Hi, you can do it! Incidentally - to find clothes, I was surprised how much to max had in a size 20 to fit me. Very cheap too, I bought a couple of tops for under £15 each as all my clothes are too loose now. Good luck with the weight loss and good luck with dodgy men too! Stand firm x

Hello laurag27 😊 Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum. I'm glad that you’ve joined. We are a friendly bunch! 😊 You have a lot on your plate but I found gaining control of my eating helps my confidence and gives extra strength to cope with life's hurdles 😕

First place to look is at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a mobile) and have a look at the Welcome Newbies thread.😊 there is lots of info here, and links to the nhs12 week plan and also for checking your BMR and target calories 😊 it's important to eat enough so you don't get hungry or feel deprived 😊

It's also good to be active on the forum, that's where we exchange ideas and get our daily dose of motivation and inspiration.😊

Have a good look around and please ask if you have any questions 😊

Best wishes
