New and Looking for weight loss support

[kourtniejoi]

Hello everyone, I have recently gained 70lbs that I am desperate to lose. I have tried enough fad diets, and I am not eager to try another one. I would love to be apart of a network of people who are just as motivated to lose weight as I am.

Thank you. I think that this may be just the type of support that I am looking for.

Hi welcome to the weightloss forum.

Start by weighing yourself and doing all your measurements.

Then check out your BMI on the NHS calculator, this will give you your daily calorie allowance. You might want to download a fitness app to log them. Many people use My Fitness Pal, I personally use Lose it!. They're both free on the App Store.

Check out the welcome newbies thread in the pinned posts area - lots of useful info there.

Looking forward to seeing you around.

Good luck 🍀

Hello. Nice to meet you. This forum is a lovely place to follow the diet that suits you, a lot of honest people sharing their ups and downs and moving towards a healthy bmi/weight. Have you found the 12 week plan to help start you off. It helped me lose 14lbs. But whether you lose weight quickly or slowly I have found this place to be really supportive. Good luck. 😀
