Hi Salimali,

Welcome to the NHS Weight Loss Forum here on HealthUnlocked - this forum is a great place for support, motivation and inspiration to lose weight.

Take a look at the NHS 12 Week Plan, it contains recipes and exercise plans to follow for the first twelve weeks of your journey.

Take a look at the left of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile device) and find the 'Pinned Posts' section, here you can find the 'Welcome Newbie' post, various challenges that are going on in the forum (take part in whatever ones take your fancy - if any do at all!), there is also a recipe collation there (you will definately find some fish only/veggie recipes too) and any important posts from Admin

Also to your left is the 'Topics' area, here you can find posts related to each topic, it's good if you are looking for something specific

The Monday Group Weigh In takes place weekly and is posted alternately by Zest and moreless (I suggest you follow them, they are also our site admins), a morning session post is put live just before 06:30 and runs until midday, while the afternoon session runs from midday until 18:00 on the Friday of that week - it'll be running as usual this coming Monday, so, if you wish, you can go and post your starting weight there

We also now run a badges system on the forum, you can start with the ‘Newbie’ badge and then work you way up to 7lbs and then in 1 stone increments, they are also avaliable in Kgs too. If you would like a badge, just let Lowcal or moreless know

All that remains is to wish you a great first week on the forum - be involved because it's where we get our boost each day

Hello! welcome! i have started really focusing on hunger and fullness. i only eat when im hungry, and then i try to eat slowly, and i stop when im satisfied and starting to get full. this seems to be helping.

Good luck! ☺

Good morning Salimali 😊

You have had a good welcome there from Rob so lookmatbthe links, especially the recipe one 😊 I love food and love cooking and looking for new recipes, so can recommend some good books and websites. BBC Good Food is excellent (you can search for vegetarian) 😊 It sounds as if a Mediterranean diet would suit you, lots of fruit and veg, and some fish. Also if you like Asian food, spices and pulses can be very useful. You didn't mention pasta but this is an excellent base for many tasty meals based around vegetables.

I hope this helps 😊
