Hello bonny64 Welcome to the Weight Loss Forum ☺ and very well done on the smoking ☺ that must have been tough.

Have a good look around the forum especially the Newbies post (in the Pinned Posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile) and also the links to the NHS 12 week plan weight loss plan. This is an excellent plan with weekly email support. ☺

The forum has weigh in threads on 6 days of the week that you are welcome to join. Unfortunately, Monday and Tuesday are fully subscribed but you are welcome to join any of the others ☺

There are regular challenges and progress 'badges' including a 'Newbie' one for when you first join the forum. If you would like one just ask ☺

Don't forget to take your initial measurements and photographs as it's a great way of seeing just how far you've come, especially when the scales aren't co-operating. ☺

We are a very friendly group so please ask if you have any questions

Best wishes

Anna

Well done bonny64, for joining this lovely group. Join a weigh in day, as Anna61 has already said, you don't have to if you don't want to, this is the beauty of this forum you can do any diet or just cut down on portions or if it's just support and advice there's always someone around. Good luck and welcome 😃
