Hello again a year later!

[Deb17totoGo]

Hello, last year using the NHS 12 week diet plan I successfully lost 21 lbs/9.5 kgs to reach my 'ideal weight' of 9 stone 3 lbs/58.5 kgs, but alas I seem to have slowly put back on half of it these last 9 months! So I'm planning to use this plan again to lose weight as I think it's really brilliant, as is this community, but this time keep it off! I think maybe it would help if there was a post-weight loss diet/forum to help you maintain your ideal weight...Anyway just wanted to say hello and wish everyone luck!

Hi Deb17totoGo,

Welcome back! Great that you have lost weight successfully with the NhS 12 week diet plan in the past - I've been here for over 3 years on the site, and I continue to use the principles of the NHS eating plan and have successfully maintained my weight in the healthy BMI for a significant period of time, nearly 1.5 years infact. There are several other people in that position who are actively 'maintaining' - and basically we all participate in the Monday group weigh-in sessions to give us the impetus to keep going. I am trying to get rid of my final half a stone, which is a struggle, but I'm keeping going.

Please do look at the posts in the Pinned Post section, especially the Welcome Newbie thread and the Challenges - as there is a lot more information there than there was a year ago, and also the Monday group weigh-in is worth a read - the latest session is going on now - see the Events section (right-hand-side of the homepage) - please do join us if you like the look of it and would like to participate.

Whatever you do, have a wonderful week and I'd like to wish you success with your weight loss journey.
