So, I've just signed up, so step one has been done.

Now for step 2....to sort myself out, a much bigger job than step 1!! 😊

Hi clarestu and welcome.

Some may argue that the hardest step is always that first one Well done in making it and for coming here.

An administrator will reply later and supply you with a road map on how you may be able to proceed and also on how you may get the best from this site.

Wishing you well on your journey.

Welcome! I think step 1 is the hardest! And step 2 is just the start of a journey, on which you aren't alone. Well done for starting!! There is a weekly weigh in group for every day. If you want to join the Sunday group look out for the weigh in thread in the news feed (or in 'events') and reply to the thread to join. Fab formmotivation and accountability. Best of luck for your first week

welcome to the forum- you will get a lot of support and help here. Its all about making small changes gradually in your covering diet, food choices and exercise, so they become a new way of life for you helping you to maintain your weight loss. people are on different types of diet such as Diabetic diet, 5:2 or various versions of this, calorie counting such as the NHS 12 week weight loss plan, weight watchers programme and numerous others. Its what works for you to loose weight and more importantly once you get to your target weight to maintain the weight. There is a risk if the change is not embedded in your life that once you reach your target weight you go back to what you did before you decided to loose weight and the bad habits creep back in as well as the weight gain!

Hi and welcome, Clare

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
