Hi Besom21 well done for logging on. You're starting your healthier eating again starting today?

Plan to succeed... Ensure you have breakfast to keep you satisfied up till lunchtime, then drink maybe a pint of water ahead of your lunch to help fill your tummy.

Once your business lunch and work day is completed...

Check your BMI and if you calorie count ensure you use the NHS range advised.

Plan your meals for the week, check your cupboard and arrange your shopping list..

A fresh new start and and a healthier you. You know you can do it as you lost some weight last year... 😃

Cheering you on 🎉🎉🎉

Welcome back Besom

I'm going to start you off like a newbie, because I think you need a fresh start and a fresh look at everything

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then 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.

Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. 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.

We run a weigh-in every day of the week and you'd be very welcome to join one of them. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the HOME page, bottom on a mobile.

We also run a Daily Diary, where we share our meal and exercise plans for the day. It's a great place to get ideas and to keep us focused. The link can also be found in Events.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

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.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey
