12 week Journey

[Mandi76R]

Hello all, I'm Amanda I'm just about to start my 12 week journey for the better it's going to be a long road, but at least the 12 weeks will help educate me to where I need to be. I need to undo years over over eating and being very unhealthy. Here's to new beginnings x

Morning Mandi76R

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Don't worry about how long it is going to take to lose the weight, look at it a bit at a time and it will come off. I take 7lbs at a time and now 9 months into my long journey I'm nearly 5 stone lighter so it can be done.

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.

Thank you Rose, a little bit at a time I'm going to do this,

to many yo yo diets that haven't gotten me anywhere, my bmi is through the roof according to the bmi chart I will need to loose 3/4 of my body weight. So I'm now in it for the long haul.
