Hi, welcome! I hope you find the forum supportive and useful. I certainly do. My tip would be to be honest with yourself about what you're eating and start again immediately if you go off track. Weigh yourself, measure everything and be proud of every successful hour, day, week. Good luck!🤞👗
Hi and welcome, Sister-B
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 Sister-B I think the NHS 12 week plan is brilliant, I use MyFitnessPal to track calories and plan my meals. My top tip is to make sure you drink plenty of water and I drink peppermint tea to help stave off the munchies - mainly because it makes everything else taste revolting!!! Good luck on your journey 🌺
I'm doing the 12 week plan too, starting Monday! Good luck to you
