Hi my name is nikki. I also been struggling with my weight. I've tried different things but end up getting bored of eating the same things an lose motivation especially if I haven't really seen much results. I need to lose weight for my own health and this has also been getting me really down. I need help and motivation to in changing my lifestyle x

Hi and welcome, Nikki

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 NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success 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 and you would be very welcome to join today's, or any other, bar Monday and Tuesday, which are unfortunately full. 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 spent a bit of time 'researching' on various supermarket websites for food and meal ideas. I've also googled meal ideas and food prep. I'm vegetarian so don't want my food to be bland and I've come across loads of ideas. I'm only into the start of week 3 of my calorie counting diet and have had quite a few different meals. There's also meal ideas/plans on the NHS website which are varied.

No need at all to eat the same things when eating healthily. Look at the pinned posts for advice about how to get started, then treat yourself to the Hairy Dieters recipe book. You will never get bored with the same old thing ever again, I guarantee you! 😊

Thank you. I will do x

Hi Nikki

Well done for making a start☺

I would say try to plan out your week in advance (e.g. meals and physical activity ) if you can and then you can tick off your achievements at the end of the week.

Stay positive! ☺
