Hello and Welcome Parisienne20001!

Monday is the general weigh in day around here so I think all the admin types are there (or on vacation, lucky things!) so I thought I'd pop in and give you a welcome.

Have a look at the pinned posts at the right and you'll find all sorts of goodies to get you started (and keep on going!), but especially the Monday weigh ins and challenges if you're interested in being involved and definitely the Welcome thread that has all sorts of interesting and useful info.

I would also personally like to endorse the NHS 12-week plan if you haven't yet had a look. I found it a good place to start and a great structure for getting around the change I'm trying to make to my life. I refuse to diet as I don't want to end up back where I started, I'm here to get healthy and I have found the 12-week plan a useful structure to help me. I was 15 stone in January and, as of today's weigh in, am down to 12 1/2 stone. I'm also eating better and exercising more which is a win win in my opinion.

So jump in where you feel comfortable and good luck on your way to better health.
