Morning Samsmam

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your 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 together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

We have daily weigh ins so why not come along and join us. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

To get the most of the forum be active, share tips, recipes and experiences. Read some of the posts they are very motivating.

Have a good first week.

Hi samsman, I am new to it as well and my top tip is to get organised. I have had the last week off, so time to weigh food (and have chin hit floor at how many calories are in my usual portion size) and calculate the number of calories in meals I eat regularly - who knew there are 67 calories in the amount of buttery spread I use on a sandwich! The scales are on the kitchen top, with some paper, a pencil, a dish to weigh food (and drink) in. Am considering a calculator for working out calories but it is an opportunity to exercise my brain - win-win!! I have just over 1.5 stone to lose - wish you all the best with it. Justine
