@MorrisZapp I had to ask for them to be removed as I stupidly left the reel of pics along the bottom showing with other family members on. Will repost them.

@orangegato Jan to Oct I used Saxenda alongside calorie counting which really helped. Since October it has just been an absolute determination to be healthy, fit and strong as I get older that has kept me going - I'm 52 my weight was affecting my mobility which worried me.

FatAgainItsLettuceTime · 22/04/2023 18:24

Wonderful, wonderful results, you've done so well.

As someone with a similar amount to lose, do you have any tips, especially about skin. I am very worried about what my arms, thighs and belly will look like without all the fat.

Bookaholic73 · 22/04/2023 18:26

Wow, you look amazing! Well done to you.
Any tips for me, just starting out calorie counting with 25lbs to go?
