Hiya, I've just downloaded all the weekly plans and hoping to finally have the willpower to get and lose the 5-6st I need to lose. Lockdown, being on my own has caused me to eat my way through my emotions.

How is everyone getting on?

Evening and a warm welcome to the community

I joined about 3 weeks ago and am doing the 12 week NHS plan 😊

Lockdown can be tough right... I'm possibly having a different experience as am in this with young family..

Good on us for trying to make positive changes through healthier eating in the middle of challenges..

I know others will warmly welcome you too and reply to your post once they start waking up or posting tomorrow (which is just about to be today 😊)..

This includes a call out to TeamAdmin to introduce you to the different parts of the forum..

Best of luck

Morning, thank you. I've woke up to some lovely supportive messages already and looking forward to a new day and new start.

It's hard admitting you need help but feeling positive about it.

Thank you so much for taking the time to message x

Hello and welcome to the forum,

Lockdown on your own is tough, I'm finding it hard enough with family. I hope that now some of the restrictions have been lifted you are able to meet up with family or a friend.

We have a thread here called Nutty Natterings which is a good place to go to have just a general chat, you will find others there who live alone, the link is below.

If you haven't already, please take the time to read the Welcome Newbie post, this will help you to navigate the forum, which is best done using the full website and not the app.

Please also take a look at all of the Challenges, Clubs and Events that we have, to help to keep you motivated and engaged with the forum.

The above link will take you to all the information you need. Participation is key to success and I would recommend that you at least join the Daily Diary and a Weigh In day of your choice.

As a peer to peer support group, we all benefit from encouragement and support from one another, so look forward to seeing you join in around the forum :)

Wishing you the best of luck on your weight loss journey :)

Hi and welcome! I’m new here also and understand completely about lockdown and emotional eating! I’m not alone, in fact I have a husband and 4 kids at home which has brought its own challenges! I think taking that first step in acknowledging something needs to change is a huge achievement so well done! I have been stunned by how supportive this forum is so post away any thoughts/feelings/struggles you are having someone will always reply with words of wisdom. Good luck x

Hi and welcome 😊 many of us are here due to lockdown weight gain so you are not alone! I’ve found the Daily Dairy section to be really useful. I post each day what I’m planning on eating (along with my plan as everyone is doing different things - I’m calorie counting) and get encouragement and feedback along with recipe ideas and it keeps me motivated. I’ve shifted my lockdown weight gain in 4 weeks and now I’m working on the rest of my excess baggage 😂😂 all the best with your journey!

Morning thank you and well done for your weight loss....I'm going to spend today making some changes and checking out this forum and get my head around the plan, get shopping sorted and get organised. X

Sounds like a great plan! One tip I will pass on - although I’m calorie counting I’ve also ditched low fat food and avoid processed food too where I can - and I’m not craving sweets/chocolate etc which is making this much easier to manage! All the best with your fresh start 😊
