You won't get bored here. Lots of people to keep you going. Also lots of advice and tips. Good luck!
Hi 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 😊
Wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey
I agree with Melhall. Try and get into the habit of going on the site everyday. It really does help. Good luck in your journey and remember take it one day at a time.
Have you got much to lose 1tnz01 ??
The support and encouragement on this forum is amazing.
We're all different but have one thing in common. Let us know more and you'll find the perfect path for you here.
1tnz01 , this forum does not advocate for any particular diet but a long-term lifestyle of healthy eating and exercise. Most diet are generally restrictive on what you eat and have low calories for a certain period therefore not sustainable in the long-term and once you leave the diet all the weight lost with additional pile back.
Just acknowledge your challenge and set your mind to follow through with healthy eating. Start eating healthy, nourishing and satiating meals at all meal times, one meat at a time, one day at a time without depriving self till you are adapted to a healthy eating routine. Then, use the BMI Checker to determine your daily target calories and plan your meals accordingly. This is the only way you can sustain long-term weight loss and actually keep off the weight.
