Hi Cath,

Join the gang 😃 and go for it!! You will find loads of support, inspirational journeys and great humour.

Have you got a plan/goal ? 😃

I would like to lose 2 lb a week 😀 Hired a cross trainer it's coming tomorrow so it will be healthy eating and exercise for here on in.

Do you have a plan/goal?

Hi Cathsp12,

Great that you've joined this forum, and I hope you'll enjoy being part of the community. Many of us are following the NHS 12 week plan, which is really good. You can access it via clicking on the icon in the top middle part of the screen, entitled 'Weight Loss NHS' and then clicking till you reach the downloadable 12 week plan - it's really good. Also, using an app like Myfitnesspal can help to keep track of food and drink intake and exercise.

Great that you've got a cross trainer arriving tomorrow - that will be such a help on the exercise side of things.

If you fancy the idea of a Monday group weigh-in, then please do consider joining us - as I post a regular Monday group thread just before 7am on Mondays, and it is a supportive group.

You'd be very welcome.

Good luck with your goals.

Thank you for your response and encouragement. I will join the Monday weigh in too

Hi Cathsp12,

Just to say the Monday group weigh-in is running at this very moment, if you want to go in there and say 'hello' and introduce yourself. Suzybenj (Fab 5'er) is responding to posts this evening, and I'll be popping in later on as well, so one or more of us would respond to you if you do post tonight.

Alternatively you could join us next week (11th January) for the next one. Whichever suits you best.

Glad you'll be joining us!

Im like you. New to all this. Overweight and mid 50s and unfit. Looking forward to seeing how it all works. Im downloading the nhs 12 wk plan to get started , the weekly weigh in and round the world to force myself to exercise

[Cathsp12]

I will download the 12 week programme and joining the weekly weigh in- IT skills permitting. Not come across the round the world programme yet!

It seems to be a brilliant site I am so glad I found it.

Thanks again chat soon
