Discouraged

[Heavymetalfan]

Hi. New to the group. I'm feeling frustrated and discouraged. The more I try to lose weight, the more I gain. I do well a few days a week then overdo it.

Hello Heavymetalfan 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

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.🍀😉

Write down everything you eat and drink, everyday. Make sure you keep within your calories. Exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes every day - this can be anything from aerobics to a brisk walk. My fitness pal is a free app that you can use to log your food and exercise.
