Hey marc1966uk and welcome. Congrats on the weight loss, you've already knocked a sizeable amount off your overall target.

You seem to be doing really well on the weight loss side of things so not sure I can offer anything else of value but in terms of getting back into shape, there is the couch to 5k (c25k) challenge. I can't comment personally because I'm currently limited on what exercises I can do but a number of people here are involved in it.

Good luck!

Morning marc1966uk

Welcome to the weight loss forum. Well done on losing 22lbs you are doing fantastic.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbies post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if on a mobile. 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 on the days when the scales don't move.

We have daily weigh ins 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 in Events and state your starting weight and any loss/gain or maintain over the week.

To get the best out of the forum be active, share experiences, tips and recipes. Read some of the posts in the Topic section, they can be motivating.

Hi Marc

It sounds as if you're doing what works for you already😃

I think in terms of exercise it would be advisable to get medical advice before starting anything due to the copd - just to be on the safe side😃

You're doing brilliantly- keep up the good work😃😃😃
