Just Starting

[mhairi7999]

I am struggling a bit and I need help to kick things off.... does anyone have a generic weekly meal planner made up that I could maybe see or tweak? maybe a shopping list too... these are things that I find really useful when starting out and feeling a bit overwhelmed....

Morning mhairi7999

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Have a look in the Topic section under "Recipes/Meals/snacks" you might find some meals you like there.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side of the screen or if your on a mobile at the bottom. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Take your measurements at the start along with a photo so you can see the changes when the scales don't move.

We have weigh-ins every day so why not come and join us. You can find the weigh-in on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post and state your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

To get the best out of the forum be active, share experiences, tips and recipes. Read some of the posts they can be very inspiring and motivate you along the way.

Have a great first week.

Rose

Sorry mhairi7999 i don't quite keep thing in that format but I am sure someone else will.

I have used the NHS calorie counter to develop a spreadsheet so that I can work out calorie in my recipes which I log on MyFitnessPal. I keep my recipes in a really clever App called Paprika which you can add nutritional notes to and will also create a shopping list.

Whatever the way forward enjoy your journey, make it an amazing adventure.
