Hello Michelle and welcome to the forum.

An administrator will reply to this post and supply you with lots of useful information that will really help you on your journey. I personally would take special note on the NHS BMI calculator and the NHS 12 week plan which have helped me considerably since the day I joined.

Feel free to post any of your thoughts, feelings and questions at any time as there are lots of friendly people here willing to listen and to help.

Good luck on your journey!

Morning Shellyshort

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.

One You Tips

•To make a veggie version of this pie, use Quorn mince and vegetable gravy granules instead of beef.

•If your kids don't like pieces of courgette, try grating it instead so that it will not be noticed.

Enjoy
