Starting again (again)

[Beautiful-dreamer]

Hi just looking for support to sort myself out once & for all. I can lose weight (nothing medical preventing) & really want to but somehow self sabotage constantly so it's mind over matter I guess...here goes!

Heya. I was literally thinking about self-sabotage 10 minutes ago! Like i know that caffeine makes me hungry, but sometimes i still drink it and then wonder why im ravenous but have no cals left!

Anyway welcome to the forum and wishing you lots of success! You can do it, just forget the past and start fresh. 👍

Hello Beautiful-dreamer 😊

Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum. It’s great that you’ve joined.😊

First place to look is 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.😊 there is lots of info here, and links to the nhs12 week plan and also for checking your BMR and target calories 😊 it's important to eat enough so you don't get hungry or feel deprived 😊

If you feel confident then join us for the Monday Group weigh-in. If you follow Lowcal and Moreless (our very approachable site Admins), you'll be notified when they post the threads. The latest weigh-in thread can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page. 😊

Be active on the forum, as that's where we exchange ideas and get our daily dose of motivation and inspiration.😊

Enjoy the forum, good luck and best wishes 😊

Hi

If you really want to loose weight then that is the first part done, now it's the next part that is the hard part, actually changing your eating habits and what you eat and sticking to it. The NHS 12 week plan is really good to follow as you are not depriving yourself of any foods but (in my case) eating more veg and fruit and less sugar and fatty foods.

I had tried various diets previously, but only half hearted so guess what? Yep didn't last gave up and didn't loose hardly anything.

This time I am determined to loose the weight I have put on when I stopped smoking 4 months ago as well as a fair bit more - I still can't believe I am now a non smoker and I am now putting that determination into my eating to loose weight

Wishing you all the success in your weight loss - Go on you can do this!!!

I am nearly at the end of my first week, can't wait to get on those scales to see the figures, just hoping I have been good enough to see a loss

Hiya, I don't know how many times I have started again but it just shows that you are not willing to give up and that's a positive. I'm going to take 1 day at a time and take it from there. Xx

This forum is great for support, everyone is so positive and have plenty of suggestions to keep you motivated and on track.

I am sure a lot of us are on our umpteenth attempt at permanent weight loss, so you are not alone.

I find that I get bored with the same old healthy recipes, but there are some great ones on this site (somewhere), so check them out too.

Good luck in your weight loss journey!
