Hello everyone, been recommended to use this site in my hope to lose a substantial amount of weight. Hopefully I have found the right place to get to the right weight 😊

Hi and welcome Will! I think you have found the right place if you are looking for massive and friendly support. I recommend the NHS 12 week plan. nhs.uk/LiveWell/weight-loss... worked like a charm for me If you are dreaming about becoming a runner, I also suggest you give the NHS Couch to 5K programme a go: nhs.uk/LiveWell/c25k/Pages/...

Good luck on your journey

Morning WillDoIt17

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.

Rose

Hi and welcome. I'm a newbie too but have already found everyone to be supportive and already have been given some great tips.

I'm sure you will find great ideas for recipes, exercises and general upbeat support

Hi and welcome, If its a large amount you need to lose make small goals say 7lb at a time and reward yourself with something non food related when you reach it.Then it doesn't seem so daunting. Good Luck.
