Hi all! I'm new to all this & am looking forward to getting help & advice from fellow users.

Hi Ljr5,

Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum.  I'd like to give you the link to the Welcome Newbie thread, which moreless  has put together: 

healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Many of us follow the principles of the NHS 12 week plan, as it's a good structure and a great resource.  We have a Monday group weigh-in if you're interested - you can see details of that in the Welcome Newbie thread, but also you could see the latest thread in the 'Events' section (right-hand-side of homepage) - so have a read to see if you think you'd like to participate.  You'd be very welcome.

Wishing you a great week ahead and good luck with your weight loss goals.

Thank you very much. I'm hoping to get some very helpful & useful advice. But sense I have a long way to go.

Don't look any further ahead than tomorrow - it is a case of lots of small steps - one day at a time.  I have been using an online app to keep track of my calories and walking more as I get fitter.  I have gone from 15st 6lbs to 14st 2lbs and feel so much better - but still targeting a weight of around 12st 7lbs.  The weight crept on slowly and it has to come off at the same pace sadly - but we will get there if we put our mind to it.  Be positive - it starts in the next half an hour.... when you decide to have a cup of tea instead of bag of crisps and so on....you can do it!

I'm finding these weeks really challenging. I seem to be losing weight, but not the any (or very little) exercise & not thr eating healthy. Am concerned & have spoken to my GP who is going to monitor it. Any help or advice wld be appreciated.
