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

Hi and welcome, harperjackson, why not join our Daily Diary and Wednesday weigh-in?

[harperjackson in reply to moreless]

Ok what do I have to do

[moreless Administrator 7 stone in reply to harperjackson]

I've highlighted the pertinent part of cracker10's welcome message for you, but you're too late for the Wednesday weigh-in this week, as the weigh-in's all close at 10pm. You can, of course, join our Thursday weigh-in, which has already been posted and will remain open until 10pm tonight

we also have weekly challenges which are open to anyone, to help motivate people to get off the settee and do some exercise, either walking, counting steps, running, cycling, gym, exercise classes exercise videos, propelling own wheelchair etc. if you are interested you just need to record how far you have travelled doing your exercise in km or how much time you do any form of exercise (Mon-Sun) then on the next week the new challenge is posted and you just post what exercise you did in km and/or minutes. Anything that gets you feeling warm and slight breathless is appropriate, or there are weekly weigh-ins and daily dairy if you want to post what you plan to eat for the day.

Good luck with the weight loss and you will get a lot of support here
