Morning everyone. I'm new. I want to lose 2st 4lb.

[flowerpower66]

I love cake, chocolate etc and so this is going to be tough but it is time to be truthful to myself. I can't believe I let myself get this overweight. I might be a bit whingey/needy to start so all help and advice will be great fully received. So far I have had cornflakes and I have 822 calories left for the day. Ive chosen to lose 1 1/2 lbs per week. Excited and terrified!. Good luck everyone.x

Hi Flowerpower66,

Have you looked at the NHS website for the weight loss plan - 12 week structured plan. It's really good and has lots of helpful advice and tips.

Hope you are having a good day so far. Good luck with the weight loss.

Hi Sarah, I too suffer from depression. I have been really anaemic and vitamin d deficient. Go for it girl!! honestly the myfitnesspal app is brilliant as I haven't got a clue about what calories are in what and it counts down how many calories are available as you put in what you have eaten. I've never had weight problems before but through depression etc I have. Put. On over 2 stone!!.xx good luck, you can do it, I can do it! Looking forward to a nice fit size 10 jeans!.xxx

I would love to do zumba. I decided a week ago that I was going to do this and ate everything I wanted in the knowledge that it started today. Got my week 1 of the NHS food and activity week on the fridge. So funny a minute ago as my daughter appeared with a box of hand weights and she and I were doing exercising in the kitchen and my husband was doing weights in the garden. My dogs kept trying to grab our girly weights, well I suppose they do look like bones? I have 828 calories left to use today so quite pleased that I can have a decent dinner.x enjoy zumba.x

Hi Sarah how did zumba go and how are you getting on?.x
