unlike carrots) but prefer them raw and they are better for you raw.
