BEGINNINGS

[mattybob1979]

I have battled my weight all my life, and whilst almost conquering it 16 years ago these last six years have seen me creep back to epic proportions. I need to sort myself out once and for all

You have come to the right place. Have you thought about where you will start? Im a newbie too and i looked at what my body needs for fuel, calorie intake vs out and my activity levels.

Maybe over Christmas start by looking at any food habits you've picked up - do you always have a biscuit with your cup of tea? Do you routinely have a snack when you sit down to watch TV? Can you cut out the Starbucks on the way to work and save up the money for something special? I join the kids in eating a pudding after dinner, but I'll try to stop it now. Wish me luck, and good luck to you too!

Hello mattybob1979 😊 Great photo!!

Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum. It’s great that you’ve joined. We are a very friendly group 😊

First place to look is at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a mobile) and have a look at the Welcome Newbies thread.😊 there is lots of info here, and links to the nhs12 week plan and also for checking your BMR and target calories 😊 it's important to eat enough so you don't get hungry or feel deprived 😊

If you feel confident then 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. 😊

It's also good to be active on the forum, that's where we exchange ideas and get our daily dose of motivation and inspiration.😊

Good luck

Hi, I am trying my best to lose 12 kilos. But my will power always drops to zero after the first week. How can you help me? Thanks.

You need to get your head in the right place, REALLY want to be fit and healthy, and find a way of eating that suits you and your lifestyle 😊

Have a read of the newbies post and some of the links 😊

Good luck
