A long way to go...

[Kittynibu]

Hi I'm kittynibu and am new to this community. I have had several failed attempts at weight loss and really hope that with support and motivation I will see a difference this time. I am a breastfeeding mum therefore not sure how much I can diet. I'm looking forward to being more active as I am awful at that. However eating habits are more or less healthy except for snacking on junk which is my area of weakness. I have a long way to go and have to lose 6st 8lb to be a healthy weight. I really hope I persevere and don't give up this time.

Hi Kittynbu, one of the administrators will be along shortly to point you in the right direction, but in the meantime Welcome! You've made the first step on your road to better health. I started at the beginning of the month with 6 stone 3 lbs to lose. 10 lbs gone so far and I can see and feel the difference. Try not to keep junk in the house, then you can't snack. And if you're sick of starting again, stop giving up ...xx

Hi Kittynibu , you have come to the right place. This is a great forum, everybody is very friendly and there is lots of good advice. When you get time have a good read through some of the posts, you will find them encouraging. Many of us have had failed attempts you are not alone. As Minniewinny says, enjoy your baby, they grow up far too quickly. Two of mine are having babies of their own this year - I can't quite believe it.😊

Hello Kittynibu and welcome to the weight loss forum ☺

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. I'm going to tag Hidden as she has experience of breastfeeding and weight loss. Dont 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 ☺

The majority of our daily weigh-in's are now full, but we still have spaces in Thursday and Saturday, which you'd be very welcome to join. 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 ☺

Best wishes

Anna

Thank u Minniewinny, ANewMe2017, lucigret and Anna61 for your words of encouragement. I have been reading posts and replies since yesterday and really feel positive and happy that I have found a place where I can share my wins and dips and stay focused. I am planning to take up the 12 week plan and also the C25K challenge. I might start with brisk walking as I am unsure that I can run yet :(. I aim to lose 2lb by next Thursday and really hope I can achieve it.

Hi Kitty, to tag another member, type @ followed by their name, with no space between. You'll get a drop down and you just need to click on the correct person. You may need to scroll down sometimes, in order to see them

I shall tag Minniewinny , ANewMe2022 , lucigret and IndigoBlue61 , so that they are aware of your reply to them
