Hi. My name is Lisa and at the end of February I was diagnosed with obstructive sleep apnea. I have just started cpap treatment (it’s taking some getting used to!) and as the long term cure is weight loss, I today started the NHS 12 week programme.

I am both excited and yet nervous. But also extremely determined.

Any advice and tips will all be appreciated. Thank you :)

Thank you so much!!! I’m feeling so positive already but it helps to have the support. Wish you all the best too

Hi and welcome - I have no knowledge about sleep apnea and hope the treatment is going well for you

I am also following the 12 week plan and it's going ok, there is loads of advice and support on here - the Daily Diary which can be found in Events is really worth having a look at

Wishing you all the best on your weight loss journey :)
