New here.

Hi I've just signed up. I have three stone to lose and require lots of motivation.

Dear Slimmer Di

This is a very friendly forum and I am sure you will receive plenty of support. Being 3 stone overweight brings all sorts of health problems so losing that weight and improving your fitness should be your motivation.

Make a plan as to how you are going to lose weight. Are going to do the NHS 12 week diet or follow another diet? Whatever your choice you need to count calories and be honest with yourself because we all gained weight because we consumed more calories than we needed on a regular basis and probably were also inactive. Now you need to go in reverse and make sure that every day there is a deficit in calorie consumption from the amount of calories you expend and you need to increase activity

Best wishes

Hi thanks for your reply. I am doing the 12 week challenge. I've lost weight before counting calories and put it back on. I need some motivation and a kick up the backside!! ☺️

Hi Di,

I am relatively new as well (4 weeks in), and I also am setting myself a target of 3 stone (hopefully) as a minimum. I wish you good luck and welcome to the forum.

Thank you. My motivation is low atm but I can do this. Great to be in the same boat as others 😁

Welcome to the forum! You can do this and win. Every morning when you get up say this is a great day and I am going to have a healthy day today. Once you get into this it will be second nature. Make sure you have a workout you enjoy. Best wishes on your journey and keep us posted.
