I want to lose weight how does every one else do it

[IndigoBlue61]

Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum Xashlee

We lose weight one pound at a time, step by step, inch by inch. In other words slowly and steadily, by making permanent changes to our eating habits.

To help you find your way around, and enjoy all the things we have on offer, please read the Welcome Newbies Post here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Take your time to read it carefully as it has lots of useful information.

We also advise that you have enough to eat. If you are following the NHS 12 Week plan, the 1400 calorie target suggested is a just generic amount, please check your own personal calorie target using the BMI checker, it’s often higher than you think. We always advise starting towards the top of the range, being hungry is the biggest cause of weight loss failure

I also highly recomend coming onto the forum regularly, daily if you can, reading posts and replying to others. Being part of a community is proven to help weight loss. Why not join our daily chat thread ‘What’s Happening Today?’

For your own privacy and safety online we suggest that you lock your posts by selecting ‘followers in my community’ when you write a new post. Please read our security post here. healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Out of interest, can I ask how you found us?

Best wishes for your weight loss journey

Indigo 😊

Do your BMI check. Work out your calories and aim for near the top end to start.

Cook from scratch. Nature gives us some wonderful produce so include a lot of fruit, veg, salad ideas in your meal and steer away from expensive ready made stuff.

Use this site as much as you can .. fantastic support, great ideas on the daily diaries and recipe posts.

A little exercise... walking is a good place to startl

Hi Xashlee

Just wondered how you were getting on reading through the links you have been given.

Have you ever tried to lose weight before?

[Xashlee in reply to MissisB]

No not really have you

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to Xashlee]

Oh yes, but doing much better now with the help of people here and learning so much. Before that I was probably trying to lose weight from when I was 16.

[Xashlee in reply to MissisB]

Same here I feel really down about my weight

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to Xashlee]

Oh dear. Sorry to hear that.

Did you put weight on as a teenager?

[Xashlee in reply to MissisB]

Yes and its OK I just want to look slim and look nice in pretty clothing

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to Xashlee]

Do you have something to aim for? An event? A special date?

[Xashlee]

I want aim for my wedding that's y I want lose weight what about u

[MissisB 4 stone]

I just want to be healthier - and I’m succeeding 🙂 Just find I am eating lots of tasty food, better choices, being more active because I feel better, and looking after myself.

A wedding sounds wonderful - congratulations. Do you have a date planned?

[Xashlee in reply to MissisB]

Not yet I done a bit dancing around my living room and eaten a Apple that's all you think dancing will make me lose weight

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to Xashlee]

It is going to be more about what you eat, with the exercise helping a little.

Have you worked out how calories a day you need to eat using the NHS BMI Calculator?

[Xashlee in reply to MissisB]

How do I get on that

[MissisB 4 stone in reply to Xashlee]

There is a link to it in the Newbie information that IndigoBlue61 gave you.

To help you start, here it is.
