Read this amazing story of a young man who halved his body weight in 11 months as he had symptoms that he thought were pre diabetes.

Now THAT is what I call weight loss. Good lad!

What a difference in such a short space of time! :shock:

Very impressive Catherine, he really is half the man he used to be

That's a really inspiring story, Catherine. I think I'll get back on the treadmill now after I've dusted it :wink:

****! I thought I did reasonably well to lose 40% in 13 months, that guy has done amazingly well.

I've stayed mostly stable in the 3+ years since, but have put on a few pounds over 3 holidays this summer - this story has now inspired me to put my walking boots on and head out the door now for a good brisk walk.

See you in 10 miles or so, I think.

Editted to add:

In fact, managed 11.3 miles, according to my GPS. Involved 2 x 330ft climbs too.
