Hi, just joined the group a few minutes ago and thought I'd say hello. I have about 4.5 stone to lose so , it's going to take some time , but, no rush I can't carry on like this. I'm 65 this year, so I dont know whether or not I've left it too late, but I've got to do something or when lock down is over, I won't be able to get through the door 🤦‍♀️. Hope to get to know you all along the way. Have a good day x

Hello Holidaynanna and welcome to this Forum! I started on here just before my 64th birthdayin 2018 and have now racked up nearly 3 stone loss, it takes longer as you get older but believe you me, if I can lose weight,anyone can!

People adopt a mix of approaches on here which you will see as you explore this site. We strongly recommend new members make use of one of our Weekly Weigh In pages and the Daily Diary posts. You will find these via this link following which takes you to our Pinned Posts section. There you will find a Welcome message,general advice (eg: internet safety)and guide to our site plus links to a range of groups which we hope will interest you as well as the key Weigh In and Daily Diary pages.....

....it can take a bit to learn how to find one's way around so please read the material carefully and also note, don't use the HU App, it is much easier to use the website.

As explained above, we recommend that members join a Weekly Weigh-In, on the day of your choice, and also use the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans and get useful feedback. They are found under Pinned Posts (go back to the link I gave you above)

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

All the best on your weight-loss journey ! 😊

If you'd told me at the start what I could achieve I wouldn't have believed you 😄 it's a case of really paying attention to what you eat. The guidance ,advice and support on here is fantastic,all best!

Hey there and welcome!

It's never too late and well done for taking the first step.

4.5st can sound like a lot, but split it into smaller more achievable goals along the way and you'll stay on track a lot easier. You'll hit each little goal, feel amazing and before you know it you're making fantastic progress.

Make sure you find something that works for you and you get all the nutrition and energy you need. Even when losing weight you should never be hungry!

See you around!
