Thank you for your kind support. I'm not quite sure why I posted this this morning. I have been registered for ages but not actually posted anything. I will make sure I don't eat too much today as a way of acknowledging the kindness you have shown. I hope you have a good day. Having done a good turn for me you deserve one!

Thank you Snowy! I've already had a lovely time today; had a lovely ramble in the Mendips with a walking group I belong to, so apart from the wonderful sights of spring I have had the bonus of burning off a few more calories!

Have a great weekend and if you haven't already downloaded the NHS 12 week plan, why not give it a start this weekend! Good luck with your weight loss programme.

Hello Snowy333 and welcome back to the weight loss forum ☺ Well done on maintaining a loss of over stone, thats not easy ☺

As few things have changed since you were last on here, so I'll give you the Newbies Welcome.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and 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 ☺

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for ☺

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 ☺

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page, You are very welcome to join todays Feelgood Friday weigh-in hosted by myself today ☺

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you may have a 'Newbie' badge. If you have any questions or would like a Newbie badge please just ask ☺

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 ☺

Best wishes

Anna
