Hi and welcome, Pam

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

You are active, what do you usually do that is active?

Ok walking 10.000 steps Dailey but need to control portion. Size.

Weakness is bread.

Don't smoke. 3 units of red wine 🍷 weekly but not every week.

Only eat fish.

Where am I going wrong

Are you eating enough calories every day. Before I joined this site I wasn't eating enough calories. I was informed that if you don't eat the right amount of calories you get told on the NHS bmi calculator you would not lose any weight because your body thinks you are trying to starve it and it turns any food you do eat into body fat. This is why people not eating enough weigh more because fat weighs more. Now I do eat more and I am finally starting to lose weight. I know it sounds strange but it does work.

Thanks the I took your advice.

I walked my 10.000 steps today in the sunshine. Came home and eaten superfoods as a little weary.

I hope I can keep this up for March

Long evening ahead at home so need to keep strong minded as evenings are my vulnerable hours

Hope your keeping on track

Hi all.

Just purchased a Fitbit to help me. Considered purchase I agree

But walked my achievement yesterday. Sleeping well staying on track. Maybe my confidence is returning

Just off for my walk now. Love to all March Hares x
