Hi Chrissydoll and welcome to this amazing forum. I suggest you spend some time clicking about to find your way around. It's easier if you have a lap-top as there are several threads. If you’re using another device I strongly suggest that you use the web page as opposed to the app at least until you know your way around.
Have a good read of the pinned post “Welcome Newbies” and follow every thread.
Here’s the link to the pinned posts, healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...
Here’s the link for the “Tour” of the forum. If you haven’t already taken it.
I strongly suggest you read and contribute to the Daily Diary and participate in a Weekly Weigh in.
As you mentioned wanting to lose a stone and a half in the next few months , you may enjoy our Spring Challenge.

You will find there's loads of tips about better eating, from other members. Sharing your daily menu not only helps you stay committed, it can help other members too.
Good luck I hope to "see " you around.

Hello anita cumbrianwobble 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.
As 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.🍀😉
thank you for your help and advice
Have a look at those Pinned Posts and join in with the Monday weigh in. They're a great team and will make you very welcome
thank you very much i cant seem to find events
Go for Pinned Posts instead. Tabby has given you a link for Pinned Posts. Click on that and it will take you to all our activities. The first post is Welcome Newbies. Scroll down and have a look at all of them. The Monday Mass Movers will be third on the list in the morning which is a good time to post as that's when you'll get most chat.

Hi, I am a newbie too, trying to continue my goals\ to health and being fit. We have to start somewhere, and when a Person starts lagging, TRy to find ways to encourage yourself. I thought this site might do that.
