I need a boost (not the Cadbury variety!)

[Joblott44]

Hello world of fellow dieters, new to this sort of thing but thought I'd give it a go! 😬 I'm a 52 year old female going through the menopause trying to lose a bit of weight. Not a great combination I know but there is nothing that gives me more pleasure in life than reading dietary success stories and my aim is to write my own success story! 😁 But the fact that when it comes to food I have the control of a fox in a chicken coop it's about 2 stone away! Any help, tips, advice greatly appreciated!

Hi Joblott44

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.

Hello and welcome Joblott44 😊

Have a read of the suggestions Rose made and please ask if you have any questions. Hormones have a lot to answer for don't they? But it can be done, it's just a little more difficult

Best wishes
