Need to get rid of this excess weight, can't fit into so many clothes or my motor biking gear, the hardest thing is the motivation and even sticking to healthy eating

Hi and welcome, Lambethgel

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, then 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

Take a look at the 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. 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'd be very welcome to join us. 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

Know the feeling - it's so frustrating having clothes you can't use! I'm trying to learn to reward myself with other things besides food as I am a bit of a comfort eater. Hope you find the site useful, I only joined today and I've found it incredibly supportive already. Good luck

For every pound of weight you lose put some money in a tin, then treat yourself to something new when you hit your healthy weight.

That's a great idea, I'll try that, thanks
