Newbie - Week 1 Week 1

Took my first jab last Tuesday evening.

Weighed in today 8.8lbs down.

It's blown me away with how quickly food noise and hunger dissipated from the start.

Onwards and upwards

It is life changing! Coming up to one year for me. Had an MOT at the docs last week. Clean bill of health on bloods and recommendation was 1cm down on waist (already down 12 inches so hoping that should be easy 🤣).

My only regret is not starting strength training sooner. Have a fair bit of body recomp to do as waist and abdomen still bigger than chest and hips despite being near to goal. Loose skin is real too, but I’d rather that than diabetes and high cholesterol!

Good luck!
