Hi, I am the heaviest I have ever been and not exercising. I have some physical limitations at the moment but nothing I can't work around. Looking to lose 10 kilos but happy to lose anything at all. Looking forward to the journey.

Good morning Showpony ☺ (what an lovely name ☺)

Welcome to the Weight Loss Forum ☺

Have a good look around the forum especially the Newbies post (in the Pinned Posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile) and also the links to the NHS 12 week plan weight loss plan. This is an excellent plan with weekly email support. ☺

The forum has weigh in threads on 6 days of the week that you are welcome to join, as well as regular challenges. I see you asked for your newbies badge in your other post which I have done ☺

Don't forget to take your initial measurements and photographs as it's a great way of seeing just how far you've come, especially when the scales aren't co-operating. ☺

We are a very friendly group so please ask if you have any questions

Best wishes

Anna

Good luck to you! Physical limitations don't stop you losing weight. You might just need to think more creatively about exercise.

Thanks for the push along Finberry, yes! I do need to just say yes to what I can do. Headed off to the pool this morning and did a pathetic no. of laps, but this is the first step, I will get back to where I was with fitness!

Just build up gradually. That's what I did. Be patient and good things will come.

Thanks for the encouragement. Have been to the pool 2 days in a row, first time for a couple of years, did better today than yesterday, yay. I'm in Australia, easy to go to the pool when it's very hot.
