Soon to be thinner

Hi, I'm Gayle, and I've just signed up to the 12 week program, and am looking forward to getting started.

I am hoping that with some support from people trying to achieve the same thing, I will have more success than trying to go it alone.

Plus I'm looking forward to hopefully gaining some new friends along the way.

I've got about 3 1/2 stone to lose so if anybody wants support or a chat with their journey it will be nice to hear from you and we can compare notes, recipes, and pit falls etc

I’ve signed up too, 2 stone to lose so this week I’m concentrating on healthier lunches/batch cooking from the meal mixer on the change for life app, I’m happy to share tips, motivation, recipes ect maybe even a monthly meet up if there is enough of us close to each other 😊

Welcome to the forum and I lost weight through the 12 week plan- I had just under 2 stones to loose and it took me 4 months, so it is slow but I have kept it off for 10 months and I still base my eating on the plan. Good luck I would really recommend using the facilities that are available and if you have any questions then ask and you are bound to get some responses on what worked for members of the forum, they may not work for you but it will give you some ideas to try.
