Hi and welcome yakyak
Have a look at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen, (bottom if you're on a mobile) and read our Welcome Newbie post. It has a link to the NHS 12 week plan, which is a great place to start. It doesn't give a specific diet plan, but gives guidelines for healthy eating.
Consider signing up for any, or all of our challenges, as they're fun and motivating.
We also have a monday group weigh-in and if you click follow on my profile, you'll get a notification when I post it on monday. You can have a look at the latest thread in the events section, to the right of the home page.
Be active on the forum, as that's where we meet to exchange ideas and get our daily fix of inspiration and motivation
Wishing you all the very best
Welcome I suggest reading the posts moreless has linked you to and joining in on the forum as much as you can. My tip: don't give up.
hi and welcome just remember there will be hard days but the good ones make you feel alive
Hi Yakyak1969 and welcome to this very friendly forum 😀 you have definitely come to the right place for motivation and advice 👍
I would recommend the nhs12wk plan. Following this plan and being active on this forum has made it possible for me to loose my 2stone target 💗
Find out your calorie allowance and maybe use myfitnesspal to keep a track of your calories throughout the day. Or good old pen and paper. Be as truthful as possible and weigh your food as portion control was a big issue for me and many other people on this journey 😆
Good luck with your journey and i look forward to reading your updates. If you have any questions or need any help or advice post it and you will get lots of responses from all the lovely people here.
