Sorry can’t agree about panettone! We splash out on Carluccios ones, has a nice crunchy top, (literally just ordered this years), v yummy either with or without marmalade (our Anglo-Italian twist!)

🎉 Hi!! Have you found any patient organisations for obesity here?

Thanks will give that a go as well, starting to get there and finding some new people along the way 🙂

@drsdeg.bsky.social Found you 🙂

Thank you - found some starter packs and some more people, so getting there bit by bit. Loving the help here for us newbies 🙂.

Just to say thanks again - really helpful guide and I also found a starter pack on obesity research via the directory link in the article 🙂. Thanks @jackmbirch.bsky.social for doing that starter pack!

Thanks, will do, hope to gradually find my way - at the moment it is pretty much luck and guesswork 😂

Thank you! 🙂
