Hi everybody- I joined 6 months ago, never used this community. Now weigh more - silly me! I need to get going on my weight loss journey.

Hello, Pondface, and welcome to the forum 😊

Everything you need to find your way around is in the Welcome Newbies post: I’ve tagged you there so pop over and take your time reading it. I recommend joining a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary to share your meal plans.

To get the most out of the forum, join in conversations, ask questions and support others - it will all pay off for you 😊

Many thanks for the welcome! Will do! I will check it all out and find my way around. I may be calling for support when I am giving into temptation as I am not very strong willed.

You’re welcome 😊

Hello Pondface,

Welcome to this forum! I just started in September and to be honest I had to really push myself to write on this forum. (I’m kind of scared of social media's).

Here everybody is so supportive and friendly. You’ll find lots of ideas to lose weight in a sustainable way.

If you write/participate often enough on this forum you’ll feel accountable to achieve your goal!

I wish you a very nice start!😊

[Pondface]

Thanks! It seems very friendly already.

Welcome pondface. I come here daily to read/be inspired and write/give or ask for support/advice. I hope to see you around.

Don't beat yourself up Pondface it obviously wasn't the right time for you to take part, now is 👍.

There is a lot of support on here, I can vouch for that.

And there's a lot of advice from members that can be a little conflicting. So my advice read all the hints and tips and links and work out what is the right way for you.

I'm in it for the long haul and seeing it more of a lifestyle change, so not beating myself up if it's going slow as long as I'm losing gradually. It's more likely to stay off permanently.

I am doing a bit of fasting (group on here for that too) but only the mild version of 13-14 hours over night and use the zero app. It's stopped me snacking once I've pressed the button to start fast and I'm sleeping a lot better.

Find what's best for you and go for it x
