I wanted to post this pic that shows me as I didn't want to see myself at my highest weight and lowest self-confidence last Christmas. It's a picture I truly hate but I keep going back to it, as it was my wake-up call to start taking responsibility for myself, and from the next day I began the journey I'm still on. Getting there... but not quite reached my target! I want anyone who is starting out with the same mind set I had... I can't, I don't want to, it's too much... to realise that one day at a time you really CAN make a change. It's not easy but with enough motivation and determination and support, it's not impossible.

Saw this post after the other picture (current) - even more gobsmacked at what you have achieved. Your joints are probably thanking you as well - utterly briliant, well done! Now I want to be like you.

Thank you! Still got some aches and pains after a lifetime of over-indulgence but doesn't stop me getting out and about more than I ever did before. The results are well worth the bit of discomfort x
