Mary's journey

July, 2022 Lobbying to join Limbo
First step, get access to the programme! July 22 start date. Then known as "VIV" before it rebranded as Limbo.
A wise man once told me to own the problem, and so I did! After stalking @Patphelan to get access to @vivpowered I got to join VIV in July 28 days later I am happy to report it has become an integral part of my life It's only the beginning of my 'journey' but so far so fine! 1/3

Progress with energy and weight loss is already visible – 8kg so far.
It's been a drama free month, @VIVpowered simply prompts and keeps me honest, no exclusions and no group therapy! The app tracks data about how my body reacts to certain foods which enables me to make better choices. I haven't felt restricted at all. 2/3

15.4kg down from initial weight.
Love being part of @LimboRevolution today I am 15.4kg ⬇️ (yes the .4 does matter 😉) it has been, dare I say 'easy' or at least 'not hard' it's all about awareness and education with no negative impact on lifestyle. I am in no rush to be 'off Limbo' excited for the months ahead!
