Good Luck!! hope everything goes to plan! Just stay motivated and keep on going, i know its easier to give advice than take it but just imagine the benefits. I genuinely hope everything goes well and you manage to meet your goal just stay strong and if you slip up don't think of it as the end of the world just get right back on the right path !! All the best!

Are you on steroids? They don't help with the weight loss. You should be getting a lot of help from your health professionals. I agree with all the others.

[Snoopy60]

I'm not at steroids so it's not that. What I can't understand is that none if the departments I visit, diabetes centre., rheumatology and cardiology have ever said anything about my very obvious weight problem or offered any help or advice
