INTRO Hello from Wales!

[BigGwyn]

Hi all,

I just wanted to say hello and provide a quick intro to myself. I’m Gwyn and I live in South Wales not far from Cardiff.

I’ve been big (tall) all my life, and since the age of about 16 I’ve also struggled with my weight (making me big that way too!).

I’ve tried diets (Slimming World, Calorie Counting, Ketogenic Diet) over the years and has some success with Keto and Intermittent Fasting in 2018/9 where I managed to lose about 100 pounds and was in the best shape of my life since my late teens. Unfortunately life got in the way then with a holiday and then we were in 2020 and we all remember what happened then! With lockdown and other factors I managed to put about 50 pounds back on.

I’ve come here to hopefully learn about GLP-1 and what to look for/avoid, advice and hopefully support in taking on the journey which I still hope results in me reaching my goal weight and helping me stay there permanently.

I have a goal weight and a date to reach that goal in mind and I hope, with a little chemical encouragement, that I will finally reach it.

All the best, Gwyn.

That’s such an incredible journey. Lost 100 pounds with intermittent fasting and keto. I can only imagine what your motivation and discipline combined with Reta is going to do for you!

Welcome aboard.

Hi Gwyn, my Gran (Gu) lived just outside Caerphilly. Happy times visiting her, although the hill that she lived on would actually kill me if I tried to walk up it today!

Good luck on your journey.
