As a reminder, 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.
I word of caution (from someone who has recently shifted 7 stone). It's more sustainable to aim for a loss of around 2 pounds / 1 kilo per week, than going for a faster crash diet, in my view. I think strictly limiting the time of the hard diet is good advice. Even if you lose half a stone in the first month, that's going to help your back and knees.
Steady progress wins the race. I'd also suggest having a good look at the Low Carb High Fat (LCHF) model for sustainable long-term weight-loss (though of course there are other methods).
Hello, the Daily Diary is a great place to start, would you like to join us and post your menu for tomorrow and check out what everyone is eating? Here's the link, hope to see you there! x
For me - I was 80kg - now around 63kg I knew I couldn't starve myself . This is a healthy eating plan to maintain for life . My knees ached and my back groaned but this was 100% due to the amount of weight they carried . You can only eat what you buy so menu plan and buy for those meals then you don't have anything else . This saved me money too . I used Myfitnesspal free app to guide me around balancing nutrients as so much hidden sugar is in products as well as transfats . I eat porridge for breakfast as it fills me up and stops me snacking . Salad with fish , cottage cheese or a 2 egg omelette then a 5- 600 cal evening meal with loads of veg and maybe yogurt , fruit , low cal jelly . Sip an options hot choc drink if you crave sugar . The odd handful of unsalted nuts bought in the baking aisle can be a decent treat . Exercise - start with walking . Swimming is good but obviuosly not now . I started Zumba . Start with just 1 song on You Tube and progress to a class. You seem almost identical to me . I took me over a year to shed the weight but after 3 months I could notice a real difference . Clothes are a joy to buy . I have confidence to change jobs and my mental health is on a new par .
thank you, I will try that. I do have 2 dogs and a horse and 6 grandchildren. but with the situation at the moment only just started seeing the grandchildren so exercise was a bit slow. Its my snacking at work which is the worse time but do now bring a packed lunch in.
