Hiya Ah123 and welcome.

That's fantastic what you've done already. One of the admins will post some very useful information for you later and when they do, you can immediately ask them for a 1 stone badge (similar to my 5kg one). If you want that is!. Then you've only got to knock another pound off and you can ask them for a 2 stone one. Badges all round :)

You've come to a great site containing lots of encouraging and helpful people with lots of experience and knowledge and at every stage of weight loss and exercise.

You're doing great so just keep doing it.

Hi and welcome, Ah123 :)

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 :)
