If you've lost less than 10% this year you're beating the market. This is by far the toughest start to a year I can recall.
Please remember to take the time to look after your physical and mental health during these tough times. Recent research I have read suggests that even a brief 20 minute walk in nature makes a meaningful difference to your physical and mental health.
I am trying to get four to five 45 minute walks a week through and around a local park and feeling a lot better for it. Lost 3 kg's this month doing it and eating healthier...only another 20 kg's to go lol
