Hi feel silly where do I pick a day ?

[Hidden in reply to Snowqueen85]

Every day there is a post for weigh in on the news feed and pinned posts. Today is the Saturday weigh in group. You just reply and tell your starting weight and how much you lost each week. The pinned posts are at the bottom of all the posts on my phone. Just scroll down and you should see it. I am in the Friday weigh in group. You could join the Saturday one today if you want.

Hello Snowqueen85 and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

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

Anna

Hello thank you for your information however I can not see the Events section on my home page ??

Unless you respond directly to a person's reply, or tag them, by typing @ and then their name, which you then choose from a drop down, they'll have no idea that you've responded to them. Always click on the reply button, next to the like button at the bottom of their post

If you're using the HU App, you won't be able to access Events, as Anna has advised in her welcome message. I hope you've managed to find your way now
