Thanks. I'm unsure where I post my weight/weight loss etc? Any advice would be great.

Hello TMH1977 and welcome to the forum 😊

This Welcome Newbies post explains how the forum works and will help you find your way around healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... Please take your time reading it so you get the best out of your time here.

You were asking about logging your weight. There is a weekly weigh in for each day of the week but it's a team thing and it's about mutual support, not just logging weights (that would be rather boring and unhelpful) so please take time to chat to and encourage others, as they will for you. Here's the link to today's or go for whichever day suits you healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Before you start the 12 week plan, you need to get your personalised calorie range from the NHS BMI calculator nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we... Don't be misled by the 1400/1900 figure you may see as that is generic and suits very few of us.

We also ask that you read this information about internet privacy and security 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. :)

Take your time exploring and come back with any questions.

Wishing you all the best and I hope you become an active member of the forum 😊

Thank you for your reply. I'll have a good read through everything. I'm starting tomorrow so will check out the BMI calculator once I've jumped on the scales!!

I will lock my posts in future, when I know how. Think I'm probably best using the laptop rather than the mobile to find my way around.

Thanks again

You're welcome.

I use a laptop but then when I'm doing my Adminning, I have several pages open at once. It may be worth trying it til you've orientated yourself, which the Newbie Welcome pack should help with.

To get you started, here's the link to Monday's weigh in, for the morning healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh....
