Hi everyone,

I am on a calorie counting diet and just completed week 1 of NHS fitness plan. I have lost 10lbs since 19 March, half when I was poorly and half on purpose.

I would like to lose around three and a half or four stone.

I spoke to a friend who had had a gastric band fitted and lost 30kg. I realised I needed to do the same but couldn’t afford the surgery and that I just needed to suck it up and stop eating rubbish.

After two weeks of dieting and a week of exercise I also realised I need some moral support for the tough days and people to celebrate with on the winning days. So her I am.

Current weight 13st 9.2lbs

When you're calorie counting, the best tip is to get the correct calorie range from the NHS BMI calculator nhs.uk/live-well/healthy-we... It may well be higher than you expect but have confidence in it.

I should have said, you've made a great start
