It's been just over 2 years since the 1st post on here. Good progress, lost 20kg in weight, blood sugar levels now in non diabetic range, triglycerides way way lower, HDL good and all HDL ratios in the excellent range, BP excellent. Mobility improved, lost some strength but cardio and strength relative to body mass much improved, RHR 48, body composition looks like it did in my mid 20s, joint and tendon pain hugely diminished. Anyone who doesn't think diet and exercise wont; make a massive difference really needs to try it. Well worth the results. You don't need a gym membership and you soon get used to the diet change. Go for it.

Thank you,
It’s such a relief (been to the hospital 5 times in 2 months)
Going to take it easy today, hopefully going to the gym tomorrow morning before work & maybe a run at the weekend, if it’s nice I might even get my road bike out,
