Stuck in a rut

[Belle36]

I'm 18st 6lb immobile due to a spinal disease. And am struggling to loose weight and get healthy.

Just had a health scare was rushed to hospital and my bp is high white count is up and I'm at risk of a PE and diabetes so all in all not good!

So many factors affecting my health & mental health!

Stuck in a bit of a rut!

Hello Belle36 and welcome to the weight loss forum ☺

You are sounding at your wits end, but the good news is you don't need to exercise to lose weight, it's much more about what you eat. ☺

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. Mondays group is fully subscribed but you are welcome to join any other day ☺

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
