Hi Jen,

Welcome to the NHS weight loss forum. The Welcome Newbie post is a great place to start reading to orientate you to what is available within the forum, and you can find that in the Pinned posts area - right-hand-side of the homepage.

If you'd like to join us for the Monday group weigh-in sessions, then please look out for that, a link to that is further down the page (right-hand-side). You'd be very welcome to join us, if you think it would be something you'd be interested in participating in.

The NHS 12 week plan is really good, and easy to follow. Many of us have found success on our weight loss journey by following that plan.

Hope you have a great week.

hiya Jen , I'm new here too , started the 12 week plan , I have over 3 stone to loose but I'm going to try and not make it a race and do it for myself. So far I have found reading others posts really informative & encouraging. You can do it! Positivity all the way , good luck to you xxx

Hello jen 😊 You have made an excellent start by losing 12lbs! Wow 😊 By the time of your holiday you will be so much fitter and slimmer 😊

Just a couple of things, I cannot "diet" as my mind just goes haywire!! I have to convince myself I am just eating healthily!! Lol 😊 Also, after such a large weight loss, you may see this slow down but don't be disheartened 😊 In 7 months just losing one pound a week will see you at two stone lighter, 2lbs a week you will almost be at goal 😊 Good luck and very best wishes 😊
