Hi everyone,

I thought I'd drop in, say hi, and give a short introduction about myself. My name is Gwyn, and I'm based in South Wales, close to Cardiff.

Being big has always been part of my story in the tall sense, and from around 16 onward my weight became a struggle too, so big applies in that way as well.

Over the years I've given diets a go (Slimming World, Calorie Counting, Ketogenic Diet), and during 2018/9 Keto plus Intermittent Fasting brought some success: I dropped roughly 100 pounds and felt I was in the best shape since my late teens. Then life intervened, a holiday came along, and before long it was 2020 and we all know what that period was like. Lockdown and other things led me to regain around 50 pounds.

My reason for joining is to hopefully pick up knowledge about GLP-1, including what to look for and what to avoid, along with advice and hopefully support as I take on this journey. My hope is still that it ends with me hitting my goal weight and keeping it there for good.

I have a goal weight and a target date in mind, and I hope that with a little chemical encouragement I'll finally get there.

All the best, Gwyn.
 
Aboard at last, Gwyn - welcome! Things are about to turn around for you on Reta, so hold on tight, because the ride is a good one! A few weeks from now, answering to SlimGwyn may be your new normal - this stuff genuinely delivers!!!

What an amazing path you've taken. Dropping 100 pounds through intermittent fasting and keto is no small feat. With Reta added to that same drive and self-control, I can't wait to see where you go from here!

Glad to have you with us.

Hey Gwyn, my Gran (Gu) used to stay just outside Caerphilly. I have fond memories of going to see her, but that hill by her place would honestly finish me off if I attempted to climb it now! 😱

Wishing you all the best on your journey.
