Hi Dove37

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 have had success following 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 together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

We have daily weigh ins so why not come along and join us. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

To get the most of the forum be active, share tips, recipes and experiences. Read some of the posts they are very motivating.

Have a good first week.

Rose

Hi Dove37. Welcome to the forum it is really helpful. I find just taking one day at a time really helps. Small steps make big progress. Good luck and enjoy the journey.

It's the first othertime i have joined a forum ,i have always thought that speaking about my and other people's illness would not be a good thing for me but i am just getting used to the idea of sharing things out in the public as opposed to keeping them to myself and i am starting to feel it could be positive to understand other people's problems and to focus less on my own

Hiya

I find the Myfitnesspal app invaluable. SO easy for calorie counting when you start and gives you something "fun" to get you into it.

GL!
