Good Morning 😊 I’m new to the group, just joined today. I’m 12 stone and aiming to lose 2 stone. I’ve had a recent knee op due to an Injury..... my consultant shocked me last week by telling me I’ll likely need a knee replacement soon. Anyway I’ve decided that losing some weight is definitely going to help the situation ..... so here goes 😊

Starting Weight. 12 stone

Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum PMGreeny 😊

First of all, to help you find your way around, and enjoy all the things we have on offer, please read the Welcome Newbies Post here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Take your time to read it carefully as it has lots of information.

Hard luck on the knee injury, I also have painful joints so you have my sympathy. Luckily weight loss is far more about what we eat than exercise. The best advice I can give is to eat enough. If you are following the NHS 12 Week plan then the 1400 calorie target suggested is a just generic amount, please check your own personal calorie target using the BMI checker, it’s often higher than you think. We always advise starting towards the top of the range, being hungry is the single biggest cause of weight loss failure.

I also highly recomend coming onto the forum regularly, daily if you can, reading posts and replying to others. Being part of a community is proven to help weight loss. Why not join our daily chat thread ‘What’s Happening Today?
