Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, it's free advice on how to lose weight. It's a good place to start for most people. You can download the information.

That does not tell you how to use THIS FORUM.

I started more than 2 weeks ago and have yet to discover how to use it profitably!

It's a place to post and ask questions. The search box top right is also useful when looking for a particular topic.

I use it for tips, support, recipes and sometimes a moan and sometimes just to tell other with similar issues if i have lost or gained. i have lost 10lb 4oz in 5 weeks so delighted. i read posts when feeling like falling off the wagon - hubbie and daughter sick of hearing that im back on a diet.

The forum is a great place to talk to people going through similar situations and hardships. The people here are very friendly and always willing to give support and advice. I agree with penel the 12 week plan is a great way to start, you can adapt it to your lifestyle and continue it in your own way after the 12 weeks of you still have more to do. Great to read other peoples stories can he really motivating

So am I, though not using the 600 kcal limit recommended.

I use 1000 Kcal as my fast day limit, but am averaging 500 rather than 150 minutes of exercise per week.
