Hi and welcome, beautician

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news

Have a look at the 12 week plan, as many people have been successful with it. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate

We run daily weigh-in's, but Monday's and Tuesday's are full. You would be very welcome to join any, between Wednesday and Saturday and the threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page, bottom on a mobile.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

I've started slowly. Need to loose several stone, but no jogging yet. Doc said swimming. Also dropping off food slowly - something off the menu each week - cakes - puds - bread . You have to WANT to do it and I got to wanting to instead of needing to.

[bitchinbeautician in reply to Calvados]

I totally agree, I ditched most bread, cake and anything too treat like and instead I usually start my day off with a kale smoothie it a salad sandwich and I read a good way to kurb cravings at night is a glass of water and a handful of almonds, and also changing my milk to almond milk 🥛 🙂🙂
