Hi and welcome, Shelly

Well done for beating cancer and taking the steps required to get back to the former you

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 on any day except Monday, as that weigh-in is over-subscribed. 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

Thank you will do ... when I had cancer I could not eat much at all and still struggle at times but I'm determined to succeed 😊

[Ceals in reply to Shellygirl]

And nothing succeeds like success Shellygirl mindset is an all important factor and it sound like you have that bit sorted.

I like using a huge variety of foods, cooking from fresh ingredients and my mantra is if it isn't good for me it doesn't go in my mouth.

[Shellygirl 2 stone in reply to Ceals]
