Hi, Thornz, you're in good company here, looking forward to cheering you on once you get to grips with all the info. Welcome!

Welcome Thornz40k You've made a big step in posting and as moreless has already mentioned, it's completely anonymous and people will only know what you want them to know.

Everybody is very friendly... well we're all in the same boat so it doesn't make sense to rock it

Just ask if you have any questions at all.

Many of us here have, like you, opted for a forum where we can be anonymous, so I do hope you'll take advantage of it and join in

Hi and welcome Thornz!

Online communities are a good way to get support for everyone, but especially good for those who are less sociable in real life!

Good for you for joining the forum

Welcome Thornz, have a good read of all the info, find a suitable calorie range and give it a go. You can rant on here, celebrate, ask for help when needed. This system is not a short term diet, it will help you retrain your eating habits for life. It's not always easy, but give it a go, cravings come and go. But good food choices can become the norm. Good luck!

Good luck on your journey x
