Hi and welcome, Emma 
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
Sorry for your loss. You need to grief first then you can look at your weight loss plan.
Some of this may be because you are not eating enough at the moment. When I first joined I was only eating 2 meals a day so this was around 900-1000 Cals a day. I wasn't losing any weight. I was then told by someone on here that this was why I wasn't losing weight, my body would think I was starving it and was turning what I did eat into body fat to ensure it could continue. I started to eat the right amount of calories advised by the NHS bmi calculator to lose weight and have now lost 1st12lbs. Do make sure you are eating enough. Good luck with your journey.
Hi sounds draft I'm scared of eating more Incase I gain weight
How did you feel when u started to eat the right amount?
Hi thank u for replying
I'm the same I'm not eating any were near that amount and find I seem to gain weight when I do eat more
I never released ur body can do store it x
I was worried about it but my husband said to me, none of your other diets work so what have you got to lose. Just try it for between 2 weeks and 1 month in case it takes a while for your body to adjust to the extra food and if it doesn't seem to work stop it. I decided to give it a go and I lost 1lbs in the first week. It was still better than the weeks before so I stuck to it and was continuing to lose weight every week to start with. There is the odd week that I maintain or put weight on but I still lose weight most of the time. I have even lost 2 or 3lbs some weeks too. Just not very often does this extra bit happen.
I found it a little awkward with eating the right amount of calories to start with as I was struggling to work out what to eat but the more I do it the easier it is getting to have the right amount.

Emma6 take a look at the link above (I do hope it worked, not very clever at forwarding links!) it will explain the reasons for eating more. It is scary at first but well worth a go.
I am sorry for your loss, after spending so much time buoying up the rest of the family, maybe it is time for you to spend some time on you. Not easy I know only too well, but have a go, you deserve it.
If the link doesn't work, please let me know.
Good luck😀
