Weight loss programme, I have angina

[VG52]

I would like a weight loss programme where I don't have to measure everything, has anybody got anything that I could use

I don't measure or count calories. I just eat clean, no bad foods at all. So far so good. Good luck to you.

Hi VG52 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 😊

Cheering you to success to reach your goals 🎉🎉🎉

Hi and welcome

I am a calorie counter and it works for me But it took some work to get it set up to make it easy

I went through my cupboards / fridge / freezer and made a spreadsheet of all the food in there and the calories per portion - now I just grab a portion check the spreadsheet and hey presto no time at all.

Wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey Minniewinny has given you some great advice

Hi VG52, There are slimming programs such as Slimming World that have lots of "free foods" where you can eat as much of those as you like. However the lists are in a fairly thick booklet, and Im not sure how you can get the details without joining up, which of course costs money. I am currently calorie counting, and am getting used to doing it. At lest nowadays most foods have calorie contents easily readable on the packet, and where this is not the case (e.g. fresh foods) I use the free NHS Calorie Counter website
