Thanks for the replies and the private message to which I cannot respond as I have not posted enough messages - yet.
I am in North Essex and am getting to Oa Meetings - harlow Station is long way from me - my nearest station is Kelvedon, though I normally travel by train from Witham.
Fortunately my weight is reducing - a good few new holes in my belt - to make it tighter.
I am now asking to have my weight recorded by my Doctor's nurse when I have my INR taken - fortunately that is pretty stable now, so will not be going back till September.
It was 159 kgs - which I calculate at 25 stone 1lb - about ten days ago.
That was a pleasant surprise.
I am moving more but at 67 - I am just too damn tired.
However, I feel as if progress is possible
