Hi All

[Sopharies]

Hi, I am Sopharies. I am 46 years old and am once again trying to lose weight. I will be starting my diet tomorrow.

I feel i really need some support for this as i struggle to keep motivated to lose weight, but i don't want the expense of a support group.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

All the best !!!

Hi Sopharies

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.

Rose

hi, im starting tomorrow to, i got all my food in for the week and weighed the amounts ready, after years of not weighing i was shocked to find out i was 3 stone over weight, i am now determined and after finding this site, we are not alone, good luck and hopefully we will get slim soon.

Hi Gaynor

i am probably 4-5 stone overweight for my height. I lost about two stone about 3 years ago after a years illness, and have slowly put it on. My biggest problem is that i comfort eat when i am feeling low. As i am a very emotional person also, this can be quite a lot!.

I am determined to get there somehow.

Good luck to you too

Good luck with starting.. im 45 and also struggled all my life with yoyo dieting. i started on this forum in december and im still here 4mths later. This forum has taught me that this isnt a diet its a way of life and it doesnt matter if you dont lose every week because our bodies cling onto weight at certain times of the month but the weight does come off eventually if you give it time.... im averaging about 5lbs a month now and i accept that i lose slowly but ive never stuck to an 'eating & exercise' plan as long as i have this time and thats due to the support from this forum. Also i recommend getting yourself on a weighin day here as that really keeps you on track and get a cheer or a supportive hug when you need it !

you can do this xx.
