Started Couch to 5K Three weeks in but only lost 5.7kg and it has stopped at that.

[tfcmagpie]

I want to move it on so I can get down to 110.00kg by the beginning of October. I was 124.7 now 119.00kg.

I have cut out beer and wine completely. I did have two Gin and slimline on saturday night. I have also eaten grilled fish or chicken and salad most other days. This at night around 1830 each day. If I snack it has been celery or dried fruit and nuts but not every day. Occasionally a banana before a run and sometimes a low fat yogurt at 0630 in the morning as I go out of the door. I drink double espresso several times a day.

Advice please?

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

Like all I read but way to complicated for me to follow.

I'm sorry you are finding the forum complicated tfcmagpie

Have another read, and also Concerned's reply.

It's only by looking at what we eat that we can lose fat.

Best wishes
