Hi butty9871

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

If you have had a stoke Dave then maybe it would be safer to check with your GP before starting any exercise as we are not medically trained here. Maybe try just walking to start with and slowly build it up when your ready.

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.

Sorry Sophia234 would you care to elaborate? Are you referring to a type of exercise?

Hi Sophia234

Not sure if you read the whole post above but when recovering from a stoke you would need a GP to ensure it is safe to exercise before you start any.
