Hello

New here. Best to all. Need to lose 1 stone and 7 pounds, hope to do it in 12 weeks. Looks like a really sensible plan! In two weeks I have lost 4 pounds.

hi and welcome to the forum

Yes the NHS 12 week plan is a very good sensible healthy eating plan and I have lost a fair bit on it

Wishing you all the best on your journey

Hello maljames and welcome. I agree the 12 week programme is sound and sensible. For me, that means learning and developing new habits which I hope I'll be able to sustain long term. You'll get plenty of support and info on here

Welcome! All I would say is don’t get too down heartened if it doesn’t go exactly to plan! 2 lbs a week sounds a good target but life does have a habit of getting in the way sometimes! As long as the scales show a downward trend overall that’s fine - even if there might be an occasional upwards tick! The important thing is not to lose faith. Everyone here will encourage and support you so that’s a good start in itself! See less of you soon!
