I am new to this Forum as I belong to the IBS group

Very interesting

I was recommended by a friend

I will try the 12 week diet

Hello, Rouyaka, and welcome to the forum

Before you start the 12 weekplan, you need to get a personalised calorie range from the NHS BMI calculator: the 1400/1900 figures you will see are generic and suit very few of us.

You'll find everything you need to get the best out of the forum in our Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... I recommend joining a weekly weigh in and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans.

Active participation really pays off so I hope we'll see you joining in

Dear Bridge girl

Thank you for your introduction and welcome

Now I am beginning to see the connection between the mind when feeling low to over eat and the implications it can have on the body

Very interesting

Thank you

How is your weight loss and diet?

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Roukaya]

I've been here since October '17. I've lost three stones, am in the healthy BMI bracket and aiming to lose a few more pounds for a weight I'm happy to maintain at.

My diet is low carb and high/healthy fat, along these lines dietdoctor.com/low-carb

Dear Bridge Girl

Very impressive

I think going out yesterday made me realise I need to work on my body shape and weight issues

A huge accomplishment to lose 3 stone

Truly amazing
