Hi Funty

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

We are a friendly forum with lots of members who will help support and motivate you along your weight loss journey. No need to feel alone here.

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.

Funty you are most definitely not alone now. People on here are so lovely and caring. You will get lots of support. Best way to do that is be active on the forum, join in posts and get involved in the challenges.

Can't see why you list lack of motivation when you were motivated enough to find the set and join up-I would count that as a success. Will power can be turned into won't power-what is it that you won't do? I had a massive health scare and now I won't eat anything that isn't good for me. Maybe you won't buy crisps anymore, they used to be my nemesis, but not anymore. Start with one or two things to change and then you will have some more successes to add to your collection. Nothing breeds success like success and you are in charge of your successes- make yourself proud.

Welcome and good luck.
