Hello all, I need some help in reducing my weight. I need someone's help. I need a motivator. I am feeling left out from this world. 😊

Hello Sanjaypeekay! Welcome to the forum. Regarding weight loss - have you checked out the NHS Weight Loss community? I'm not so good with adding links, but you can find it if you go up to the top of the screen under 'my hub'.

Loosing weight takes so much determination and dedication. Its tough at times. You gotta focus, but you can do it.

I don't know if you have started the c25k run program, if your doctor has said that it is okay for you to do a little running then welcome along for the run. If you are not ready yet then walk instead until thou are ready to run. Either way write posts on here, tell us all what's going on in your weight loss and walking or running life and you will get support and make new friends.

Good Luck!

As I understand it comments in this forum can't be reached by search engines, Sankey, if thats what you mean. Also you can change your name to something really anonymous at any time.

It sounds like you've got a lot of stuff going on with starting university. Don't worry too much about feeling a bit lost at first. It is normal and so is feeling a bit lonely and home sick.

Welcome to the programme - this is a friendly and supportive group.

That's great information. To be honest I am not too social. Very a lot off stuff going on. I need to to do renrollment for university, home sick, worried about future. Got very less friends circle. Life feels hard. But I want to change my lifestyle and I am sure my quality of life will be increased. I am not able to do things. This program will help me I feel. Thank you for your understanding. I feel you are like a doctor. I will begin my journey. Thanks again for your support

I was terribly home sick and isolated in my first year at university. But by the end I was very happy and I'm still friends with a few of the people I met there - that was 40 years ago. 😊

No, my understanding that posts and replies on here, stay on here (a bit like Vegas).

Also anything you post on c25k are available to the c25k followers only and anything you post on NHS Weight Loss are viewed by people on the NHS Weight Loss program only. So, to put it another way, if you were writting about how great your last run was on c25k then the people on NHS Weight Loss would not be able to read it and vice versa.

Lots of people on here do not post anywhere else. Me too, I'm not interested in Facebook or twitter etc etc.

Hello, just thinking, many universities do C25K through the student union or sports centres. It could be a good way of meeting new people if you wanted to. Whatever you decide, you will get a lot of support from people on this forum. Welcome 😊
