Hello

[ChloeMarsh]

Hello I'm new here. I have always 'yoyo'd' with my weight ever since I was a kid going from anorexic to obese. I've now hit the heaviest I have ever been and still going. I have zero motivation but I would like to eventually get married to my partner, feel confident and look good in the dress that I want. I would love the support of people going or gone through this. Thankyou

Hi and welcome, Chloe

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 NHS 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 your response. I'll check all that out. I haven't weigh myself in years..... A little scared too. But hopefully I'll start seeing some results soon. X

Don't worry about whatever weight you are many of us are all different sizes and even been there at some stage, none of us think badly or judge you no matter what weight you are. This is a really great group. I have had loads of support here and love it. Don't be afraid to ask anything about this. Do make sure you are eating enough calories as well as eating less than the NHS bmi calculator tells you to eat to lose weight just means your body thinks your starving it and turns what you do eat into body fat and this weighs more than eating the extra calories does so it stops you losing weight and sometimes means your putting weight on instead. Good luck with your journey.
