Gotta Drop the Weight

[markstronger]

Getting Started:

Need to lose some weight. Strong, but overall fitness not good. Started with a fitness trainer on Monday. Currently, doing kettlebell routine and today start making changes to food portions.

I really like the foodforfitness podcasts and blog, lots of nutritional advice, motivational interviews and exercise advice 😊 Good luck 😊

Hi Markstronger,

Great that you're getting started, and welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum. Have you read our Welcome Newbie post? It's in the Pinned posts area (top right-hand-side of the homepage) if you do want to have a read - and there are other pinned posts there that are worth a look.

Maybe join us for the Monday group weigh-in sessions, if you like the idea of a weekly weigh-in as part of a group - I know it's not everyone's cup of tea, but it is a really supportive and encouraging group.

Have a great week.

Hi markstronger and welcome to this very friendly forum 😀

Alot of us are following the nhs12wk plan and would highly recommend if you aren't to print it all out and have a good read through.

Portion control was one of my major problems before I started I now weigh my food (to a degree) and have found with a few tweeks to my diet I am never hungry. I've lost nearly 2stone in 19wks.

You sound like your enjoying the exercise and that's a major hurdle.

Good luck. Claire x

Today is the first official day of the 12-week plan.

I will pay close attention to my portion control and stress eating.

Good luck mark. Hope the plan works for you as it has me. We are all here should you need the support. Join in with some challenges and the weekly weigh in as it motivates you to put that little bit more effort in (most of the time!?!?) Good luck again. Claire x
