Hi, hope you don't mind me gate crashing but was just browsing current threads and came across this.
Saw your post about the gym and just wanted to say well done and stick at it, I was 16st 5lb when I joined the gym and could barely run for 30 seconds, like you I had a personal training session and for me, things like my body fat % were quite scary. Anyway I've stuck at it, in Jan, when I was 15st I joined a Kettlebells class and actually thought I might die, it was sooo hard to begin with, but now I'm probably the strongest female in the class and often get people accusing me of being fit, which just feels so funny to me, especially as I'm still a good 3 stone heavier than most of them at 13stone.
I really recommend trying some classes as they really do make you push past your comfort zone, I do 2 classes and a gym session per week on a normal week, and this week I'm off work so am doing a lot more (7 classes in 5 days, which this time last year I could just not have envisioned)
If you do get into the gym more you might want to look at possibly switching slim fast to a different meal replacement shake which is higher in protein and lower in sugar, there's lots online from Companies who sell protein shakes etc
Anyway just wanted to say good luck, you'll get there
