Glad to hear you're keen to lose weight and get healthy - and welcome to the Weight Loss NHS community forum. Here's a link to our Welcome Newbie thread:
We also have some great posts in the Pinned posts area, and I hope you'll perhaps consider participating in our Monday group weigh-ins, if that idea appeals.
Those scales are nasty things aren't they? You have come to the right place so get measured and weighed and join the monday morning weigh in to start your journey of weight loss and improved health John
They are very scary 😀..it was a big shock to me I have to admit...I'm glad my friend Lou told me about this site...we are supporting each other too so it helps 😊
good luck crazykat, I started 6 days ago and I'm finding support from the forum and using myfitnesspal app really helpful. Making the decision to start is the hardest step (oh and of course keeping it off for ever more but that's why slow and steady is the key).
