(as the patient),

I'd like to thank Ms Parkin in the Community Dietetics team again for her support. Everything is continuing to go extremely well, even though it's often tough and I miss some of my favourite foods and the ability to just eat and drink what I fancy and when I want it.

From 25st 1lb on in September, I'm now down to 20st 7lbs. My dress size has changed from 36 to 28. I still have a long way to go, but I'll get there. I have even bought a pair of trainers for the first time in about 30 years, and I have taken out a gym membership, doing a little workout a couple of times a week and aiming to increase any type of activity I want to do when I feel I can cope with it. My blood pressure has gone from quite high to normal, and breathing is getting a lot easier.

Thank you for this comment and for an update on your progress. I am pleased to hear that you have implemented the changes that were discussed and as a result of these have been successful with your weight loss, and also seen a reduction in your blood pressure and enabled you to find breathing easier.

I hope that this weight loss has given you the motivation and encouragement to continue with your new healthy lifestyle. I also recall at your consultation that physical activity was not something you either particiapted in or enjoyed, so the fact that you have now purchased some trainers and joined a gym is encouraging to hear.

Once again, well done with improving your lifestlye and good luck with continuing with this in the furtire.
