Any one want to join me in walking to lose weight and be a diet partner ?

Hi , mum of two boys, looking for a diet walking partner to shed some weight ,

I'll give it a go I could do with losing a pound or two.

Hi and welcome

- I do walking too

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

Hi and welcome Juley

If you click on your name, at the top of the page, in the dropdown, you'll see 'people near me'. You may find a member that lives close to you, that could actually accompany you on your walks. Failing that, join our exercise challenges, for some virtual company

Wishing you all the best

I too am walking to help with weight loss. I have the pokemon go app (to keep up with the grandchildren!) It gives a purpose to the walk. I can't walk just for the sake of it and it encourages you to walk further to see what you have hatched.
