Morning All,

I have just joined and am looking to lose 2 stone before November. 2 stone in 3 months is pretty achievable if I can get my head right and stay focused. I lost 45 pounds in 2015 and since then have had a baby. I have done it before I can do it again 💪🏻

Welcome to the group. Good luck with reaching your target by November - do you have a special event you are aiming for? That can be a help in motivation. You seem pretty focused and the fact that you have done it before should mean it is achievable for you as you say. All the best. I am trying to exercise more as well as counting the calories, but foinding the time can be a challenge

Yes, we're going back to our favourite resort in Mexico, I was 10st 13lbs last time and I can't go heavier then that this time. I am determined but lately I seem to have developed an awful binge eating habit that I'm trying to break.

I know how it feels to have no time, I have constant mum guilt but I know I feel better after I've been to the gym and it's important to make time for yourself.

Hi and welcome, Tania :)

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 :)
