Hi all. I’m Suzi, I’m 40 and I started the nhs 12 week diet on Monday. I need to change my eating habits and try to eat for healthy as well as lose weight. I’m doing it for my health, I’m not getting any younger and as of yet I have no major health issues and I want it to stay that way if I can help it.

Hello suzihugs and a very warm 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. healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... Read it carefully as it has lots of important information, and just ask if you have any questions.

The best advice I can give is have enough to eat. If you are following the NHS 12 Week plan then the 1400/1900 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 biggest cause of weight loss failure

I recommend 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.

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 😊

Hi, I have recently joined this group too and am on week 3 of the NHS challenge. My reasons are similar to yours and I want to lose weight, but more importantly I want to change my lazy, unfit and unhealthy ways. My advice is to join a weigh in on this group - I'm a Wednesday Wobble Warrior - the support and encouragement is amazing. Also check in often and don't be afraid to post questions or general queries. Good luck with your new journey ☺

[suzihugs in reply to Marple_J]

Thank you. It’s nice to know there are people out there doing it for similar reasons. I want to be healthy for my kids and need to keep that in my mind at all times xx
