I’m just looking to start. That sounds amazing! What was your starting weight?

Good morning and welcome Slipper21

I would be wary of such rapid weight loss. A healthy sustainable loss is approx 1-2 lbs per week.

Hello Loobylou81 and welcome

Yes, that does seem an excessive amount in that time scale, despite the fact that you presumably had water retention, so that will account for some of it. I would advise you to see your GP and see what they say.

I’m assuming you’re following the NHS 12 week plan. Make sure you are eating the right number of calories by getting your range from the NHS BMI calculator.

To help you find your way around, we’ve put together this welcome pack healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

We also ask you to read this post about privacy and security online, especially as you have left your post unlocked healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Could you let us know how you found your way to this forum?

I also weigh myself 2 weekly so the weight loss motivator is great in my mind when u here 2 lb compared to 5 lb in 2 weeks it motivates me more
