Cheers Lewis. Some good advice. I had started on the exercise about 4 weeks before the hospital visit as the belly and lack of fitness were a bigger kick up the arse than a hosiptal visit!! Small but steady weight losses so far but I’m pleased as there are good signs that fitness is improving. I didn’t really post about it as to be honest I was a bit embarrassed about it and also I had the ‘what if i fail’ mentality. In a couple of months I’ll post an update on what I’m doing and what the progress has been.
