I'm new and just looking round this site. Ineed to lose a lot of weight as i've got a bad back and being slimmer will certainly help it. I'm hoping it won't be too difficult. fingers crossex.

Hello Enamel and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum 😊

Please take a look at the Welcome Newbie Post for advice about how the forum works and all the things we have on offer. Read it carefully as it has lots of important information, and just ask if you have any questions. healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

The best advice I can give is to get into the right mindset, focus on good nutrition and decent amounts of food to avoid hunger and deprivation. If you eat properly and avoid hunger then it makes the whole process much easier.

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?’

For your own privacy and safety online we suggest that you lock your posts by selecting ‘members of my community’ when you write a new post. Please read our security post here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... especially as your post isn’t locked

Best wishes and have a good first week

Indigo 😊

Hello and welcome

I recommend joining a weigh in on the day that suits you. It's a great way of getting to know a group of people and supporting each other along the way.

I'd also recommend locking your posts, as IndigoBlue61 says. Not everyone is comfortable replying to unlocked posts.

All the information you need is in the links you've been given so I hope you'll soon be finding your way around

Good morning Enamel and welcome. This is a great place for inspiration and helping to keep you motivated and focused with the greatest benefit being gained if you join in. I don't know how much weight you want to lose but you will see people with badges giving a weight they have lost so far and you will spot some huge results (13 stone being the largest I've seen), however every loss is a great loss as our weight loss journeys are personal and the amount to lose individual. Set yourself mini targets, don't focus on that big number (I don't even know how much I want to lose) I look forward to seeing you around the forum and following your progress.
