My First Day

[Diesse]

This is my first day on this diet or healthy eating plan. I have recently had a spinal fusion so at the moment I can do core strengthening exercises only. Five years ago I lost 4 stone on a drink and eat diet and was more on the too skinny chart. Now, having little exercise and eating more, I need to lose the 4 stone that has crept on.

Hi and welcome, Diesse

We're really pleased that you've chosen to join us today and would be interested to know how you found out about Health Unlocked and this forum.

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 aware, 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 Diesse ,

I just wanted to say how relaxed and content you look in the photo - it looks like an idyllic place.

I'd like to wish you success with your goal to lose that 4 stone which has crept on - you've been successful before, and you can do so again. I know you're recuperating from your spinal fusion, so hope that the recuperation process goes well, and you cope ok with your core strengthening exercises.

Have a lovely weekend.

Zest
