Hi Lisa

You have already crossed the first hurdle on your weight loss journey and you will find lots of support here along the way. Just keep popping in here to read and reply to posts, it's quite amazing how motivating and inspiring some of the posts can be. Have you got a specific plan, lots of people here are following the NHS 12 week plan which means making small changes each week and they all add up to bring results. Good luck.

Yes will be looking at the 12 week plan and incorporating exercise but I have lived a very sedentary lifestyle for a while so need to start exercising gently x

If you start with a short walk every day and build up slowly. Don't try to do too much too soon, enjoy your new lifestyle and you'll find it easier to stick to.

Hi lisa80085 can I just say you have come to the right place to begin your journey and welcome hun

I was like you fed up of being sooo...big and one day decided to change my life and live it and now 42 weeks into my journey I can say I am living it no more hiding away from the rest of the world let's get out there and lets do this. This community will be a great support to you along the way and I can vouch for that. I can also say that the nhs 12 plan is absolutely a god send and so easy to follow.

Plan every day and those days will soon turn into week 1, week 2, and so on until you reach week 12 and can celebrate all of those welcomed changes you will have introduced into your life. As I said I am on week 42 of my journey so it's a long road ahead, but worth every bit of energy and planning I have put into making my life feel whole again.

Remember you are worth it too

Hi Lisa,

I'm on week 8 of my journey and am already feeling like a new person. I too have many more weeks ahead of me than the 12, but feel totally committed and very, very positive of a successful journey to health and happiness.

With the support from this forum, you can't fail.

All the very best to you

I have been on my programme for 7 weeks. When I started I was counting days but somewhere. About day 8 I stopped that. I have been here 2 weeks because like all of us I need support. We can do this.
