Hi and welcome, mitchelada
You might like to have a look at this community too
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.
To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.
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
thank you for the info, I love the suggestion of "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" the last time that I register my weight was in march and I was 2 kg less than now... so sad!!! I want to be like in the pic!
Lovely picture mitchelada11 ! Don't worry about the thyroid - the good news is if you are on the right medication, there is no difference between you and anyone else wanting to lose weight. I have had an underactive thyroid since I was in my 20's, eek, that's over 40 years! And the bad news is, just like everyone else wanting to lose weight, you have to watch what you put in your mouth! Portion control, sensible eating (most of the time! two glasses of prosecco with friends at lunchtime today put paid to all my sensible resolutions!) and staying mainly within a calorie limit - those are the only things which really matter. I'm sure you can do it - we are here to support. Good luck!
thank you! True, I tend to forget how much affect the alcohol intake... I love the aperol spritz and the beer! I have to drink less of that. As you said, be more sensible with my eating and drinking!
