Have to start somewhere

[Moonfaerie]

So i have tried the fads, pills, hypnotherapy. Time to take control. I have never been this big in my life and i feel myself slowing down more and more. Let the new plan begin

Hi Moonfaerie,

Welcome to the Weight Loss NhS forum. It's great that you're feeling as if it's time to take control, and I hope that you'll enjoy a fresh start. The NHS 12 week plan is really good, and I'd recommend having a look at our Welcome Newbie post, which is in the Pinned Posts area - right-hand-side of the homepage.

I hope you'll join in with any Challenges going on in the forum, and maybe join us for the Monday group weigh-ins, if you like the idea of a weigh-in group that is supportive and friendly.

Wishing you a really good weekend and a good week ahead.

Lowcal

Hello Hidden and welcome to the weight loss forum.

I'm afraid I don't know anything about your medical conditions so cannot advise you there 😕 With regards to weight loss, like lowcal said above, have a read of the newbies post and also take a look at the nhs12 week plan 😊 It may also be worthwhile to have a chat with your medical practice nurse, she may know of support groups in your area 😊

Good luck
