New. Want more energy!

Hi, starting here today. Fed up with feeling tired. I'm approaching 40 and need to shift the pounds to stop feeling crap about myself and instead have lots of energy to cope and enjoy life. Starting 12 stone 8, BMI 31. Found attending a real group boring and awkward so hope this will work better. Good luck to anyone else starting this week!

Hi Hidden

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

Welcome. This is far better than those commercial groups where they are pushing their food products with sweeteners and additives and where there is inane chit chat about which alcoholic drink has the least calories. You will find members of this forum are supportive and friendly , always ready to pick you up when you may be feeling a little down. So choose your diet plan and start out on this adventurous journey to the slimmer you.
