Hi all. introducing myself. I'm Sally and need to change the way I eat. I have 7 stone to lose. I have a long term illness which has made me not be able to walk very well, let alone exercise. I am on various types of medication which as not helped my weight gain.

But I am determined to achieve my goals.

Hi and welcome, Sally :)

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 NHS 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.

Be advised, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

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 Sally38

It looks as you have got to do it the Hard way. I Lost 3 Stone by Diet, Exercise and Portion control.

But you got to do it by Diet and Portion control. Lots of People struggle with Portion Size.

But 80 to 100g is a good start point. Plenty Fruit and Veg and None of the bad things ,Like Biscuits , cakes ,crisp. Good Luck.

Kind Regards Phil62
