hi! I’m new to this, I’ve just started the 12 week plan for the weight loss and I’m really looking forward to it. I start uni again in September so it will be a challenge, but fingers crossed for the best 🤞🏼

Welcome to our friendly and supportive forum GingerGal,

Exciting times for you :)

Please be aware that the NHS 12 week plan suggestion of 1400 is a generic number. This number cannot possibly apply to us all as we are all various sizes. It is very important to check out your own personal calorie range on the NHS BMI calculator and start at the top end as you will have to lower calories as you loose weight.

To help you navigate the forum, we've put all the information you'll need in a newbie pack and here's the link

Along the tool bar where it say Home, my hub and chat, click on your Avatar, go to settings and scroll down until you see 'change user name' - choose wisely, you can only do this twice :)
