Hi Sheepgirl17,

Welcome to the Weight loss NHS forum. 5-a-day refers to your intake of fruit and vegetables. You'll learn more if you download the NHS 12 week plan, it's easy to follow and regarding aerobic and strength exercises, maybe have a look at the NHS Fitness studio for some ideas?

A link to that is here:

I'd also recommend reading the Welcome Newbie post - that's in the Pinned posts area - right-hand-side of the homepage.

I'm just dashing off, but I hope these will be good starting points for you, and I"m sure you'll get more answers to your post.

Hope you enjoy the forum, and that you'll join in with anything you like the look of. The Pinned posts have more Challenges to consider as well, depending on your goals.

Enjoy your week.

Lowcal :-)
