Hi Heather,

Welcome to the NHS Weight Loss Forum here on HealthUnlocked - this forum is a great place for support, motivation and inspiration to lose weight.

Take a look at the NHS 12 Week Plan, it contains recipes and exercise plans to follow for the first twelve weeks of your journey.

Take a look at the left of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile device) and find the 'Pinned Posts' section, here you can find various challenges that are going on in the forum (take part in whatever ones take your fancy - if any do at all!), there is also a recipe collation there and any important posts from Admin

Also to your left is the 'Topics' area, here you can find posts related to each topic, it's good if you are looking for something specific

The Monday Group Weigh In takes place weekly and is posted alternately by Zest and moreless (I suggest you follow them, they are also our site admins), a morning session post is put live just before 06:30 and runs until midday, while the afternoon session runs from midday until 18:00 on the Friday of that week - the Afternoon session from the Monday just passed is still open, and is until 18:00 tomorrow, so why not go over and post your starting weight there?

All that remains is to wish you a great first week on the forum - be involved because it's where we get our boost each day

Hello and welcome Heather197297 😊I hope you have had time to read the newbies page etc as suggested by Rob. I also recommend the challenges that lowcal mentioned 😊

I also cannot run m, or do much exercise due to chronic arthritis but I like to walk and have an exercise bike 😊 If it's wet I like Lesley Sansome walking videos on you tube 😊

Good luck and best wishes
