Hi parrisno5
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 parrisno5
I have about the same to lose, and have been reading this forum for a long time and posted my first post just now! This is a very motivating place to be with so much advice, information, good will, encouragement, etc. I too have had enough with slimming clubs, plans, 'diets' and what not, and a sensible slow-but-sure approach has to be the way to go.
I lost about 21 pounds last year by simply calorie counting and then fell off the wagon and put a stone back on over the summer, but I am stubborn and b.minded about so many other things in life and so am trying to apply that principle to losing the weight too :).
Lots of good luck with your journey

Snap and with added work stress :(. I have discovered I'm an emotional eater
Seems like I got to 40 and everything has dropped off (except the weight) lol I tried to loss weight so many times but slip back to old habits far to easily as I have no willpower. This time for me feels different somehow. I'm not setting a target that I find impossible to reach I want to feel healthier and losing weight is a bonus. I think the nicer weather spurs you on to so best of luck xxx
