Don't worry George they won't be there soon 👍

[EllaMidlands]

Well done for going and for posting. You have taken a really important step and you can do this! I am glad you are smiling in your photo. It's going to take time as the weight didn't come in over night but you will see progress in a short time. Good luck!!

[George56 in reply to EllaMidlands]

Hi Ella it has been a long haul. 2009. I have a wee Yorkshire Terrier called Angus. A lovely family & my youngest daughter is on my case!!! G

[EllaMidlands in reply to George56]

Get Angus ready for some extra walking!

[George56 in reply to EllaMidlands]

I can not get out without him tagging along. But it's more exercise now. Kind regards George.

your youngest daughter sounds lovely, lucky you. I play Tibetan mountain drum music for home yoga, lots of webpages online, Dum Dee Dum, as you move your leg, shoulder and arm joints 🌼

[George56 in reply to YellowRose55]

Thank-you Yellow Rose. I'm looking forward to being able to get out for a wee bit of exercise. My wife got me some weights for chair exercise. G

Very brave of you to post a picture looking extreamly happy I might add.

I know of a gentleman who was over 30st and bed bound practically, he started to change his lifestyle with no help other than his wife and he has lost 12.5 stone, amazing! now he can go out, drive and looks fab.

Together we can all help each other to achieve our goals

Good Luck George you have the power to change you. 😊👍

[George56 in reply to Itsbab]

Thanks . I was 33st at one point. The gentleman who lost all the weight did really well. G

[Itsbab in reply to George56]

He did do well but I think it got to the point that was desperate to be honest, his wife changed her lifestyle too and upto present has lost 6st, it's amazing what you can do with support.

Well done to you too for loosing nearly 3st already that's brilliant and I wish you all the luck in the world to loose even more.

Just come onto the forum if you need support or advice there are so many lovely people on here to support us all.

Conversely, we used to visit my partner's parents who last lived in Ellon (unfortunately their dead now) and in late summer this year we're staying in Stonehaven for a folk festival to meet up with her sister.

Hi George, good wishes, and calm days, for a good week, as you work through your daily allowances, it's my 4th week, doing same as you, I have 5 stone to lose, I'm not good with photos yet 👋 😊

[George56]

Hi there I hope to lose 5st.that would take me back to my year 2001 weight. I used to do a lot of swimming & my job was active & healthy. I was in a rambling group. Just lost a lot of my confidence in the past few years. I have good support now & that is going to be very helpful. I also wish you all the best for the future. Kind regards George.
