Oh yeah, more than I care to think about 🙂

I remain eternally at the start of the process. I’ve never lost an appreciable amount of weight and likely never will. I was just a bit dismayed that my latest, most committed and sustained effort had the same result as all my previous half-hearted attempts and wondered if anyone had any perspective on admitting to oneself…

Thank you all for your help

I also have a consultation booked with a dietician, I’ll keep you posted on my progress.

That’s really inspiring, thanks!

I've not been a big protein eater in the past but I'm making good progress widening my food vocabulary. Protein shakes have been a big help as I'm mindful of not losing muscle mass. Got a new gym membership so…

Great idea, thanks everyone. I'm looking forward to the day I do notice a difference and can downsize some clothes.
