I'm a newbie

Hi, just joined up. I think the site looks fab and just what I need. I'm looking forward to sharing ideas and experiences with you all.

Welcome to the group. Great site for getting a variety of views on all topics food, weight and health wise. I find that there are often conflicting views on the best way forward and this I believe is a good thing. I think that by getting a variety of views helps me to make decisions on what is the right way forward for myself. This dieting lark is definitely not a one size fits all thing and what works for one may not necessarily work for another.

Good luck and keep sharing

Welcome to the forum. This is a very motivating place and it has certainly helped me to lose weight. Have you checked out the pinned posts for newbies either on the right hand side of the screen or at the bottom depending on your device. It gives lots of helpful advice about how to use the site and also information about the Monday morning weigh in. Keep posting and good luck and determination 😀

Hi Mindy,

Welcome to the NHS Weight Loss Forum here on HealthUnlocked - this forum is a great place for support, motivation and inspiration to lose weight.

Take a look at the NHS 12 Week Plan, it contains recipes and exercise plans to follow for the first twelve weeks of your journey.

Take a look at the left of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile device) and find the 'Pinned Posts' section, here you can find various challenges that are going on in the forum (take part in whatever ones take your fancy - if any do at all!), there is also a recipe collation there and any important posts from Admin

Also to your left is the 'Topics' area, here you can find posts related to each topic, it's good if you are looking for something specific

The Monday Group Weigh In takes place weekly and is posted alternately by Zest and moreless (I suggest you follow them, they are also our site admins), a morning session post is put live just before 06:30 and runs until midday, while the afternoon session runs from midday until 18:00 on the Friday of that week - it'll be running as usual this coming Monday, so, if you wish, you can go and post your starting weight there

All that remains is to wish you a great first week on the forum - be involved because it's where we get our boost each day

Rob
