Welcome Hidden this is an amazing forum to be part of. I don't eat bread either. Lots of people on here have different issues and as you get to know us and share experiences with us you will find that we are a super supportive bunch and don't pass judgements.

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. 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 topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news, and you will have important news to share.

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 can be a major turning point, realising you can eat anything 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, that happens to me regularly!

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a 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. There are many other challenges to get involved with, just choose to what you are comfortable with

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.

The more you join in and connect with people the more you get out of the forum.

I wish you well as you get started with a new lifestyle.

I can't seem to exercise either but lost 16lbs in eight weeks so far. Just start with diet and then maybe move to exercise. You can do it!

Hidden to reduce your bread intake, you could opt to eat simple nourishing and satiating meals as you gradually reduce the bread. For example boiled egg or beans with sufficient veggies instead of the bread. All the best in your journey.
