Hello everyone

[Bungalow20]

I’ve just joined this Group so that I can get fit with like minded people. I’m hugely overweight and I’ve recently joined SlimmingWorld. Here’s to our journeys together xxxxx

Hello Bungalow20 and welcome to this Forum! You will have been sent a Welcome post on registration which gives you lots of advice and guidance on how to navigate this site.

Here's a reminder link to the Site Guide

There's a lot there but it's worth taking your time to read,honest!

We recommend you joining a Weekly Weigh In on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans and get useful feedback.

It would be a good idea to check out your BMI if you've not already done so..you don't need a tape measure just your weight and height and here's a link to the NHS calculator

Please also read this information about security, especially as your post is unlocked

healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

A key and distinctive feature of our Forum is the support between members which you will experience (and add to yourself !) as you join in and chat with others.

All the best on your journey ! 😊

Hello and welcome You'll find lots of support and information here.

Do read the post about security that Diane2 has given you and think seriously about locking your post. If it's not locked, it can be shared around the internet without your knowledge of consent, which isn't ideal when you use a photo.

Hi, Bungalow20 , welcome.

If you "slim smart" weight loss is not so hard! It is not all about motivation and masochism.

Some of us here find that what works is a combination of The Low Carbohydrate, High-Fat (LCHF) diet (see the forum here on Health Unlocked) and Not Snacking All Day AKA Intermittent Fasting (IF). See:
