Hi ann70

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Sorry to hear you have been having a hard year and lost your sister and mum.

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.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

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 today. 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

ann70 my heart goes out to you, I am so sorry for you. All four of my siblings died far too young. I am sure that it hasn't been easy taking care of yourself lately.

This place is very special, very supportive and full of great ideas. Come on as often as you can and get involved in the conversations and challenges. The Daily Diary makes for a brilliant read, when you feel like it start posting your plans.

Take care and good luck.
