Admitted I've a problem

Hi All.

Finally admitted I've got a problem. Told the doc how heavy I am and I'm scared. Been trying to loose weight and nothing's happening. Bloods first then a referral to weight management.

Hi and welcome, Starcat

Well done for taking that first brave step, I'm sure you won't regret it

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 links 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 Hidden , Welcome to the forum.

Well done, you've just done the most difficult bit: admitting you've got a problem. Once you recognise things need to change you WILL change things. There may be a few set backs along the way, and sometime you'll put weight back on again, and maybe have a few bad days, but from now on, the new you is just starting!

Thanks. Just the words I needed to hear. Feeling Disheartened. Just been weighed and I've put more weight on despite sticking to my calorie intake. Hope this weather has something to do with it.

Food for today all sorted. Well within my calories. Hopefully loss next time!!!!
