Intro

Hi Peepz. Hope u r all well. I'm new here. Was browsing the Internet and this page looked interesting! I am here to try and lose my belly fat (momma of 3) and eat healthily. Just can't seem to get the motivation

Good morning and welcome malcnmo.

You've definitely got some motivation because you've come here and well done for you, as this forum is full of lovely people who are more than willing to help motivate you on your journey.

An administrator will respond to your post and provide you with potential ways of moving forward plus an insight into what this forum has to offer. You're not expected to absorb it all in one go but it's worth reading through it in some detail to appreciate what is available.

Good luck on your new journey.

Hello Hidden and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and 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 ☺

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for ☺

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 ☺

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page ☺

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. 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. If you have any questions please just ask ☺

Best wishes

Anna

Hi malcnmo, well done for making those initial enquiries! You obviously ARE motivated to lose that weight otherwise you wouldn't be here. I liken that first step on the weight loss journey to standing on the edge of a swimming pool, daring yourself to jump in! You know you want to, but keep making excuses why you don't. One day SOMETHING will trigger you into making that giant leap, and once you're 'in' you will find lots of support from all the lovely folk on this forum plus all the information available on the site will be a great help. I made that giant leap, have achieved my goal but still here, because I know maintaining that nice slim look is going to need continued support, but there's no shortage of it on this forum.

Good luck on your weight loss journey!
