Hello Hidden 😊 Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum. It’s great that you’ve joined. We are a friendly bunch! 😊

First place to look is at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a mobile) and have a look at the Welcome Newbies thread.😊 there is lots of info here, and links to the nhs12 week plan and also for checking your BMR and target calories 😊 it's important to eat enough so you don't get hungry or feel deprived 😊

Eating less is much more important than exercise when it come to weight loss, but regular movement will help your joints 😊 Just 5 or 10 minutes several times a day is good 😊

If you feel confident then join us for the Monday Group weigh-in. If you follow Lowcal and Moreless (our very approachable site Admins), you'll be notified when they post the threads. The latest weigh-in thread can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page. 😊

Be active on the forum, as that's where we exchange ideas and get our daily dose of motivation and inspiration.😊

Enjoy the forum, good luck and best wishes 😊

Hi Anna,

You might have confused Hidden a little bit with your Welcome message, as you've welcomed her to the NHS weight loss forum, and not the Healthy eating one!

At least she'll know what's going on in NHS weight loss if she wants to take a look...! :-)

So sorry to hear that . Hemp oil is really good for arthritis and you can also use gelatine buy the powder . A teaspoon with water or juice every day you will find the arthritis pain will eventually subside its work in cushioning your joints
