Hi Teal. I am also just looking at starting. Not read anything yet but live in a remote area so no diet clubs available nearby

Hi and welcome

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then 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 (can be found in the pinned Newbie post) 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 😊

To the right of the HOME page (bottom on a mobile), you'll find Events. In there, you'll find links to our daily Weigh-in's (you will choose just one day per week), our Daily Diary, where we post our menu and exercise plans, for accountability, advice and support - which is great to get ideas of what other people are eating and I have to confess to nicking some of their menu's :) and our “What's happening today” thread, where we pop in for a chat.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page

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 😊

Wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey :)

Glad to have you join us!!! You will find d lots of advice and support here. Good luck to you!

Welcome ArgyllGirl.

Best wishes for your weight loss journey.

Good morning ArgyllGirl 😊 Lucky you living somewhere so beautiful ❤️ I'm rural Aberdeenshire so understand about living rurally

Finding you way around the forum can be a bit tricky at first. Are you on a phone or a laptop? This affects where things are on the screen.

Cracker gave some good instructions above so try to take time to read them.😊 Ps if you are on the App many facilities aren't available to it's better to use the normal website.

In the meantime have a quick read of this healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Please ask if you have any questions,

Best wishes

Anna
