Hi Ospreys1

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

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

Try free from range foods and salad.and use fitness pal app from the app store.this will help with weight loss also any sugar you may need have fruit. That way you can add or take away what you need .I had difficult time for awhile for a different reason.now I'm almost at the goal I set.it takes time .but will help give this a try.cut potato, pasta pastry's,ect.and milk and sugar from drinks .try for 2 wks

Hi Tim and welcome! I am wondering whether you have heard of the Blood Sugar Diet? You may find that particularly useful?

Here's a post I shared a while back: healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Perhaps have a look at The Blood Sugar Diet, too, along with the 12 week plan. It's can work well as a way for controlling diabetes.
