Got to make more effort

[Fatlass]

Hi all

Just found this site and signed up to see if this will motivate me to start eating a better diet and get moving. It is 3.20 am and I am awake sipping milk to try to relive acid reflux which I am sure is caused by excess weight.

So wish me luck and I look forward to getting fitter with you all.

Hi and welcome,

As a start avoid, pastry, dough, tomato based sauces, onion and garlic they are the worst for acid reflux, your doctor should be able to give you something to relieve it, but you are right since starting my healthy eating plan and losing weight I've needed the tablets less and less.

So short reply I've got to go to work

Someone from admin will welcome you probably in a bit, it is a little early, but have a look at the 12 week plan while you wait

Good luck

Omg I'm so sorry Fatlass but in my defence it was early and I was still half asleep 😱

I meant to say (sorry short reply) and (properly not probably) 😂😂 xx

Hi Fatlass you could be right. I have had a hiatus hernia caused by weight gain in pregnancy which causes acid reflux. I have to take daily dose of omporozzal

Hi and welcome, lass

I used to have acid reflux, but since losing the weight it's just a distant memory

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.

We also run a Daily Diary, where we share our meal and exercise plans for the day. It's a great place to get ideas and to keep us focused. The link can also be found in Events.

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
