Hi. Just joined this forum. Shocked how much weight I need to lose. I'm in for a long long journey!!

It's a long journey for most of us, if not all. You're not alone. Welcome and good luck!

It's really daunting, but give it a go. Keep checking the site if you feel it's going well or not so well. I've found it great help this week and kept going. I've got 6 stone at least to lose, but have set my sight on about 3 to start with. Loads of help and motivation on here. I'm only 1 week in and still up for the long long journey. Good luck

Don't even think of the whole amount. Set yourself a mini goal and work towards that and then reassess. That way you can celebrate success!

Welcome! Never mind - long journeys start with small steps. You have made the first by joining, now just keep going and enjoy the view as your scales go down. Best of luck.

Hello Allisonw ☺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. ☺ Try not to worry too much about how much you have to lose, slow and steady wins the race in my book ☺

The forum has weigh in threads on 6 days of the week that you are welcome to join, as well as regular challenges and progress 'badges' including a 'Newbie' one for when you first join the forum. If you would like one just ask ☺

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
