Hi and welcome, Dee

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

I told myself that loads of times and ended up not losing weight. In September last year I told myself again and this time my body has heard me! You can do it too! Good luck and welcome.

I would try so many diets and eat healthily and then give up.

there was a point where I actually was loosing weight but that was because I starved myself and I don't want to have that kinda life, I want to make this my lifestyle of eating healthy

[dee-]

well I would like to actually start eating smaller portion sizes during the day of healthy fulfilling food rather than skipping meals and then binge eating , any advise you would like to leave me with ?

Hello and welcome dee- 😊

From what you have said, my advice is check your bmi and find the right target calories for you. Eating enough is vital to prevent hunger and bingeing 😊

Also try to think long term, one pound a week is over 4 stone in a year 😊

Best wishes

Anna
