Hi and welcome jackofall :)

I understand the reasoning behind starting on the 5th, but if you could bring yourself to start a day earlier, you could join us all for our first Monday group weigh-in of 2016 and join us at the start of our Around the World in 80 days challenge :)

Have you looked at the NHS 12 week plan to start you off on your healthy eating journey?

This is last Monday's weigh-in

Looking forward to following your progress.

Here's to 2016 seeing the end to some, if not all of those 8 stones :)

Hi Good luck and maybe make your goal a lifestyle change. Your goal could be split into small ones - planned over 4 X 3 months for example. There is the c25K app which supports the goal to move more whilst eating less.

Hi

I'm going to start today. For health reasons I have decided to get lighter and fitter.

I know it's not going to be easy, but the time is now to do it.

Good luck!

Hi Jackofall, that's very positive! Good for you. 5th Jan last year was when I started trying to eat a bit better- good luck and I'm sure you'll do well! My tiny tip for what it's worth- try breaking that total down into teeny tiny targets so you're achieving regularly and can reward yourself with non food little treats 😀

Hi Jackofall

Good Luck with your journey. I struggled for several years to start losing weight, then I also started thinking about the health implications, I started on the NHS plan, joined a keepfit class and have been doing well. Lost a stone. For me it is the commitment of being weighed each week. Even when it gets tough or you have a 'bad day' please don't give up, just start afresh the next day, it really works that way.
