Hello Jacxs and welcome to the weight loss forum. Please have a good read of the Pinned Post “Welcome Newbies”. healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

This is a very large community with lots going on. May I suggest you use the webpage as opposed to the app at least until you know your way around. Take your time and follow every thread so that you know exactly what’s going on.

Here’s the link for a “Tour” of the forum ,if you haven’t already taken it.

If you are following the NHS plan please check your BMI on the NHS site and obtain the correct amount of calories for you.

The Daily Diary and the Weekly Weigh ins are very good places to begin. You will find the DD and WI in the Pinned Posts under “Events”

I find the Daily Diary a very good place to share my plans and get inspiration from other members, too. Once the day’s food is written down I’m far more likely to stay on track.

The key to success is participation, we are all on the same journey.

If you can’t find something just shout, there’s usually someone around.

I hope to “see” you around, Good Luck.🍀😉

Hi Jacks

Same here, finally got the strength to find my BMI- and find I am obese! It has been the incentive to start making a change. It will be a long journey but we are on the same road! Comfort eating is easy and getting out from that cycle is hard- reality. I’m in week1 too.

Many thanks. Yes, I have started the daily diary and will weigh in on Friday.

Hi and welcome It's a horrible word but it gives many of us the much-needed push so, for that reason, it does its job

[Lytham 3 stone in reply to Moreorless]

Hi, I wonder if you and Jacxs would like to join us on the weigh in? Here's the link, hope to see you there! x

Yes, there's a weigh in every day, you can join the Feel Good Friday Folk, I'm sure they'll make you very welcome, good luck! x
