Well done for getting it down. It’s tough to do, as all the fun stuff makes it go up.

It’s not been too bad (helped by my giving up booze a long time ago), I was just able to start cooking for myself. I had cut down sugar, red meat and UPF but I’ve been able to do that more without it being a hardship. I am not down to the weight or probably the fitness leveI was 5ish years ago (before a bought of illness) but, factoring in a bit of Christmas weight gain, I have lost 12kgs since this time last year, which has really helped and I noticed I have not only gone down a size in clothing but now need slim fit (so I may have more muscle mass this time around). However, we’ll see what my numbers look like in a few months.

It’s funny, when the subject comes up, you do end up comparing numbers. Everyone I’ve talked to about this has been telling me theirs haha.

I think at “a certain age” they start giving routine blood tests and these days you get a handy print-out for further study.
