Hi and welcome, Dean :)

Fortunately, it's very possible to lose weight, without being able to exercise much and many of our members have mobility problems. This may be of use to you

google.co.uk/url?sa=t&rct=j...

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 :)

Hi Dean, welcome! You will get lots of support here. Having mobility issues is not a bar to losing weight so don't worry too much. As you lose weight you might find that you are able to do more than you can now ( depending on what your mobility issue is).

Best of luck and as minniewinny said read lots and get involved. The daily diary is a great start.

I joined this forum last year with a goal of 2 stone to lose I had mobility problems as I was awaiting a hip replacement I couldn't exercise at all but I have nearly got to my goal only a few more pounds to go

I did it by counting calories I really didn't think I would do it without exercise so I'm over the moon

Wishing you all the very best
