Hi chunky 64 I have fibro as well but with following this forum I have lost 4st 5 lb, I started in October 2015 so it has been a long journey. I don't post much on the forum as I've gotten older I've lost a lot of confidence but I do look in every day and see how everyone is getting on . If you are able to join in I think you will find it really helpful. Try not to let your fibromyalgia keep you back, that's the reason I have been able to answer your post, if I can do it anyone can it's not all about exercise, you will get there by pacing yourself and being kind to yourself when you have a bad day. Remember even if you only managed a couple of days to start with it's a couple more than you've Been doing, good luck on your journey someone will be along shortly to let you know how the forum works

Hi and welcome, chunky

You've had a perfect response from rosie-2015 , so I hope that will give you the confidence you need to follow in her amazing footsteps

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
