I am 90 kg , 169 cm. I can't control my eating habits. Really need to lose weight. Haven't exercised in 9 months. Don't know where to start and be motivated.

Good morning RakibulEvan9 and welcome.

Firstly, you've come to the right place to get all the support you need and more.

An administrator will reply later, supplying you with all the information you need to get started, however in the meantime you may wish to check out the NHS 12 week plan which many people here are using to good effect. You can find it on the right hand side by scrolling down from the Home page or clicking on this link.

There's a lot there to take in but it will spoon feed you (excuse the pun ) through the whole process.

Shout out if you have any questions at all and good luck to you.

You're here! You've already started!

The NHS 12-week plan really worked for me - I'd recommend it.

Also, they say 80% of weight loss is diet - that is what really matters. Exercise is great, and will help you achieve your goals faster, but ultimately its the amount of calories you eat that owns the day. I'm a total slob and I've still lost more than 2 stone!

Don't let lack of exercise be an excuse for not losing weight!! Just get started on a good eating plan, and see how it goes - as you get healthier and lighter you might feel inspired to exercise more anyway.

Good luck

Hello RakibulEvan9 and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum I read somewhere that learning to say no to food, what some people call will power, takes practice. Just like we use our muscles repeatedly to strengthen them, we need to practice controlling our eating in the same way, and the more we practice the easier it gets. I suggest making one or two small changes each day until you have a whole repertoire 😀

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and 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

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for. 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 forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page. And if you just want to chat, to say hello or share any news or struggles then look out for What's Happening Today thread.

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. 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. If you have any questions please just ask

Best wishes

Hi and welcome this is a fantastic supportive forum - has definitely helped me when I have gone off track

Have a good look around and especially at the NHS 12 week plan - this is what I started on and now it has become part of my routine

Make sure you take your measurements as well as when the scales don't move and you get disheartened you can see if you have lost inches

This week my weight went up 1.04lb (have been on holiday and out of routine ) but when I measured myself I found I had lost another inch off my waist and half inch off my hips so this has motivated me for another week

Wishing you all the best on your journey
