Just starting out today. I've tried various sliiming clubs over the past year and weigh more than when I started!! this seems like a sensible practical approach si I'm hoping I can make the changes I need to 😊

Hi Kamajo,

Welcome to the forum and you couldn't have come to a better place. Everyone is helpful and supportive and, you are right, the NHS 12 week plan is a simple, no fuss approach which has certainly worked for me when nothing else has.

Good luck x

The most important thing to focus on is that you haven't given up! put those other things behind you and move forward. You can do it! and if you find it isn't working, then you know you need to adjust something in your lifestyle it's about finding what works for you and sometimes that is a little bit of trial and error and a lot of learning as you go along!

Goodluck!

Hello and good luck! The 12 week plan is brilliant and it does work.

If you haven't already done so, I would download the free myfitnesspal ap to help you keep track of calories and exercise. It is really easy to use.

Enjoy getting fitter and slimmer!!!
