Hi Lizzie, Welcome to the forum . My suggestion is that you use the web page as opposed to the app. until you know your way around this forum. I spent quite a lot of time following all the links in the welcome message. There are lots of different feeds going on. Once you know where you want to go it's easier.

Are you going to join the Daily Diary, it's a great place for sharing plans and getting tips.

Hello and welcome, Lizziex0x

It isn't you, diets don't work for anyone. As soon as you get to the end and start eating "normally", that pounds pile back on, usually bringing others with them. I suggest you ditch the idea of dieting and go for real food, home cooked, plenty of veg, healthy fats, whatever meat and fish you like; avoid processed stuff and that includes anything labelled low fat or light or diet. That will be suitable for you and the family, both for your weight and general health.

Here's an easy summary: just two pages so you could print it off and use it when planning your shopping list and meals phcuk.org/wp-content/upload...

You'll find all the information you need about the forum in our Pinned Posts

healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... including a Welcome message, the Daily Diary and the current weigh in: a good place to start is by joining a weekly weigh in on the day of your choice, and using the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans.

Take your time exploring. This gives you a tour of the forum healthunlocked.com/?tour=true and, along with Pinned Posts, will show you how things work. I hope you'll become an active member and we will see you joining in around the forum

Forgot to say: don't use the app: it doesn't give access to the whole of the site, which can be very frustrating: ditch the app and use the website, whatever device you're on

Thank you so much any ideas on where I can get ideas on meals etc.. I’m not very good at cooking 🤦🏼‍♀️

[BridgeGirl Administrator 2 stone in reply to Lizziex0x]

Two areas: -

- the Daily Diary, where members post their meal plans: they're always happy to talk about cooking and recipes

- Topics, where there are lots of different recipes for mains, salads, soups etc.

If you scroll through the Pinned Posts, which I recommend, you'll find these FAQs healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... which explain where to find the DD, Topics and all the different areas
