Hi and welcome, Cass

Congratulations on your forthcoming nuptials

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, welcome! How exciting to have a wedding to look forward to. You are doing well with your exercise but if you aren't losing weight then I think you will need to eat less calories. Good luck, you can do it!

Fantastic news that you are getting married

Good luck with your weight loss journey

Hi Cass606 Congratulations on your engagement and forth coming wedding... Florida.. that will be exciting!!

Did you record your measurements before you started? You may remain the same weight but be loosing inches. Don't be discouraged... you will receive lots of encouragement on here, with trusted advice shared.

Are you eating enough to loose weight is the other query? Check the advice given and don't be afraid to eat the recommended range on the NHS BMI calculator. Wishing you success... Be active on here too... You will get there!!

Hi there, I am worried that you might not be eating enough calories to lose weight. Make sure you check on the bmi calculator at how many calories you should have to lose weight. When I first joined here and any other diet I did I never seemed to lose weight. I mentioned it here like you have and someone said to me that this was why I wasn't losing weight. If you don't eat enough calories your body thinks that you are starving it and turns what you do eat into body fat instead to ensure it can continue. This weighs more than calories do so this is why you don't lose weight. I started eating more calories to the amount stated in the bmi calculator and then started losing weight. I have now lost 1st12lbs. Good luck with your journey.
