I want to lose 25 kg within next 6 months. I love to eat and don´t like to do exercise. Sometimes, I try some diet plans as well as do some workout but the problem is, I can not continue it for longer time.

I think, this is the main reasons for my excess weight.

I am 25 years old, height=160 cm (5 feet 3 ins), weight= 80 kg.

I need motivation to do diet and exercise also. I badly need to lose my weight.

Hello Sharmin_ani 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 Sharmin_ani Welcome to the forum! 25kg seems really ambitious in 6 months!

I've found calorie control rather than diet plans the best way to maintain weight loss, as it is more of a lifestlye change than a temporary diet. I am still eating all the things I love, just less of them ;)

Is there anything you do like doing that is active? Swimming or yoga or just walking? But, you can loose weight without exercise, as long as you keep your calories under control :)

This forum really is great help in loosing weight, even just joining a weekly weigh in.

Good luck to you :)

Welcome to this forum Sharmin_ani . You are in an awesome place and you will definitely learn so much. I like that you openly say you love to eat, many of us do and struggle with the weight the food brings along :-) To start, you really have to work on your food portions to drop the weight without having to workout. Seek to eat healthy, nourishing and satiating meals that will keep you full longer and in the long-term you'll have effortlessly reduced your portions. Find ways to incorporate physical activity that you enjoy into your daily routine to help you burn extra calories, start with even as little as 10mins of activity a day and build on it. All the best in your journey!
