Making a start

[Bluemoon75]

Good morning all. I've just discovered the NHS weight loss plan, downloaded the app and am going to give it a go.

I'm a classic yo yo dieter and have tried all the usual plans out there. I just wish I could flick that switch that must be buried somewhere deep in my brain that tells me I don't need to eat so much!

I also suffer from terrible IBS which gets me down. Finding a balance of food that helps me lose weight and keeps my stomach happy is quite a challenge.

Wish me luck

Hello to you

This time, change the way that you eat for good and you will change for good.

Ibs also can be helped greatly with a healthy diet.

It's a lifestyle change you need to work on not just your diet..

Good luck!
