The 12 week plan is well respected and works well for most.. but finding what suits you is the best way forwards..

Hi Conorf2323, 3 stone is same that I need to loose as well I know it is not easy to loose weight with health problems, like back, I think the key is to control your calories (I use myfitnesspal) and find some activity - even small - you will enjoy long term, could be 10 minutes swim, etc. You are in good place to gain support

[Conorf2323 in reply to mich_redhill]

Thank you very much for your message. I’ll definitely give myfitnesspal a wee look

Welcome!! Try starting to have 6 healthy small meals. In that way you do not go into starvation mode and want to dive into the no-no foods. With the exercise try 20minutes and work your way up to your full capacity. Once you are getting healthy you will learn what you need and not need in your lifestyle. Best wishes on you journey!!!
