Hi and welcome, Nav

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.

Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the NHS BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. 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 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.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey

YES ME ...!! Just into my 3rd week, failed at trying to up my exercise last week, but there's always next week (never say never, I say)

I've lost 2lbs each week so far. Looks like I've lost 3" off my waist this week too! My weigh in day is Saturday, and I've just bought digital scales so I can read the result easily!

I've used the RC, SW, WW slimming clubs and only lost 1/2 - 1lb per week max. I'm rubbish at sticking to a diet plan; and have avoided calorie counting like the plague. I'm finding it the easiest thing ever to do and even my husband is coming on board with noting stuff down when he cooks.

You don't need luck - just good scales (food and bathroom). Somewhere to record your foods and calorific values (I use a FitBit app but others use an A-Z notebook or myfitnesspal etc) and somewhere you can look up calorific values and the support & helps of this site I'm still finding my way around.... Oh and be honest, it's so amazing getting rid of the guilt of eating/drinking! Look after yourself - this is all about YOU x

Hi Nav-K, you will find this forum really lnspiring. When I feel tempted I get on here for a bit of”therapy”. I find afternoons are the worst for falling off the wagon. A cup of tea sometimes helps but as long as you count the calories of whatever you eat and factor them in no harm done. Once you are in the swing of things it does get easier. Good luck on your journey!
