Hello

[Berry3]

Hello, I am starting on my weight loss journey today. I am feeling really positive, and would love support in keeping on track. 👍

Well done, Berry3. This is a great place for support - everyone is very kind and has loads of advice to offer you. Joining in some of the challenges is a good way to keep in touch, feel part of the group and get and give support as you go along.

Think of it as a healthy habit re-training plan rather than a diet. Good luck.

Hi Berry3 and welcome to the weight loss forum. It's a very friendly, encouraging and helpful site, where we are all on the same journey to health and where you'll get loads of support.

If you haven't already, please read the Welcome Newbies post. It's in the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen, (bottom if you're on a mobile). It has a link to the NHS 12 week plan, which is a great place to start. It doesn't give a specific diet plan, but gives guidelines for healthy eating. Also take a look at the Topics section beneath that, for posts that could answer any questions you may have. You may also like to check out how many calories you should have each day using the BMI checker.

Perhaps consider joining in our challenges, they're fun to do and help with motivation.

Join us for the Monday Group weigh-in. If you 'follow' Lowcal and moreless (our very approachable site Admins), you'll be notified when they post the threads. The latest weigh-in thread can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page. The weigh in is entirely voluntary, but I find it helps keep me accountable.

Be active on the forum, as that's where we exchange ideas and get our daily dose of motivation and inspiration. 😄

Enjoy the forum, and I wish you success with your goals.

Good luck 😀
