Hey Everyone,

I'm a newbie to this group. Saw an advert for the site in a healthcare magazine and thought I would have ago as I have tried every thing else for awhile until I lose my motivation. This time in feeling determined

Hi Denisemac and welcome.

An administrator will reply shortly with loads of info that will help you start your new journey.

Glad that you're feeling determined though that's often how we all start off only to see that determination wane after a week or two. This is often because we've started off with the wrong ideas or we're being too hard on ourselves. Do take time to read through everything that the admin links for you and try to understand what's being said. I'm sure that sounds boring but it's definitely worth it

On top of that coming here often, reading posts and replies, asking any questions you've got and joining in with as much as possible can really make the difference and has done for so many others.

Wishing you all the best on your new healthy journey

Hello, Denisemac, and welcome to the forum 😊

What do they say? "You've tried the rest, now try the best!".

If you're using the 12 week plan, get a personalised calorie range from the NHS BMI calculator nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we... as the 1400 figure you'll see is generic and suits very few of us.

This welcome pack explains how the forum works and how to find your way around healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... Please take your time reading it so you get the best out of your time here.

You'll find a list of all our activities on the daily chat thread here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... I recommend joining a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice.

We also ask that you read this information about internet privacy and security healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... particularly as your post is unlocked and you have a username that may identify you. Please be aware that, if you leave your post unlocked, it can be shared around the Internet without your knowledge or consent. Some of our members will not respond to unlocked posts as they value their privacy.

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