I am at the beginning of my journey too. I need to lose 3 stones and get my BP under control. I joined yesterday. Good luck!

Welcome to you too Dgaidge. I have lost over 3 stone here in 12 weeks so you can absolutely do this. Join in with the chat here and don't be afraid to ask lots of questions. Good luck to you

[Dgaidge in reply to Kenny25]

wow, that is impressive, 3 stones in 12 weeks! I am planning to follow the BHF plan as they use portions, not calories. I think I may get a bit too obsessed with calories, so I will try that one for now and maybe switch later when (hopefully!) I am on a roll!

Good for you not three stone just two pounds then a pound and so on Your diet change will immediately improve your sense of well - being. It's great. I don't like people saying I am on a diet anymore. This suggests you will do something short term and then go back. I think you change the way you eat and drink for life. As I look around so many of us let our bodies become obese nowadays. However you just need to focus on you. I thought it was going to be really hard but it's not. Enjoy feeling hungry sometimes as you know it's working. the feeling passes drink lots of water. Good luck!

Hi and welcome AMurphy

Take a look at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a mobile) and have a look at the Welcome Newbies thread, it has a link to the NHS 12 week plan, which is a guide to healthy living, rather that a specific diet plan.

Look at the Topics section beneath that, for posts that could answer any questions you may have.

Consider joining any, or all, of our challenges, as they're fun and motivating.

Join us for the monday group weigh-in. If you follow Zest and myself , you'll be notified when we post the threads. However, the latest thread can always be found in the events section, to the right of the home page.
