I cannot do this

I am trying to weigh in with the Wednesday group, but I can t see how to do it.

Frankly I find the whole web support really difficult. The people are lovely, but I cannot use the system

Forgive me but it is time to leave as I cannot do this

You've logged your weight on today's weigh-in, gizmocsd, so don't give up now.

You've only been here 9 days, give it a bit longer and get some more practice. Maybe this could help healthunlocked.com/weight-l... :)

Thank you. I find the site so confusing. I can find nothing and once I find what I am looking for I cannot see what / if I have posted.

Are you using a computer, or a phone?

Are you using the HU app?

Are you relying on email alerts to get to the forum?

On my tablet "Pinned Posts" is on the left near the bottom of the home page and on the right in blue it says "see all" just click on that :-) x

Now that you've found Pinned Posts, go back to the weigh-in and scroll down to the bottom for your entry.

On the way, you can reply to some of the other Wobble Warriors :)

I must admit I am really not that knowledgeable or capable when it comes to navigating computer things. I haven't used it at all on my phone but I guess the screen might look a bit different on a phone. I am on a PC. When I go on to Health Unlocked I can see on the left hand side of my screen a constant feed of posts from all the HU groups I am in, every time I come on the computer I just scroll down through everyone's posts looking for things that catch my interest, and reply if I feel like it. Right at the top on the bar at the top of the screen there is a little box called My Hub, if I click on that it lists the various Health Unlocked groups I am in, one of which is the Weight Loss Group. If I click on Weight Loss in My Hub the feed on the left side of the screen switches to being just Weight Loss posts. In the Weight Loss group, on the right hand side of the screen, there is a bunch of stuff, including the Pinned Posts. The Daily Diary, and the day's weigh-in post (today happens to be Wednesday Wobble Warriors) Daily Chat and other useful things.

So, to weigh in today I could click on the weekly weigh in for W W Wobblers in the pinned posts and reply to that post with my weight (I also found it by just scrolling through the feed)

Next Wednesday I weigh in again.In several years on here, being somewhat untechnical, I have never really got much beyond this, just by scrolling on the feed or clicking on the pinned posts I have had plenty to keep me happy and occupied. I just scroll and click about whenever I have a free moment :)

I can genuinely say coming here daily has made a huge difference to my weight loss and general well being :) So hang in there :) :)

Also notifications appear on my email which I click on, say if someone has replied to something I said, or someone I am following has posted something. Clicking on the notification link in my email takes me straight to the thread in question.

Sometimes I hit on things by blind luck :) :)

Good luck :)

Imnot good with technology and struggle to I weigh on Friday but don't always manage to find weigh in and I haven't been doing daily diary. But I find it really encouraging seeing how other people are doing so keep going and please excuse me if I put things on the wrong page.

The weigh in is always in Pinned Posts, as is the Daily Diary. Here's how you find Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

If you're using the HU app, get rid of it and use your browser to reach the forum via the website. Good luck with your weigh in tomorrow :)

Hi Missy41-21 and Hidden , it isn't the easiest and unfortunately that's not under our control :)

Get rid of the app if you're using it, always use the website via your browser, and head for Pinned Posts as that's where all the activities are :)

Hi gizmocsd, I agree with More less and others here. I too was addled at the beginning. This forum is probably the most supportive kindest helpful group that I have ever encountered, Admin are volunteers that do an admirable job,Good luck,

That's very kind, thank you :)

Aye it’s a bit of a fiddle when you first go on 🤦🏻‍♂️ I’m into my 6th week and still finding out stuff. Me personally I only go on the Monday mass movers, it took me ages to navigate my way through that, I keep a template of my statistics on a note on my phone and edit them every week then copy/paste onto my weekly message. It’s the only way I found I can do it. Not even sure if that’s the correct way but it works for me. But stay on please and stick with it because all of a sudden it will click & the support is a great help, good luck 🤞🏼 😊
