Hi Corbienator ,

Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum - we hope that you'll feel comfortable and find the site useful

There are multiple recipe posts around the forum - including this one which collates many of them:

healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh....

I don't know if you're aware of the NHS 12 Week Plan (nhs.uk/livewell/weight-loss... and I don't know if you could fit it in around your work schedule, there is also a challenge that is being run at the moment where members are re-booting (or starting) the 12 week plan as a group - that post can be found here: healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Zest and her "Fab 5'ers" run a weekly group weigh in too, Lowcal posts a thread around 6:30am and then again at around midday each Monday, the Monday just gone's posts can be found here:

There is also a "Welcome Newbie" thread where there is lots of useful info that I hope you will find helpful that is here: healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Hope that this has been of some help - please keep in touch and update us on your progress

Hi 77414afc,

Welcome!  Have you seen our Welcome Newbie post that is in the Pinned posts area (see the top right-hand-side of the homepage).

Also, regarding meal ideas, how about having a look at our extensive Collation Recipe post that includes ideas forwarded by members of the Weight Loss NHS Forum?  Here's a link to that thread:

Good luck and hope you find something tasty and nutritious.

Please check out all the various Challenges that are taking place in the forum at the moment as well - the 'Re-boot' challenge would be a good one, as it is following the NHS 12 week plan as a group, and if you sign up today you could join us.  

There are also regular Monday group weigh-in sessions, so see the 'Events' section for details of those (again right-hand-side of the homepage, about half-way down the page).

Good luck!

Hello

I feel for you 😕 My daughter used to work similar shift pattern and it's not the easiest, eating wise 😕 If you can, try to eat a substantial lunch, include carbohydrates and protein to keep you full and give you energy, and take a decent packed meal for your evening break. Her downfall was take aways on the way home 😕 

Good luck!
