Hello, 3.5 stone to lose 😑😑😑

[Kathryn1967]

Not sure how or even if it's possible. I'm 13 stone 2 and 5'6 tall. Feel slightly chubby but not 3.5 stone worth! So starting with 1/2 stone. Any one else at same point?

Hi Kathryn1967

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance. Take your measurements at the start together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

We have daily weigh in's so why not come along and join us today. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

You may notice that members have a grey box next to their name, these are achievement badges. All new members have a "newbie" badge to begin with.

Please note if you are using the new HU app it does not have all the forums features on it, so we suggest you use the full website version.

To get the most of the forum be active, share tips, recipes and experiences. Read some of the posts they are very motivating.

Have a good first week.

Rose

Hi there, I started at 13st4lbs and always struggled with losing weight and only seemed to lose a couple of pounds and then this stopped so I always gave up after this I just always put weight on at times. I always looked fatter and fatter. Since joining here I have managed to lose 2 1/2st because I was advised some good information about what I was doing wrong. I always never was eating calories so my body thought I was starving it and turned everything I ate into body fat and this weighs more than eating enough calories every day does so it stops you from losing weight and sometimes puts weight on instead. Find out how many calories you should eat on the NHS bmi calculator as this gives out personal calorie amounts for each person whereas other sites tend to just give average amounts for women and men. Since I joined I have managed to lose 2 1/2st so far and I have to get to 9st 3lbs as I am only 5ft. Good luck with your journey.
