Hi everyone. Just thought I'd introduce myself. I'm Sarah I'm 37 and desperately need help to lose weight.
I'm classed as obese. I have spinal problems caused by spondylolethesis so find most exercises painful. My GP has told be to just keep at it and it will get easier.
So I'm here to look for any advice that may help me.
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.
It's difficult to feel positive about our bodies when we are in pain and have difficulty exercising, but the good news is weight loss is more about what you eat than exercise 😊 Have a good look around the site, especially at the links Rose suggest and please ask if you have any questions 😊
