I have two weddings in 2018 so that's my aim to loose the weight

Hi and welcome, Geri

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 Geri and welcome.

Those are some great long term goals you've got there and you've given yourself a good amount of time to make a difference. You might want to set yourself a short term goal as well as it can often help to break the journey into manageable bite-sized pieces (pun intended). When that mini goal has been achieved, then you can set another.

Good luck on your journey and don't forget that because there's a helpful, friendly and informative group of lovely people here, you can post regardless of being happy, sad or whether you just have the odd question or observation.
