Hello Shellyboo and a very warm welcome to the Weight Loss Forum 😊

First of all, take a look at the Welcome Newbie Post for advice about how the forum works and all the things we have on offer. Please read it carefully as it has lots of important information. healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Please make sure you have enough to eat, being hungry and feeling deprived is the single biggest hurdle to weight loss. If you are following the NHS 12 Week plan then the calorie target suggested is a just generic amount, so check your calorie target on the BMI checker, it’s often higher than you think. What you eat is also important, we have a meal planning post called Daily Diary and 8nhighly recomend it 😊

Also try to come 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? And tell us all a little about your day.

Best wishes and have a great first week

Indigo 😊

You'd be very welcome at today's weigh in Shellyboo. Just read the opening post and it will explain all. Here's the link healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

I see your post isn't locked. This means that it, and any replies, can be shared around the Internet without your knowledge or consent (see the Twitter and Facebook logos below your post). Often that won't matter to you but sometimes people discuss personal stuff or accidentally disclose something that might identify them so we think it's a good extra level of security to lock your posts.

Dear Shellyboo,

I have found this forum really valuable for learning a new way of eating which means that I steadily lose weight and keep it off.

I also don’t need to feel hungry as I lose.

I look forward to seeing your name on the forum and wish you well on your weight loss journey.

If you feel the urge to snack you could make a cup of tea and come onto the forum instead, by the time you finish the tea the urge to snack may have passed.
