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.

Good morning @TAB @Queenie @Appleblossom @Meowmy @Scarecrowe @Ant7 have just come back from my walk with neighbour. Saw some very dodgy people while we were out this morning ..... normally nobody at all. So we walked on the side of the main road. Ate porridge with sultanas again with almond milk drinking loads of water and had my usual 3 black coffees.Will go for another walk today with support worker and then do some gardening :D. What has everyone else got on their agenda?xx
