Hi I'm new here got about 7 stone to loose so hoping that this can help me.

Hi! Welcome. I know 7 stone feels like a lot now - it did when I started. You could think of it in smaller bits and give yourself a nice non food reward for each half stone or stone. What sort of rewards might be good for you?

Hi and welcome, Salsera

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

Hi and welcome to the weight loss forum Salsera I would definitely break down the 7 stone you want to lose into smaller goals and reward yourself each time you have achieved this. Good luck with your weight loss journey

I am currently losing weight for my wedding. I have been following Slimming World for the last 3 weeks but instead of attending the classes I have been weighing in at my mum's house because I am saving for my wedding and I am in the process of moving. I have lost 4lbs in the last 3 weeks so I think I am doing OK.
