Hello

[PlusPrincess]

Hi

I have 7 stone to lose and have high cholesterol and and am pre-diabetic so I really need to do something about my lifestyle.

I have tried most diets lose weight and pile it all back on with a few extra lb too.

I am hoping that this time I will finally be able to do something about my health and weight as it is really getting me down xx

Hi. I wish you luck on your new healthy lifestyle. Don't look at it like a diet, it needs to be a permanent lifestyle change.

Thank you it all seems so daunting at the moment but I have to start somewhere xx

Get your mind ready for the change. You will feel so much better when you have got into it.

Hi PlusPrincess

Welcome to the weigh loss forum.

If you download the NHS 12 week plan it includes a blank diet sheet for each week. Also have a look at the Daily Diary post for ideas with your meals.

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. I have printed the plan out but haven't had a look at it yet. I will have to have a good read through the site dx

Have you read the "8 week Blood Sugar Diet' book by David Mosely. Or you can google '8 week Blood Sugar Diet'. You might find some if that interesting and helpful. I bought the book from Sainsbury's for £3.99. Good luck with improving your health 😊
