You look fabulous in your photo, a sincere well done to you. I've lost 2 and a half stone, but have been 'stuck' for almost 3 months. I assume because my steroids have increased, but no weight gain so I'm holding onto that.
A like joyful skip here....it’s so good when someone achieves something massive like that! What an amazing and inspirational thing to do. Huge congratulations. Bet it’ll be more fun to dance to Barry now!
Wow, look at you! A really very big well done E! Not losing it quickly made all the difference I would expect? You look really well on it & a whole new wardrobe needed, not to say helping health-wise, well you know what I mean. Yay!
Hope all's well otherwise & you have a lovely Christmas. The first is always that bit more reflective but hope you'll all get through it without too much sadness. x
Wow, what an amazing achievement! Many don’t realise that type 2 diabetes is reversible if action is taken quickly to make lifestyle changes. I hope others might be inspired by your example. You look so good in spite of RA etc.
I lived in York for 23 years after growing up in Scotland. At Christmas, I was surprised when visiting church friends, to be offered a slice of Christmas cake and a piece of Wensleydale with it. No icing etc on the cake either. All my four sons were born there too. One is back there, drives for Connexion buses.
Hi thanks all for your lovely comments. This xmas I just eat smaller portions but there will still be some fruit cake!! Will try to get back to bring more involved here. If any of you havent volunteered before I can guarantee it's such fun . So all have a great xmas and new year xxxx
