hello out there

am going to start losing weight today-REALLY WANT IT TO WORK.

I am 12st 12lb and want to get down to 10 stones-which is what the maximum "ideal weight" is, on the chart I looked at.

Is anyone out there with same weight as me so we can support each other and get to our target

Hopeful

many thanks

I Iamhopeful0,

Welcome! It's great that you're starting on your weight loss journey, and that you're feeling enthusiastic.

Do have a look at our Welcome Newbie post - in the Pinned posts area, and you'll see lots of great inspiring posts there - and details of the Monday group weigh-in and other Challenges too - but they are all in the Pinned posts - so worth a look.

Have a great weekend and a great week ahead.

Lowcal :-)

Good for you!

Pasta and bread are my best companions, but have a habit of ruining my shape. Weight Watchers was a good program to safely lose 2 lbs weekly - I recommend that highly.

I am in the same boat as you I am 12stone 12 and want to get to 10 stone but I have the issues of being in a wheelchair so a cant go for a jog lol I wish I could I do miss a good run

Hi iamhopeful0 πŸ˜€ and welcome to this very friendly forum you have definitely come to the right place for motivation and advice πŸ’—

I would recommend you have a look at the nhs12wk plan (if you haven't already) as this helped me go from 12st9lb to my target of 10st9lb ... and now 10st8lb!! I started at the end of feb and with a few ups and downs feel so much happier, healthier and fitter. And with your great attitude you will too πŸŽ‰

Get involved with the forum and join in the challenges as with out them I probably wouldn't of smashed my goals πŸ˜ƒ

Good luck. Claire x
