Hi all
Just wanted to introduce myself. I am 54 and wanted to find something that would help me loose weight. I have been following the 12 week plan and am just starting week 5. During the past 4 weeks i have lost 10lb and would love to get back to size 12 clothes.
Well done, 10lb is an amazing weight loss. You might inspire me to try the 12 week challenge. I am going away for a week and wonder if that might cause me a difficulty - I guess I could just try my best that week. I would also love to get back to size 12, not too concerned what the numbers on the scales say if I could hit size 12.
Keep on with your very good work and stick with the forum. Everyone is so lovely and full of encouragement.
Hello lynvardon and welcome to the weight loss forum ☺ You have done really well, 10lbs is great ☺ You probably know your way around but in case you don't I shall give you the usual welcome ☺
The first place to look is 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 ☺
As well as the NHS 12 week plan, use the BMI checker to find your target calories, as it's important to eat enough. 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 ☺
The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, but they are quite busy. If you wish to take part Sunday is the quietest day but you are welcome to join any day. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the 'home' page, or at the very bottom (after all the posts) 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 ☺
You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you may have a 'Newbie' badge. If you have any questions or would like a Newbie badge please just ask ☺
Best wishes
Anna

Well done for losing 10lb ! I was at your stage last week . I'm due to start week 6 tomorrow and weigh myself. I'd like to get down to a size 12 too. How much would you like to lose in total?
