Feeling Scared

[TequilaSheila]

Hello Everyone, This is my first post. I have just signed up. I will weigh myself tomorrow morning and start the programme. I have a HUGE amount to shed and I am really scared.

Hi TequilaSheila and welcome, one of our wonderful volunteer admins will be here to officially welcome you and give you links to useful threads. There really is no need to be scared, we are all generally quite friendly and very supportive of each other. I lurked around the site for nearly six weeks before I posted but am now 3 months into my weight loss journey and really excited by what I have achieved. The best motivator is to join in, plan and publish your daily menu in the Daily diary, join in with a weigh in, pick whichever day is best for you and support others. Look forward to seeing you around. Onwards and downwards.

Thanks for this, but can you explain please what you mean by "publish your daily menu in the Daily diary, join in with a weigh in". How/where do I do this. Thanks

Hi and welcome, TequilaSheila

Don't be scared, be proud that you've taken the first step towards a healthier you. Many of us have had and still have large amounts of weight to lose, but don't concentrate on that aspect of your journey, concentrate on eating healthier, learning more about nutrition and let weight loss be the happy side-effect. That way, every day is a learning day and a day to celebrate

Nothing to be scared of here, TequilaSheila, and no matter how much weight you have to lose, you can do it! There's nobody here to scold you or make fun - we are all in this together. Face your fears and have a sneaky peek at the scales, go on the BMI calculator and get your calorie range then you can make a good start! Good luck with your weight loss journey and onwards and downwards to us all!

In fact it's especially important you access our support in the bad times as there's always someone around who will offer advice and consolation. You CAN do it.👍
