I found you by chance yesterday and giving it a go. Not a great one for social media but wondered what role others find for this site? I suppose what I'm saying is how does it go from shouting in the wind to something positive. I can see having somewhere to post your weekly weight a benefit but what else?
Perhaps I should add that I made the decision to lose weight as a number of changes in my life. I cannot say why now except the time was right and I'm imbracing change. But there has to be more than just the number (my weight). I want to feel lighter on the inside as well if that makes any sense.
Good morning and welcome, Rose256
I'm not a big social media user, either, and this is the first forum I ever joined. What benefits does it have? Well, the weigh in is not just about posting your weight weekly as we can all do that in our diaries: it's about being part of a team, giving and receiving encouragement through the high and low points. There's a Daily Diary where members post their meal plans and I've picked up several ideas there that are now regular favourites. There's a place to post your exercise/activity, one for people managing their alcohol intake, a daily chat post and a book club. And there's a new challenge - Cut Down, Cut out, Increase - starting today, for members to make small changes each week. Everywhere, every thread is about encouraging each other, rather than "posting and running", so that might appeal to you.
You'll find all of those by following this link healthunlocked.com/weight-l... to Pinned Posts. Have a look at them all and see if you'd like to join us and if any could help you on your journey.
All the best
