Day 2

[ShadowDee]

I've started with the 12 week plan. Day 1 was good, near the end of the day. My husband is not into any sort of diet whatsoever, bought me cool ranch nacho crisps. And I turned it down! I have to keep remaining strong throughout.

Hi and welcome, ShadowDee

Well done for getting off to a good start, by turning down the nachos

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.

Make 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.

We also run a Daily Diary, where we share our meal and exercise plans for the day. It's a great place to get ideas and to keep us focused. The link can also be found in Events.

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 moreless! I may look at the walking ones. I'm notorious for sitting at my desk having lunch. And I get an hour lunch too. So that needs to change.

Both of the exercise challenges take walkers, one records kilometers walked, the other minutes walked. You'd be welcome to join both

Good for you! Its so hard to resist temptation especially when it is right in front of you. Just think of the bigger picture. Keep strong and you will reach your goals. My husband is not into diets either and its hard to see him sitting there eating what you would like to eat but you are doing this for yourself and i am sure he will be proud of your achievements. If all else fails then succumb to the chips but weigh them out and add the portion into your calorie allowance 😉

Well done ShadowDee 😊

Don't think if it as turning things down, you are simply making a better choice on how to 'spend' your calories 😊
