Hi everyone

I've signed up today on a bit of a wim.

I lost 2 stone a couple of years ago for some weddings I was attending including my own lol! However after all the hard work I've put all the weight back on. I love running which I am trying to get back into but my vice is later. Especially on a weekend. Any hints or tips would be fab. X

Hello Laney82 and welcome to the Weight Loss Forum 😊

You are not alone in losing and then re-gaining weight πŸ˜• Successful ,long term weight stability requires a different mindset, and accepting that any changes to eating will have to be permanent. For this reason finding the right eating plan for you is essential. So do some research and also some thinking about the way you eat and why 😊

Here are a few suggestions on how to get the most out of the forum. Please note if you are using the new HU App many of these features are not available so I suggest you use the full website version.

The first place to look is at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread first and move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you 😊

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news 😊

Have a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as many people have had success with it. Also use the BMI checker to find your target calories, it's important to eat enough. This was a major turning point for me, realising I could eat anything I wanted as long as the calories are accounted for 😊

Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate 😊

The forum also have group weigh-ins every day if you wish to take part. The posts can always be found in the Events section on the 'home' page 😊

You'll notice a grey box next to people's names, these are achievement badges, and as a new member you may have a 'Newbie' badge. If you have any questions or would like a Newbie badge please just ask😊

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too 😊

Best wishes

Anna
