Hello ThePharmacist 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 Pharmacist, I'm guessing you want to start in 2021 to get New Years eve out of the way first, because you think you will then have to suffer and go hungry in order to diet and lose weight? As a scientist yourself you may want to assess some more recent ideas in that regard, they certainly have helped me to lose weight and feel healthier in myself without feeling as though was depriving myself or going hungry. I would suggest watching Dr Robert Lustig's online videos called "The Skinny on Obesity" and Southport GP Dr David Unwin Lecture "HOPE" for people with type 2 diabetes (I know you haven't mentioned diabetes, but the theory behind losing excess weight is still interesting). Good look, spend time between now and 1st Jan deciding how you want to tackle this - there is support and advice here for whichever method you choose. Good luck and wishing you a healthier 2021.

Welcome pharmacist - you’ve come to the right place for support. I hope you’ll join a weekly weigh in day that fits your schedule. Today the Tuesday Trimmers are stepping on the scales to see how much damage Christmas has done 😉 and plotting to get back on track.
