What is your favourite healthy recipe?

[Pseud0nym]

Hello, I'm new, and looking for a bit of inspiration and motivation to get me into the habit of eating right. I have 1st and 3lb to lose, having lost almost a stone over the last year by joining a gym. I'm hoping changing my eating habits whilst keeping up my exercising will shift this last stone a bit quicker. My main issue is boredom eating in the evening, so if anyone has any hints and tips about avoiding that I'm all ears.

I was also hoping you more experienced guys might share some of your favourite healthy recipes to help give me a kick - I keep making the same meals and I'm bored stiff of them. I had a mooch about in the Change 4 Life recipes page but only one thing really caught my fancy.

Hello Pseud0nym and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

Very well done on losing almost a stone already, thats fantastic! 😊

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you. Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for. 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

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page. And if you just want to chat, to say hello or share any news or struggles then look out for What's Happening Today thread.

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too. If you have any questions please just ask

Best wishes

Anna
