Hello

I'm new and trying to navigate my way around this site. I joined this site for information/tips on pain management and weight loss!

Hi and welcome, Livingwell70

It would be a good idea for you to join the pain concern community, as they'll be able to help with with that, specifically

healthunlocked.com/painconcern

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

Hi Livingwell70 and welcome.

Loads of info there from moreless to digest (no pun intended).

Plenty of helpful, friendly people here to provide advice or just an lend an ear.

I hope you find the information you need on pain management.

Good luck!

.Welcome to this lovely inspiring site... wishing you good luck on your journey of weight loss and pain management.. I'm kinda walking on the same road... pain does affect weight I am convinced so being kind to yourself along the way will need attention ... good luck..

Livingwell70 welcome to the most supportive forum there could possibly be. Pain is hugely debilitating, I hope you find some support from the link moreless posted.

It terms of weight loss I would suggest that you make sure you enjoy your journey, make it an adventure into new, healthy foods that you may not have tried previously. For me planning is key and making eating decisions up front. I find it much easier to say no if i have made it clear in advance that I do not wish to eat it-being clear with myself is probably the most important aspect of that.

Keep coming on the forum and joining in with the discussions/challenges that take your fancy.

Take care of yourself and good luck.
