Hi there everyone. I'm new here and have been following the 12 week plan since Tuesday 10/1/17. A few years ago my weight had crept up to 13 stone so I started seeing a health trainer and managed to drop 2st 4lb and plateaud at that . So I was weighing 10st 10lb with fluctuations of a few pounds up and down and not really watching what I ate, however, I am now up to 11st 3lb and would really like to shed 2st 3lb. I'm doing quite well with my calorie counting so far and hoping by Tuesday to see some sort of result. I would love to be 9st again and fit into a dress that I've kept all these years from when I used to be 9st. I'm not sure where on here you find the weigh ins either. Any advice would be hugely welcome. Thanks guys. :D

Hi MadmellyGT Welcome to the weight loss forum. Well done for keeping to your calories, the first week is always the hardest and you will see the results of all your hard work on Tuesday. Your dress you kept all these years is a lovely target to aim for.

Take a look at the "Welcome Newbies" post on the right hand side or at the bottom on a mobile. The post as some helpful links to nhs 12 week plan and BMI checker to work out your calorie allowance.

The weigh-ins are posted daily Monday to Saturday, just keep an eye out for the post.

Feel free to join in with any challenges, you will find them in the Pinned post section.

Enjoy your weekend.

I will do. Hoping there is progress, I've been pretty good so far, I know it's only been 4 days but to see at least a 1lb gone will be brill. :D

Hello and welcome MadmellyGT

I hope you have a good weekend and see the results on Tuesday ☺

Would you like a 'newbie' badge? That's the little grey box next to your name where mine says 'administrator' . You start with Newbie and then how much weight you've lost ☺ Just ask if you do ☺

Best wishes
