Newbie needing confidence

Hi all

I have joined this forum today. I need to lose just over two stone in weight, majority of it is round my waist and face.

I was diagnosed with SLE, APS and arthritis end of last year and been on high dose steroids since. I am now slowly reducing these but as you can imagine my weight has shot up. I've list my self esteem and confidence.

I have tried WW and SW with no success. Can I ask if the 12 week plan would be suitable please?

Thank you in advance

Hi and welcome LSurtees - please note no one on here is medically qualified, so can't comment on your condition or medication :)

The 12 week plan is a good and I used it, as many on here have, with great success :)

I'd like to invite you to join our Newbie Club, which we hope will be a good place for you to connect with members, who are also just starting out. If you just post a few words to introduce yourself and respond to others there, you'll soon break the ice. Here's the link

I've also given you a week 1 badge.

Wishing you all the best

:)

Hi there, welcome to the forum, you can log your weight any day but they would like you to continue logging your weight this day of the week all of the time. Make sure you choose the day of the week that would be easiest for you. I personally chose the Thursday because if I eat extra or go away at weekends it gives me enough time in the week to get back to my correct calorie allowance and also to make sure I am back in order if I have been away for the weekend. Hope all goes well for you on your journey, good luck.
