Good luck. Have you had a look at the 12 week plan?I found it a great way to get started.

Hi JoanneG83,

I just replied to you in Hidden  's 4th July Challenge - it's great that you've joined up with that.  

linggirl  has suggested the NHS 12 week plan, and I would also say that is an excellent plan, and it is linked to this forum, so it's great to be able to make the most of those resources. 

I mentioned the Welcome Newbie post to you in my other reply, but I didn't give you the direct link - so I'll do that now, if you'd like to take a look at the thread which was collated by moreless  :

We also have a Monday group weigh-in, so if you would like to participate in that, do look out for the next session which will be on Monday morning.  There is also a session to post in from midday onwards too.

Have a great first week, and good luck with your goals.

HI JoanneG83. This forum is great for support and advice. Hope it helps you on your weightloss journey. Have a look at the links that Lowcal sent you and maybe join the Monday weigh-in

Hi @joanneG83,

Welcome aboard! I've only recently joined the forum in the last 4 weeks and can honestly say that this group is great fun, and extremely helpful in both getting you started and keeping you going.... 

You say that you would like to lose 20lbs initially - why not sign up to the 'lose a stone for summer' challenge as this will certainly help you on your way. You'll find that there's a lot of motivated people on this challenge, with some great ideas on how to reach this goal.

Have fun...
