Hi and welcome, Dog

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 Dog

Well we are all here for the same reason so you are in good company. I find it best to plan my menus and try and stick to them with healthy recipes and also trying to do more exercise on the basis that less going in and more coming out must result on weight loss.

Good luck

When I first joined I was always struggling with diets and was always the one to have eaten the least but was always the one to put the weight on out of friends and family. I found out on here that I was not eating enough calories I as I should have to safely lose weight. To get this amount you should check out the NHS bmi calculator and this will give you some personal amounts you should eat in between. If you don't eat somewhere in between this amount your body thinks you are starving it and turns what you do eat into body fat instead and this weighs more than it would to eat the extra calories does so you sometimes put weight on and don't lose any. Please don't make this same mistake as I did this for years. Good luck with your journey.
