Morning people! I've been here before so i know how supportive and non judgemental everyone is. Basically, 2 babies over last 5 years, mixed with rubbish will power and a prolonged bout of stress and emotional stuffing of my face, has landed me back to being about 4 stone over weight. I've spent last 4 months kicking myself for putting a load of weight back on (i lost 3 stone at beginning of 2016 through couch25k) but rather than flog myself any longer, i'm getting back on it.
I'm wondering if we can put those weight count down ticker tape type things on here? anyone know?
Thanks everyone xx

Welcome to the forum. I am losing weight for my wedding although my fiancé and I haven't set a date yet. I am following Slimming World but I am weighing in at my mum's house instead of going to classes because I am saving for my wedding and I am in the process of moving. I have lost 4lbs in the last 3 weeks. I like this forum and find it useful. I also like the support I get from other members as well as family and friends.
I'm afraid I don't know what you mean by count down ticker tape type things?? We award weight loss badges, which will replace your newbie badge

Take a look at the NHS 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.

hi moreless! Thanks for replying and for all the info
The ticker tape thing i mean.....Ive seen on other forums, or maybe even this one in the past(I'm not sure), that people have a diagram at the foot of their posts, which looks like a long thin ruler/tape measure, showing weight loss and how far they have to go?
