Hi, I’m very new here. Just joined in fact. I have a lot of weight to lose, roughly 8-10 stone. I was wondering if anyone was the same and are there any groups doing a Friday weigh in or something?thanks in advance

Hello and welcome Journeyto13 😊 Well done on taking that first step, this is a very friendly forum and nothing beats getting involved. If you haven’t already, then please have a good look through Pinned Posts here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

Our two most popular Events are the Daily Diary and the Group Weigh In, both can be found there. Just pop along to the Weigh in in the morning, and add your weight to the reply box, then go and say a few words of encouragement to your fellow weighers 😊

Best wishes in your weight loss journey

Hi Journeyto13 You've made a great start coming here and I'm sure one of our wonderful TeamAdmin will be along to welcome you officially. There is a weigh in every day, you choose which day suits you and stick to that day coming back every week to report your losses (and occasional gains)

I started at over 21 stone 2 years ago and have now lost 8 stone (although I weigh in kilograms hence the 50kg badge next to my name) I have about another stone to go but seem to have stalled but by coming here regularly I get lots of support and great ideas.

So it is possible, set yourself small goals and don't ever be hungry! Have a look at the Daily Diary where we post our eating plans for tomorrow. Good luck and I look forward to seeing your progress.

This is so heartening! Thankyou for telling me, it makes it seem a little less daunting knowing someone else has been there before. Thankyou and WELL DONE!!!

Hi Journeyto13 , i have just joined as i would like to loose weight too but really struggling at the moment because i do well with my eating then I just self destruct 😣

[Journeyto13 in reply to Lilly1986]

Lily I am the same, that's why I've decided that as soon as i wake tomorrow, that's the beginning of something new. Felt too bad, for too long and its the definition of madness - doing the same thing everyday but expecting different results.

If you fancy a buddy, I'm all in.
