THANK YOU X

You should add "at the moment" to the end of the title of your post. You can do this. I am just over half way to where I need to be starting at 26 stone and just over 18 1/2 now. Believe me, if I can do it you certainly can. Good luck with your journey. James

hello and welcome to the forum. we are all in it together. The weight loss journey is just beginning.

youve made a start already by joining this forum.. the support is brilliant here and better than any slimming club ive ever joined.. my advise .. pick a day to weigh in as logging your weight each week here on the forum makes you more determined & accountable.... also dont be afraid to log here when you have times when you put on weight as that is the time you need the support most.. i put on 5lbs this week and the support from my Sat weighin team was brilliant.. stick with us .. you can do this x

Hi and welcome to the forum

Have a good read of the Newbie Club that Yellowrose has directed you too

Are you going to follow the NHS 12 week plan? If you are try and have a good look in your food cupboards and freezer and jot down what calories are in a potion of what on a sheet of paper or spreadsheet as taking the time to do this really helps take less time when trying to work out meals

Wishing you all the best on your journey - you can do this

Set yourself small achievable targets - I do half stone goals. I've amazed myself at what I've lost so far, having support makes such a difference and this forum is great!

You can do it! 👍
