Hi Kirsty320

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

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.

Hi Kirsty

I started dieting last week at 17st 13lb, and had my weigh in yesterday and lost 6.5lb. I did it by calorie counting, drinking more (not alcohol) and taking one day at a time.

You have made a positive start by joining this forum. Just keep taking little steps to become healthier. Good luck for the week ahead.

Hello and welcome to the forum. Plenty of support and good advice on here. Get rid of any temptation that you have in the house and set yourself small targets which you can achieve. If you have a day where you slip up dont worry forget about it and start afresh the next day.

Good luck with your weight loss journey.
