And I'm delighted. For the first time in my adult life (now 47) I'm not obese. It's a very odd feeling. Onwards to a healthy BMI!

Thank you. My highest weight was BMI 61 so I'm very chuffed!

Amazing! Congratulations 🥳
how did you do it?

High protein, low carb, and upped the walking. I had a sleeve gastrectomy 12 years ago and lost 13st in a year, but four children later I had regained 9st! Last July I was 19st and I've lost just over 6st since then to get into an OW BMI. I can feel that I'm going to get to a healthy BMI this time, I don't know why. Possibly because we're definitely not having any more children and I have my body back after 8 years of babies and breastfeeding!
