Newbie new to calorie counting

[houndsleap]

Hello...I am a newbie just starting out on the 12 week NHS plan to lose weight...hoping to find support and to be able to be a support to others on this journey.

So far I have got a daily walk going and a skipping rope by the door.

I have never done diets or gym so getting my head round calorie counting is all new. I am thinking to work on portion size as first target. Any tips most welcome

Hello and welcome, houndsleap

I've had a look at your profile and I think this may be useful to you as it explians how weight loss is more "challenging" as we age healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... This gives further supportive information phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

If you prefer to go for calorie counting, my main tip would be to find the correct range for you from the NHS BMI calculator, eat in the middle/upper end of the range and see how you go.

Apart from that, make the most of the forum by joining in our activities, particularly a weekly weigh in and the Daily Diary. You'll find everything you need in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

All the best
