Time to stop

Like a lot of people I’ve let myself go during the lock down !!! I’ve eat and drank too much.I feel a mess so it’s time to stop. Today’s my first day. I’ve been to get some healthy food.,I used to go swimming most days so until they reopen I’m going to walk myself fit . I’m hoping by joining the group I’ll stay motivated and not give in after the first day. I really need support. I love vegetables so that’s a good thing. Thank you for reading my post 👍it’s a lonely time at the moment

Hi and welcome, Lorrainegrocott :)

I think the lockdown has had the same effect on a lot of us, so you're in good company. The good thing is by joining us you've made the first step to improving your health and together we can help each other.

All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... and I hope you'll be joining all the Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially a weigh-in and the daily diary.

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.

Wishing you all the best :)

Hello Lorraine,

I have joined in the last 10 minutes for exactly the same reasons as yourself! You are not alone😀 I have been furloughed since end of March and my 'holiday head's was saying it's ok to have another beer as 'I'm not working in the morning ' or I can eat this as I have loads of time to exercise. Thinking it and doing it are two completely different things I have discovered!!

We have made the first positive steps by joining up with the forum. Good luck and with a good support network, it wont be as lonely as we think 🙂
