Hello everyone,

My husband is attending a weight loss 12 week plan at our local hospital after having a heart procedure six weeks ago.

I too need to loose weight and get healthy so I thought I would join this forum and download the NHS apps. So far I'm

Amazed at the information that is on the site. When I bumped into this forum I had to sign up and introduce myself. I'm hoping that I will be inspired by all of the stories and weight loss tips on here.

I'm Helene by the way.

Looking forward to the start of my journey 💕

He Helene!

Welcome to this journey.

Some people take this journey on their own... while some people are pushed into it by their Doctors... Either way, you are in it so enjoy it to the fullest.

I can't say I am on weight loss journey because I have been maintaining my weight ( 155 lbs) for past 30 years.. now I am 50... but I can surely share my tips and 'Tricks;

1. Be patient.. slow and steady wins the race... be a tortoise not a rabbit.

2. Enjoy the journey, the ups and downs, the success and failures.

3. Most imp - Love yourself, love your body, love your being.

4. Love your food, don't hate food, but don't eat excess.

5. Surround yourself with nature.. fruits .. veggies.. salads.. and love every bit of it.

6. Love nature, walk into nature often.

7. Throw out all junk food. Stay away from people who over feed you.

8. Connect with fitness freaks, join more fitness groups

9. Never give up.

10. Be healthy and be happy
