Motivation needed desperately

[yogababe]

Not really sure how this site works, but looking for inspiration and support. Put on 1.5 stones since last July and finding it impossible to get focused ... and connection would be appreciated x

I'm sure someone will be along presently with some links, there are many supportive and useful threads here.

Did you already have a weight-reduction plan in mind or do you plan to browse for ideas? 😄

Hello yogababe and a very warm welcome to the Weight Loss Forum

I agree with SofaJockey in that you need to have a plan in mind, have a good look at your eating pattern and try to find easy ways to change. Do you know what has caused the gain? Lockdown has been tough on many of us ☹️

If you haven’t already then please read the Welcome Message in Pinned Posts here healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... Please read it carefully so you can find all the information you need to find your way around the forum.

As a peer to peer support group we rely totally upon mutual encouragement. Nothing beats joining in, reading posts and replying to others. Our Group Weigh-in and the Daily Diary are probably the best places to start

If you haven't already taken it, here's a tour of the forum

healthunlocked.com/?tour to help you find your way around. I’d start with Pinned Posts, especially the Welcome Message, but please ask if you have any questions

Best wishes in your weight loss journey

Indigo 😊

Hi!

I think you need to browse some different diets and see what suits your lifestyle/type of foods you like. Because this will be easier if it’s a lifestyle change rather than a quick fix.

You’ve come to the right place! I’m on LCHF the community for that here is excellent. So supportive. You’ll find lots of helpful pinned posts on their home page too. It’s working for me and I felt like you only 5 wks ago. I feel SO much better mentally and physically since drastically reducing carbs and increasing fat. Also lost 11lbs. Good luck.

Like me your weight has crept up slowly so I guess we can't expect it to drop off quickly.

Just by making a commitment to this group is a great start.

Good Luck Yogababe.

Hello yoga babe this site has certainly helped me to get focused. Best thing is do the daily diary and plan ahead what you are going to have. You can log your weight as well so that we can all encourage you and you us. Good luck
