Hi geryates

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.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

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 today. 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.

Hope you had a great time. Travelling is always worth it and I wouldn't worry about the weight gain while you were there! You can lose it now if you want, slowly will do the job.

have you got a special occasion or date you could aim for ? i find that works for me as i set myself monthly goals to aim for.... but as EllaMidlands says slowly is the best way to go x good luck with finding your motivation x

Three months away and only 8 lbs sounds commendable to me. Many people gain that on a fortnights holiday!. From your photo, I'd guess you ate a healthy diet before, so chances are your weight will drop automatically now you're back to normal routine. But if not, try the 12 week plan for guidance and those 8 lbs will probably not take long to lose.
