Hi I am Maria and I need to lose weight due to the impact it's having on my health. I have no willpower but it's time to change regardless.

Hi Maria, thank you for joining and welcome.

Most of us arrived here because we thought we had no willpower. It turns out that we do, it's just that sometimes (like most things in life) we need others to lean on when we feel like we can't go any further and this is a great place to get that support.

An administrator will reply to this post, explaining how you can start to plan to make changes to improve your health and how to get full use of this forum. Use your determination to make sure you read everything they say (if necessary more than once) as the plan they are setting out has helped so many people here.

Wishing you all the best on your journey.

Hi mariag67

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at 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.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

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

Take your measurements at the start together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

We have daily weigh ins so why not come along and join us today. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

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

Have a good first week.
