Need to lose 3stone for health

Finding it hard to lose weight need inspiration 👍

Hi, welcome. Think what benefits you will get when you lose the weight. Will your blood pressure be lower? Will you be able to move about quicker and for longer? For everybody these things will be different. Why do you want to lose weight? Is it worth the struggle? When you have the answer to that you will have the motivation you need. I have lost weight for the first time in my life and feel amazing even tho I still have more to lose. If you want to do it, you can!

Thanks for your reply I know all the benefits I'll get I've always been fit and active until 3 years ago when I had a serious health scare. Put 4 stone on in that time have managed to loose a stone but still have 3 to lose. I can't do the things I used to do I get out of breath and blood pressure high so I'm determined its not just to look better its more getting myself back to feeling like the old me 😊

Brilliant, so you know all the benefits. I am sure the 12 week plan will give you the method then. You can do this, get your mind ready for the change in food choices and/or portions. I wouldn't worry too much about exercise yet, eating right is more important I believe.

Yes I agree eating healthy is better for weight loss I'm gonna try the 12 week plan need ideas of food choices and like u say portion sizes. Thanks

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.
