Hey I'm a loose it gain it, all or nothing girl. This time trying to do things differently a little bit of everything, have being doing this for the past week & I'm down 2lbs. Smaller portions walking loads of water. Haven't a lot of weight to loose but want to get healthier. On this to keep motivated.

Hello 🌻 I'm sure one of the admin team will be along to welcome you in a bit!

I've found that for me it's about a long term plan to eat well, I downloaded MyFitnessPal to count calories (which also made me realise how bad my portion distortion was!!) as well as the 12 week plan on here and all the fabulous support on this forum!

Good luck on your journey 🌷

Hi and welcome, step-by-step

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
