Hi Sue, I just joined yesterday, welcome

I have 4 stones to lose still but have been stuck for a few months so trying really hard now but it's hard as I've got into bad habits that I'm trying to break x

Hi @SueAF

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 SueAF

I've got lots and lots of weight to loose, since joining this forum I've lost nearly a stone and half. Motivation to exercise, the fact that your joints ache less and you can manage that little bit more as the weight comes off......weight loss, easier exercise, easier exercise, do more so more weight loss.

That my take on motivation

Best of luck, there's lots of us😁

I find if you try to loose between half a pound and a pound a week the weight comes off and stays off but crash dieting where you loose over 2lbs a week doesn't work. I have been dieting for a year and a half now and have lost 50lbs this way.
