Hi and welcome, Cleorai :)

We're really pleased that you've chosen to join us today and would be interested to know how you found out about Health Unlocked and this forum.

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), read the Welcome Newbie thread, then 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.

Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. 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.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the HOME page, bottom on a mobile.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

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.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey :)

Thank you. I'll try to remember to join in when I can. I'm not a very good team player. Perhaps this will take me out of my shell.

Taking part is what makes this forum successful Cleorai 😊 Even just reading the posts boosts our motivation 😊 Have a look at the Daily Diary to see what others are doing and how they make their eating work for them 😊

Hi Cleorai and welcome.

moreless hasn't pointed you towards the NHS 12 week plan. The idea is that it creates a sustainable lifestyle of eating and drinking, in that as and when you reach your final weight goal, you don't have to change what you do and therefore don't have to learn new ways.

Good luck!
