Just posting to say g'day, and to make myself accountable to this journey. It started with minor surgery on 12 July for elbow OA. When I stepped on the scales at pre-op, it was a watershed moment. I shed tears. The nurse was lovely about it, but I was so embarrassed.

I had further planned surgery on 13 August, and under medical supervision, went for a diet of 1200-1400 calories a day to prepare. I've made a massive effort in drinking water, and found 16:8 fasting has helped. As well as logging on MFP.

I head back to GP in a couple of weeks, and we'll look at increasing calories and introducing mild exercise to moderate the weight loss.

So there it is. Just 40 more kilos in 12 months... I can do this.

    Welcome to the community! <3

    If you haven't already, read the stickies at the top of the getting started forum. Very informative and helpful.

    Good luck with your doctor's appointment and healing process. One day at a time.
