HI Pipster72,
A very warm welcome to the forum, and hope you'll enjoy it here. It's a friendly and supportive place.
The NHS 12 week plan is a great plan, so do have a look at it to see if it might be something you'd like to try. Moreless's Welcome Newbie pack is really great.
Maybe join in our Monday group weigh-in sessions if you fancy the idea of a weekly weigh-in. Alternatively you could do your own weigh-in posts - the lovely thing about the forum is there's plenty of scope to do what works best for you.
Have a great week ahead.

Hi Pipster 72
Like you, I seemed to have tried everything over the years, losing weight, then putting it back on but since joining the forum just over 3 weeks ago my motivation hasn't dipped and I've lost 6 lbs. It's great to check your emails every day and see how everyone is doing, perhaps give support and know you can post something yourself if you want help or even a pat on the back, which makes us all feel good. Like most people I started a diet in the new year and it took me 6 weeks to lose 4 lbs so I was beginning to lose heart, then stumbled on this forum, which has made all the difference. You can do it too - good luck!
Welcome You are not alone, many of us have lots to lose and possibly lots to lose if we don't finally shift that fat.
Hi Pipster 72,
I have a lot of weight to lose. I'm setting my target at a stone at a time, that way it doesn't feel to daunting. I've only been a member for a few weeks but everybody is so welcoming and helpful. You can do it, keep smiling.

This is a great forum for staying motivated so don't despair . I love the slogan that's used 'onwards and downwards' . Everyone is very supportive so you can lose weight this time if you stick with it.
