Introduction Text I have lost weight. I have said no to things, I have walked my dog at least twice a day. I haven't been perfect but I haven't beaten myself up for detours from the path. From a place where I wore "unisex" coats in 3XL and wouldn't go to a pool I have a pink mac and have gone through four sizes of "cozzie" at my aquafit class. From a BP reading (pre treatment) of 225/125 to 106/68 and from a fasting glucose which indicated type 2 diabetes to HbA1c of 5. Something is going right, and I'm happy with that!

To achieve a "healthy BMI" To wear knee high leather boots in winter To go to the doctors without being told the problems are weight related To encourage other people without making them feel inadequate

Based loosely on the 80s WW programme, protein with every meal, limited fats and carbs, unlimited veg and fruit. I don't eat dairy or nuts so will never be a vegetarian but have meat free days following overindulgence. Drinking 2 litres of water a day has been an education

Married to himself for 37 years. We have retired to Kent, UK and our son lives in America. We are always on the go, travel and visiting friends/family .

A year of Sparking has created a self confidence I had hidden with bravado and fat for many years. I have learned it isn't too late to change and be renewed.
