Hi and welcome, Camatty

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

Hi Camatty - Mojo is a curious thing ... Mine was born out of competitiveness originally! A couple of friends had joined Slimming World and started to lose weight, I thought I'd look into a healthy change myself but my Scottish blood wouldn't let me pay to weigh!! I found the NHS 12 week weight loss plan and MyFitnessPal to track the calories and I'm still as competitive as ever 😉

The support on the forum is fabulous and has staved off many a snack ... Along with peppermint tea which makes anything else taste vile!! Good luck on your journey ... Enjoy the ride!! 🌻🌺🌹

Thank you Folliegirl, to be honest I think it's slimming clubs that have let me down, I seem to lose 1lb or 2lb a week, whereas others lost like 5lb in there first week, I was made to feel like it wasn't enough which made me pull out . This time I want to do it for myself and like you say the support looks great here 😊

So fingers crossed xxx

Hi good luck with the weight loss- plan small goals and if you fall off the wagon then don't beat yourself up about it- we all do at times- try and understand why so hopefully you can avoid it in the future but also use to help you make more determined to suceed

Hi Camatty , just seen your post. The biggest thing that helps me to find my mojo when it ups and goes is posting on the forum. You get so much good advice and support. If you shout for help I can guarantee people coming running. I also find it helps to get involved in some of the challenges. Good luck 🙂
