New Today 🎂

[myfat2fabjourney2019]

Hi

I’ve joined up today as I need to have some accountability. I know what I need to do it’s just the sticking to it!! I can be good, eating the right things, exercising but then I lose control 🤦‍♀️🎂🎂🎂

I’m hoping that talking to like minded people will help keep me focused along with the daily / weekly planners.

Would like to lose about 30lbs & keep it off 🤞🏻

The key to sustainability is to have enough to eat, and of the right type. If you cut back too drastically then hunger will drive you off the rails 😊 Any changes made need to be permanent, and then maintaining comes naturally

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.

I highly recommend planning food in advance. We have a Daily Diary where we share our plans, and it’s a great place to go for advice on tasty food 😊 It’s in Events on the forum home page, healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Keep that determination up! I'm in the same boat as you, we've got to keep the positive mind set going and go back to feeling good about ourselves! No more jeans sizes increases for me! 🙂

Yes we can do this together 💪

Determination gets everyone through the first week or two. Eating correctly (a huge topic in it's own right) whilst ensuring that we eat enough to stave off hunger will likely take us further.
