Hi Richard,

Welcome to the NHS Weight Loss forum

It's great that you've already lost over 60lbs - a brilliant start!

You can find the NHS 12 Week Plan to the right of your screen - just click on the picture!

Take a look at the right hand side of your screen (bottom if you're on a mobile device) at the 'pinned posts' area - here is a collation of various useful posts (such as the 'Welcome Newbie' post and challenges that are currently being run on the forum - take part in what ever you want to)

In that 'Pinned Posts' section, there is also a collation of recipe ideas, they will always come in useful too

The Monday Weigh In group is posted weekly, Zest and moreless , who are also our approachable site admins alternate the posting of the thread between them. There is a morning thread (if you weigh in between 06:30 until midday) and an afternoon/evening thread (from midday on Monday until 6pm on the Friday of that week).

The topics section, underneath the 'pinned posts' area will give you all of the posts related to that topic - it's useful if you're looking for something specific!

Finally, all that remains is to wish you a great first week on the forum!

Best wishes,

Rob

I'm ok about the badge, just here to support others and to show no one is ever alone on these journeys. we struggle, we fight and we never give up, and if its ok, would love to keep posting my update photos monthly while it may not help but 1 person may see this and think if he can do it so can i.
