Well done! What a great inspiration you are!:flowerforyou:

This is the first time I've focussed on diet AND exercise together and it's also the first time I've had any real success in losing weight. In terms of exercise, a mix of cardio and strength is good and I try to do something at least 6 times per week, even if it is just going for a walk after dinner. If I don't drink…

Good for you being able to laugh at that guy. He must have zero self esteem. Keep up the good work and remember to point him out to the gym managers next time you see him - I hope he gets barred!

I feel so good and for the first time in years, happy that I'm taking control. Hope the socket gets better soon :-)

I haven't heard of that before. I rather like the idea of being a tall poppy :-)
