Hello

[Kim93]

Hello. I have recently lost 5 stone through a small amount of exercise and healthy eating.

I have been more active of recent months and eating well. I am also on Orlistat to aid in losing weight but the scales just won't budge. Xx

Hi Kim93

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members here have had success losing weight on this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Take your measurements at the start along with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

We have daily weight ins so why not come and join us. You can find them on the Home page in Events. Just click on the post and post your starting weight, your aim for the week and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

To get the most out of the forum be active, share experiences, tips and ideas. Read some of the posts they are good for inspiration and very motivating.

Have a good first week.

Well done for losing all that weight! How long has it taken you?

It has taken me about 18 months but I want to lose another 6 stone ☺

You have done well, are you planning on keeping up with the orlistat. I didn't like it much although it does help with weight loss
