Hi My name is Caroline. I am 53 annd desperate to lose weight. I am calorie counting at the moment. I started off at 14 stone 12 and am now 13 stone 8. My goal is to be 11 stone 7. It seems so far away but I will do it. I need to lose weight for health reasons but also I am sick of looking and feeling the way I do.

Hiya Caroline and welcome to the forum. We are very friend!y and supportive here. Take a look at the welcome newbie thread and feel free to join in any of the challenges and weigh ins. Can I just tell you that I am 14 stone 2 or there abouts so you have done well to be 13 stone 8. I can't wait to have a 13 at the start of my weight. Thank you for posting and I look forward to hearing from you soon. Xx

Hi Caroline,

Welcome to the NHS Weight Loss forum - it's a great place to gain support, motivation and inspiration to lose weight :)

Take a look at the NHS 12 Week Plan, it's great to follow :D

Take a look to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile device), you'll see the 'Pinned Posts' Section, this is a collation of all of the challenges, important posts and recipe ideas on the forum. Take part in whatever challenges you want to :)

Also to your right (bottom if on a mobile) is the topics section, all of the related posts to that particular 'topic' is collated here. You can add topics to your post, when you post them :D

The Monday Group Weigh-In is posted every Monday alternately by Zest and moreless (They are also our approachable site admins), if you 'Follow' them, you'll be notified when they post the thread :D You'll recieve a reply from one of the Fab 5 and it's a great place to be motivated for the week :) The morning session is posted just before 06:30 and runs until midday. The afternoon/evening session runs from midday until 18:00 on the Friday of that week. It'll be running tomorrow, why not come and check in with us?!

Finally, all that remains is to wish you a great first week on the forum! Be active here, as it's where we get our motivation and inspiration.

Rob :D

Hi and welcome Caroline

I started the NHS 12 week plan last week - and and doing ok - I have not done calorie counting before, so learning curve for me

I wish you all the best on your journey and am sure you will find help and support from this forum :)

Thank you so much. Good luck to you too. Cx
