Hi Shauna,

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

Firstly, congratulations on the birth of your new baby

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 the 'Welcome Newbie' post, 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 - it'll be running as usual this coming Monday, so, if you wish, you can go 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

Hi Shauna,

Welcome, See Rob has given you great advice on how to get started. You are going to meet so many wonderful people if you stay involved and ask questions along the way. You will have plenty, read the post they are very informative on how others are doing. A great tool is to drink 8-8oz glasses of water a day. Congat's on the birth of your child. Get out and walk the stroller when possible for exercise. Watch some exercise on TV and work out them and get involved.

Hi Shauna. Congratulations! Its hard finding time and energy when they are little. Download the NHS easy meals app s it has lots of easy suggestions. How about batch cooking some things to stick in the freezer? Bolognaise, curry, casserole. You could also freeze tiny portions for weaning. Annabel Karmel does great family recipes and the Faye Ripley family cookbook is brilliant. Jacket potatoes, pasta and eggs are my easy go to meals. Be kind to yourself as your baby is still little and it takes time (well it did and still is for me!). Walk wherever you can, park, shops and little by little you will get there. Good luck.
