Hi Yasminjsmyth,

Welcome to the forum. We have a 'Welcome Newbie' post, which you might like to read though. It was collated by a lovely forum member called Moreless. The thread contains lots of things that different forum members like about the forum, and it contains lots of information:

Hope you'll join in the various things that are going on in the forum - maybe the Around the World Challenge (look out for Fizzyliz's posts); or the Easter Bunny Challenge (by Sueper) (the thread is a Pinned post - see the right-hand-side of the homepage), or the Monday group weigh-in sessions (see 'Events' section - again on the right-hand-side of the homepage).

The NHS 12 week plan is really good, and that can be accessed via the icon at the top middle - called 'Weight Loss NHS'.

Wishing you success with your weight loss journey, and have a great week ahead.

Hope to see you around and about in the forum.

I had a health check and was dismayed my blood pressure was too high for my age (67) which is why I too decided to lose weight and joined here.

I like the walking exercises on you tube (as I don't get out much) and just made small changes in my diet

So far I have lost just over a stone in 7 weeks - So it can be done !

Mind you I have a lot more weight to lose than you....lol

As for your stress try having some "you" time and do things which are relaxing. Maybe a nice scented bath or some reading or relaxing music etc ...

Good Luck !!
