Welcome. I'm glad I found it too. I've been on so many diets but this 12 week plan is about lifestyle changes. It's slow weight loss which is one of my issues as I want to lose weight fast. I have to tell myself that this time it's not a quick short term fix but a new way of living. Better food choices and move more. I find keeping a daily food diary to count calories really helpful. Good luck.

Good luck. I'd really recommend joining the Monday weigh in thread, its usually posted by 7 a.m. and is entitled Please join us for a Monday weigh in - with that days date. If you look through the old posts you'll see how great it is for motivation :)

thank you x

Good to have you join us😃

Maybe rethink the 'diet' lark and just think of making small changes it certainly worked for me and if not already have a look at the NHS 12 week plan a good start to get you rethinking your journey.

On a Monday there a weigh in post from Prin or Lowcal they are part of the fab five and it's a great motivator and support.

You can do this turn the page and go for it 😃

Have a fab week

😇

Hi smudgersmith,

I never started my diet, it kind of just happened. I made gradual changes with diet and exercise and then thought I'd weigh myself and see if the lbs came off and they did.

Gradual lifestyle changes are better than telling yourself you're on a diet and starting on a particular day.

This is a fab site for support etc. so make good use of it.

Good luck :)
