Hi All,

I hope its ok to introduce myself.

I'm new here - joined today - and tbh I need support in my weightloss journey. I seem to have stalled for a good few months now and I'm just getting back on track now.

I started my weight loss journey back in June 2024 when I weighed 230.8 lbs and 46.6% body fat. I did well until late October 2024 but I have stayed around the same since then - going up over christmas time because of my love of cheese and 🍷

I'm 47 - 5'5 - and I'm now 204.4 lbs and 39.6% body fat according to my scales.

My goal weight right now is 154 lbs and I will reassess as I'm going along.

I do set myself mini targets to meet along the way so that I feeling some sort of accomplishment.

My daily routine is to eat twice a day, calorie count, stop eating about 6pm and walk as much as possible.

I really would love to lose weight before the summer so I can look relatively ok in my dresses/ shorts and tees etc.

I'm feeling very motivated and energised to do this so I hope I can sustain it.

I would love any and all tips/motivation thrown my way - and to be held accountable.

Thanks

Crackerhead πŸ™‚

Good morning Crackerhead and welcome to our forum. Well done on your loss so far, 26lbs is a fantastic achievement.

You'll find all the members here very friendly and supportive, this forum thrives on peer to peer support and as such we have some pinned posts that we strongly advise you join in with. Here's a link to them healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

Joining in with the Weekly Weigh In (WW) and the Daily Diary (DD) are the best places to get started. You could just copy and paste your post above as a reply to the WW and get the ball rolling. Then pop onto the DD and introduce yourself along with your meal plans. Once you've got comfortable with that, look at the other Pinned posts and join in with anything that piques your interest :-)

Wishing you the best of luck. We look forward to seeing you joining in around the forum. xx

It was a real game changer for me Crackerhead.

Sunday evenings (at 9pm) is the time for closing this week's posts and opening the ones for next week (except the Daily Diary which swaps at 6pm). Because of that you may not get many replies today. It would be worth having a good look through so you get the idea of how they work, and then actually responding tomorrow when you find lots of members to interact with :-) xx

Welcome 😊 You have found the friendliest forum ever! Everyone here is super supportive. You’ve lost quite a lot already and it sounds like you have a great plan going forward. I hope you join the weekly weigh ins, perhaps the Daily Diary and I’ve heard that an Easter challenge is coming up.

Good! You just choose a day, and the return every week on that day and report your weight. It keeps me on my toes 😊
