3 weeks ago I was told I couldn't drive until my sleep anopea got better. Because of my weight I am in danger of having a stroke. It was a blow and I was stunned as although I am 14 stone I thought I was fit. I am determined to beat this and have started a food diary and eating properly. And looking after myself.

Morning Mymacmac

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Sorry to hear that you are not able to drive because of your sleep anopea, my brother in law had the same problem and after losing the weight he is now able to drive again. To help you with your food diary I think you would find the Daily Diary post very useful.

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.
