StephGetsSlim Intro

[StephGetsSlim]

Hi Everyone,

I'm Steph! I really want to get healthier and change my lifestyle. This is the worst period of time, as I have zero motivation and keep on putting off exercising and eating very poorly. I have not a single piece of fruit in over a week, week and half and I feel I'm just declining, and spiralling into a pattern of unhealthy living and I don't feel like I'm doing an thing awesome with my life; I have no hobbies or sports and I want an activity to do but have no motivation

I'm 25 years old, 172cms. Fluctuate between 13st 10 and 14 stone and I'm not far from my heaviest weight -Which is petrifying me! I just need support and really want to change for the better and have a better quality of life and actually use my body to go out and do stuff, rather than staying in, pigging out and feeling like POO!

You can do it. Just try the daily and the weekly weigh in for motivation. We be here for you. It really does help. Good luck.

Hi, welcome. Think of the reasons why you want to lose weight and then focus on these as motivators. Set yourself small mini goals with rewards e.g. Half a stone and you will have a massage or buy a handbag. Then a reward for every stone. Don't use food as reward obviously! Good luck 🤞

Hi and welcome, Steph

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
