My name's Gabby, I'm 24 and have always struggled with weight. At 16 I was my heaviest of 98kg and whilst over the years I have been able to lose quite a bit (down to 68kg) I am still struggling to maintain or lose any more.
My job is very stressful and I find myself gaining and losing the same 5kg over and over again and it's beginning to take a toll. I am so easily affected by what I see and how I feel yet feel no motivation at all to finally stop eating and deal with my issues.
Over the summer I took up running but this has now stopped due to only ever being home when it is dark. I feel at a loss and just want to be confident in myself. I'm not looking to lose a lot of weight, just a small amount to stop being on the borderline!
I've joined this as a bid to get support from others to carry on going so I hope it helps!!
Looking forward to it

I can sympathise with the ‘last few pounds’ syndrome Gabby, there are a few things you could maybe try, but first things first. 😊
I'd like to invite you to join our Newbie Club, which we hope will be a good place for you to connect with other members who are also just starting out. If you just post a few words to introduce yourself and respond to others there, you'll soon break the ice. Here's the link

You'll find all the information you need to navigate the forum in the header and a link to the 12 week plan, so please take the time to read it carefully.
I suggest you start on the 12 Week plan, carefully calculate your daily calorie target using the nhs BMI checker, and see how you get on. I also recommend you join the Daily Diary so we can support you in your food choices, and then our members may be able to suggest any tweaks in your eating to lose those final, very pesky, few pounds 😊
