Unfortunately I'm not an expert and it may be the case that it might be worth while that you seek out a expert who can help you. I just want to encourage you to keep going. It's hard now but I'm sure it will pay off soon :).

Hi mad4cavs

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Have a look at the Daily Diary where members are sharing their own meal plans for the day it may give you some ideas on meals you would be able to eat.

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.
