Hi and welcome, Rutie

What a lovely picture! You're going to be a beautiful bride

Go to the Pinned Posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile) and take a look at the Welcome Newbie thread. If you have any questions, look at the Topics below, to see if they'll help you out, or ask on the forum. Join any, or all of our challenges

We run daily weigh-in sessions and you would be very welcome to join, on any day, except Sunday. The thread can be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom if using a mobile.

Good luck with the 12 week plan and don't forget to take initial measurements and photos, as it's a great way of seeing just how far you've come, especially when the scales aren't co-operating fully

Wishing you all the very best with your weight loss journey

Congratulations Rutie on your wedding this September and for making the wonderful discovery of this forum.

You won't find a better bunch of kind, caring, thoughtful people who really do support each other.

We're all here for the same reason and understand how difficult it can be to get trim and healthy. The 12 week plan works. Good luck 🌸

Come September and you will shine bright!

Aim for Lifelong health and Sept can be one of the milestone in your journey to health and happiness.

Eat more and more fruits, specially in between meals so that low cal stuff occupies more space in your stomach. That will keep you healthy and fit.

Enjoy mindful eating, never eat with guilt. > zenhabits.net/what-is-mindf...

Get away from people who tend to overeat and overfeed you.

Go to parks and walk and run and enjoy nature.

Make your journey to fitness a Happy One.

Feel free to connect for any queries. I shall be happy to help.

All the best!!

Thank you everyone for all your kind thoughts, good wishes and support. I'm doing well so far and kept under the 1400 calories a day and keeping active. Trying to just look at one day at a time...
