Newbie!

[AfreenA]

Hello everyone I have finally come to terms with the fact that I am obese with a BMI of 31, weighing 13 stones and age 26. I am determined to lose weight and have downloaded the 12 week plan to start me off. I hope I can stay on this path and not get way laid. Looking forward to getting to know you all too and your stories.

Hi AfreenA

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbies post in the Pinned post section on the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Take your measurements at the start along with a photo so you can see the changes and it can be very motivating on the days when the scale don't move.

We have daily weigh-ins so why not come and join us. You can find the weigh-in on the Home page in the Events on the right hand side. Just click on the post and state your starting weight and any loss/gain or maintain over the week.

To get the best out of the forum be active, share recipes, tips and experiences. Read through some of the posts they are very inspiring and motivating.

Have a good first week.
