First official weigh in

[Loopybluelou]

So I hate to say my weight has ballooned to 15 stone 13. I officially started on Monday and according to my scales I’ve dropped 2lbs already but I’m not sure how accurate that is. I’m following the 1400 calorie recommendation and the couch to 5k exercise program but switching running for cycling as I have osteoarthritis and it feels less painful.

Can’t believe I’m actually enjoying the food although I am slightly hungry. I’m sure that will be less of a problem as my stomach adjusts lol

You've posted on the open forum, Loopybluelou, not the weigh-in, this will help you find it healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

1400 calories will be way too low for you and I advise that you enter your details into the NHS BMI calculator, to get a range of calories that's suitable for you nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we...

Eating too little can be counter-productive and this explains why healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
