Moved to Spain

[Almandros]

Hi

We have moved to Spain and I'm gaining a pound a week.

The heat and lovely white bread leaves me less active. This must change

The Mediterranean way of eating is highly recommended for good health and weight loss. So you should have everything available there to enjoy it. The 12 week plan works, so give it a fair trail.

Wishing you success for your goals 🎉🎉🎉

Hi Almandros

Welcome to the weight 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.

Each time I go back home that lovely white bread kills me!! I'm going in July and I konw I don't have the will power!! LOL

What Minnie says is true, the Mediterranean diet is very healthy. Watch the olive oil-whilst healthy it packs calories-and delicious! Beautiful fruits and veg, great fish....Exercise is a must, though with the heat, it would have to be indoors or swimming.

Good look and enjoy
