Hello and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum Mintymagnum 😊

The best advice I can give is have enough to eat. If you are following the NHS 12 Week plan then the 1400/1900 calorie target suggested is a just generic amount, please check your own personal calorie target using the BMI checker, it’s often higher than you think. We always advise starting towards the top of the range, being hungry is the biggest cause of weight loss failure.

We have found that active participation is key to success, reading posts and rep,going to others, and taking part in forum activities every day. Please see today’s Chat Thread with a list of all the things happening on the forum healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

If you haven’t already then please read the Welcome post here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... please read it carefully and just ask if you have any

questions.

Drink a pint of water before every meal and if your finding your hungry even after your meal another pint of water

Hi Mintymagnum (is your name your Achilles heel?) as a alternative viewpoint I would suggest reading up about “all calories are not equal” and instead of counting them, concentrate more on where your calories come from. Investigate LCHF to see if it would suit you.

1400 Cal's an average allowance have you checked your proper allowance on BMI checker and eat up to top end of it. Good luck
