Just needed to say this is the first time I've joined anything like this network that supports weightloss. I'm a 71 year old women and started my committed weightloss journey at 13st 9Lb back on the 22 June 2022. I am doing intermittent fasting and calorie counting in a Clever Fox food diary, and it seems to be working slowly. As of a wegh in today I am 12st 1lb. I have been very fit and active my entire life up until a diagnosis of quite severe fibromyalgia 5 years ago. I walk, stretch and do what I'm able on a day to day basis. I do not take the meds as they cause bad side effects including obesity. However in my prime I was 9st and that seems a long way off. When I hit 14st I started 15/9 intermittent fasting, then in June 22 decided enough was enough. I don't need to be 9st. But I would like to be a size 10 or 12 dress size. I've gone from a size 18 to a 14. On the whole I'm pleased, but there are days when I could do with a bit of support. I am however beginning to like what I look like again. So I'm looking forward to learning how the network works and hopefully be a part of it fully. Xx

Thank you. I will have a good look around first as it does seem a bit overwhelming. I'm sure it will all be clear soon, but thank you for the warm welcome.
