Hi Suesue25,

Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum, and it's great to hear you're about to start the NHS 12 week plan. I would recommend having a look at the Welcome Newbie post - it was collated by moreless and it's in the Pinned posts area (top right-hand-side of the homepage). Also, if you click on 'view more' you'll find a Recipe collation post, which is worth a look.

If you would like to join us in the Monday group weigh-in session, then have a look at this link, and feel free to join in - if you like the look of it. I realise weekly weigh-ins aren't everyone's cup of tea, but if you think it might be motivating for you to be part of a larger group, then do join us! :

Wishing you a great week ahead.

Hi suesue! i used to sit at a desk all day at my job and gained 75 pounds in 8 years. we were not supposed to snack while we were at work, i was a customer care rep on the phone, but we did. i used to do puzzles like 500 piece puzzles of a pretty horizon or whatever but i still snacked. i used to snack out of boredom too but now i try to eat 3 meals a day at the dinner table with a plate and a napkin, sort of like an event rather than just a meal. i do snacks that way too. i try not to eat in the car, which i used to do really bad, and standing up all that good stuff. it is just a habit you kind of have to try to break with a good habit to take its place.
