New smoke free but weight gained

Hi I gave up smoking two years ago and put on a number of stone. Change of job that means I am sat all day long and struggling to get back to a healthy weight. Looking forwards to support 🤗

Hi Lucy33 Fantastic on the non smoking for two years I gave up nicotine a year ago and have a desk based job, I have lost 20lb in the last year by following the NHS 12 week plan and today have been diagnosed by GP to having an under active thyroid

So if I can do that with with an under active thyroid you can do this

Some ideas that I do - I use the loos down the stairs at work, I try and get out of the office for at least 30 min and just walk

I posted in the Daily Diary my food plan for over a year and that really help and I joined in on the weigh in and posted what ever the result is / was

The support I have received on this forum was fantastic and then for some reason they asked me to be an admin - but I am just a normal person like you

Wishing you all the best on your journey and any questions just ask, we are all here for each other ups and downs
