Hi everyone.

I am new here. I feel I have let my self go. I am 5 ft 4 black,English Caribbean women.

I have been on many diets but I am determined to loose weight.

I need the support from like minded people.

I have a sweet tooth.

Hi Icandothis123 and welcome to the weight loss forum.

The NHS 12 week plan is more of a life style change than a diet and that is why it works so well. Have a good first week.

You are invited to join our Newbie Club, where you can meet other new members who are just beginning their weigh loss journeys too. Here's the link for all the information you will need to find your way around the forum:

Write a brief note to introduce yourself to other newbies and I'm sure you'll be making friends, in no time.

Good luck with your first week.

As Rose has already mentioned, the NHS 12 week plan is aimed at trying to make us live healthily which means changing our lifestyles for the long term, whereas a 'diet' is generally a short term way of doing things that doesn't leave you with the tools to continue afterwards.

If you haven't already, follow the link that Rose has supplied and it will lead you to all the information that you need to get started and how best to use this forum to your advantage.

It has been 7 months !!! I hadn't realised it was so long. I have lost some weight but not enough and its very slow for me but at least it's not gaining . Liz
