Hey there! Just wondering if there is a group for people with not loads to lose? Need to shift the weight but not massively. Also anyone know any reputable sites where you can see what your weight should be for your height? Thanks !

Hello sarahdoll and welcome to the weight loss forum ☺

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 ☺

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker, this will tell you your optimum weight and suggest a daily calorie target. It doesnt matter how much weight you've have to lose, it can be every bit as difficult 😕

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

Hi Sarahdoll,

I am only trying to lose about 12lb, but it is coming off so slowly! I think those with more to lose see a greater weekly loss to start with, then it gets slower and harder to shift those last few pounds. But onward and downward! Wheether you have 10 stone or 10lb to lose, you are in the right place! We are a friendly and supportive bunch.

It was a 'ten minute' exercise DVD. I quite enjoy exercise, I look forward to distressing in this way. My problem is I still eat!!!

wow, and you can already see results by just doing 10 mins a day?! That would suit me just fine! It is called 'ten minutes'?
