Hi.

I've just downloaded the 12 week plan, going to start on Monday. I lost 2.5 stone last year with a slimming group and have managed to keep it off since May but could really do with loosing at least another stone but I don't want to be on a diet forever! Hoping this will help me learn to eat sensibly because I can be a bit greedy at times especially with sweet stuff 😕

I'm 54, 5' 4" and currently weigh 11stone 3lbs. I do lots of walking and have a cross trainer that I use 4 times a week. I also do a kettlebell workout twice a week and try to do yoga daily.

Looking forward to meeting you all

Hi and welcome, Shawj

Well done for losing 2.5st and maintaining that weight for 8 months, that's a terrific achievement!

We run daily weigh-in sessions and you would be very welcome to join, on Monday. 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

Hi Shawj,

I am just doing the same, downloading the 12 week plan. I am starting on 10th January, no reason for the 10th, just liked the sound on it and had to pick a starting point. Good luck. Look forward to following your success story.
