I've been away from the forum for a while and due to a stressful period I've not taken care of myself. I'm now feeling more like my old self and want to start my fitness and healthy lifestyle again. I've started today and I feel positive. I'm looking for support as I've been through a sad time. I would like to loose a stone in weight , and feel strong enough to go for a swim. Thanks for listening

Hi Gro123

Welcome back and sorry to hear you have been having a hard time lately.

I am sending you the newbie information as some things on the forum have changed since you were last her.

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.

:)

hope you managed to get your swim and I am sure it won't take you too long to get rid of that stone, if you feel you would like some motivational help with building up your exercise there are 2 fitness challenges on the go each week- you just need to either chart the distance you run, walk (steps), cycle & swim or how many minutes in a week you do some form of exercise which makes you warm and slightly breathless.

I am sorry that you have gone through a sad time lately and I hope things start to improve in your life

Glad you are back and feeling a bit better.
