Introduction

I'm 65, retired and I was recently diagnosed with 'prediabetes' from a raised HbA1C blood test. I knew I was about 30% overweight and in the BMI 'obese' category. Not a good look. I have been on a weight loss journey since February 2023 and am pulling out all the stops. I joined Slimming World for some real world encouragement, accountability and support. I am half way towards my target weight and since my diagnosis I have been following a Keto diet with the support of a Nutritionist. On the Keto diet it's all about the macronutrient balance and I'm particularly happy to see how easy it is to keep track of that in MyFitnessPal. Looking forward to reaching my target weight and transitioning to a 'rest of life' diet plan, Keto or otherwise.
