Heyy, newbie here!! Me and my mom are going to be starting the NHS 12 week plan tomorrow, any tips? X

Hello and welcome, Teeleix, and your mum

The number one tip is to go to the NHS BMI calculator where you'll be able to find the correct calorie range for each of you; have confidence in it, even if it's more than you expect, and don't be tempted to eat less: it won't serve you well long term.

To make the most of the forum, get involved with the activities on offer, particularly a weekly weigh in and the Daily Diary. You'll find them all in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

All the best

Ahh thank you so much! Mine recommendeds 1800-2000 which I thought was quite high but going to give it a go. Will definatley look out for the activities! Thank you, is there an app for these forums or is it just online? X

It's usually a range of 400 from top to bottom. I lost weight steadily (average 1lb a week) by eating in the middle of my range.

Unfortunately, the app's a dud so you need to access the forum online, whatever device you have
