Getting started

[kentishbird77]

Hi, I weighed myself today and was shocked by what I saw. Am determined to get my weight down and to fit into some of my old clothes again. I have thyroid issues so not sure if this may be a hinderance.

Hi kentishbird77

Welcome to the weigh 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.

Hi kentishbird77 welcome to the forum, it is great on here as everyone is so friendly. You should always get answers to any questions that you have and you don't need to feel worried about anything you ask. I don't do much exercise at all and still manage to lose weight. It has taken me longer to lose my 2nd stone that it did to lose my 1st but at least I am still losing it, which I am really pleased with. Good luck with your journey.
