Hello everyone,
It was my first day on plan today! It's gone so well, I think when you get to the point when your mind starts to change it makes the cutting out bad food so much easier. I've enjoyed eating well and haven't thought about even going off track. My whole week is planned so here goes 💪
I've got about 5 stone to loose so fingers crossed I'm gonna get there 
Hope everyone has had a great Monday 😁
Hi CathyProc so glad your first day went well!
Wishing you all the best and enjoy the rest of the week.
Thank you
Take one day at a time and I'm sure you will be lighter next Monday
Hello CathyProc and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum
You are right about mindset being important, when you get that right everything falls into place 😊
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
