This site is so confusing!

I have registered and logged in before. This morning I am thrown out? Had to reregister (simple I know).

1.Where do I weigh in every week?

2. Where do I get help and advice on how I can continue losing weight having stopped losing weight?

3. Strength Exercise, what is it and can I do it without having to pay to go to a gym with all the muscle builders. I have no wish to build muscle.

I am down from 124.7 Kg since 22/07/2017 to 112.8Kg but the last week has been a struggle. I am dieting and running three times a week (NHS C25K in 9 weeks).

Hi, I can see your other posts so it hasn't lost you from the system. If you scroll down through the posts you will see the weigh in for that day. It says you are in Team Sunday, the post for that will be put up this evening.

Hi - here is the newbie info for you to requaint yourself with the site :)

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'm sorry to hear that you're having problems, tfcmagpie, but I see that you've been a member of the C25K forum for a month, so you should be happy with open forum posting.

If you're using the HU App, this is the only area that you'll have access to, so you need to use the full website page.

Unfortunately, we are experiencing a few glitches at the moment, which is why you're having to keep logging in. Hopefully, this will be sorted on Monday, when the IT team are back at work.

From your last weigh-in, it was noted that you're eating less than half of what you should be, which is probably why you've stopped losing weight, so I suggest that you read this

healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

then log onto the Daily Diary for further assistance.

Try this site for your strength exercises

nhs.uk/LiveWell/strength-an...

You could join our exercise challenges, for extra motivation.

I hope this helps :)
