Hello Hidden and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

You have lost weight before and will do it again! Have a little faith 😊 We are all here to cheer you on.

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and 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 checker 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

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day, as well as a new Daily Diary, if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page. And if you just want to chat, to say hello or share any news or struggles then look out for What's Happening Today thread.

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you have a 'Newbie' badge. 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. If you have any questions please just ask

Best wishes

Anna

Welcome Hidden i have found myself to be a very very slow loser. At some points losing nothing for a few months and in the past that made me give up. This time I have carrried on even when I haven't lost anything and eventually but slowly it comes off. Good luck 😉

The weight loss I have no problem with doing its the thyroid that stops me from loosing weight as my body doesn't regulate like everyone else's, I can diet as much as I like but I won't loose weight lol I've tried every diet, healthy eating, not dieting, slim fast and I stay the same weight

You can do it. Just dont give up!!!!
