Hello

[SilverK]

Hoping this will help my constant battle with my weight. Having lost nearly a stone last year, I relaxed and put it all back on. I find I need to exercise to lose and maintain, but how when you're not well? (Nothing major, just annoying recurring viruses) Not quite got to grips with where to find stuff on here, but here we go!

Hi SilverK

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.

You are not the only one on here who has seen the graph go up as well as down! Never look back, just forwards to a happy, healthier future. Work out what areas of life are putting you under pressure; take action where necessary. Make plans to get active as often as possible and eat sensibly, to help you feel more in control.

Hi SilverK it does take a while to find your way around but well worth it when you do. I think you are right about relaxing/regaining. I reckon going for a lifestyle change so that you get used to eating the foods that work with your body is a good way to go. No longer being on a diet, healthy eating for life.

You will find lots of helpful advice, hints and tips on the forum. Join in the conversations and I am sure you will be motivated by others.

Take care and good luck.
