Just Starting

This is the first ever post I've done anywhere but today is the day to start my weight loss journey. I've tried many things before and know this time I have got to stick to it as now I'm so overweight I struggle to motivate myself to take the dog for a walk. Any advice out there for just starting out or recipes for feeding a family of 6?

Welcome!

When I started a week ago I refused to walk a dog too. And today I started a 5k running plan :) 

It's all in your head, get in the right mindset and fight!

Just normal food, bump up the veggies and weigh your portions until you get used to it 😊

Hi Hatta2000,

Welcome to the forum, it's great you've decided to join us, and especially great that this is your first ever post anywhere.  You're sounding committed to starting your weight loss journey, and that is brilliant!  

I see that ScoobaSteve  has given you a link to our Recipe post - and hopefully you'll find some good ideas in there.  Please do add any recipes to it, if you have any you'd like to add - we hope that thread will grow and develop over time, and I've pinned it in the Pinned post area (top right-hand-side of the homepage) so people can find it easily.

There is a Welcome Newbie post, which moreless  has put together, and it is really useful too:

I hope you'll join in anything that you see that interests you.  

Wishing you good luck with your weight loss journey, and hope to see you around and about in the forum.  

Lowcal :-)
