For those using the nhs 12 week weight loss app are you having trouble entering the 1,400 calories as your target on the 'settings' page? My won't go any lower than 1,664!

Hello and welcome, Dottie-Daydream 😊

I'm not sure about the practicalities but it may well be that there's something in the app that adjusts for the appropriate calorie range for you. 1400 is generic and suits very few of us. You will find your range at the NHS BMI calculator.

You'll find all our groups and activities in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... , plus a Welcome message. A good place to start is with a weekly weigh-in on the day of your choice, and the Daily Diary, where members share their meal plans.

This gives you a tour of the forum healthunlocked.com/?tour=true and, along with Pinned Posts, will show you how things work. Active participation can be a great boost to your own efforts so I hope you'll become an active member and we will see you joining in around the forum 😊

PS the app doesn’t give access to all parts of the forum so we advise everyone to get rid of the app and log on to the full website using the browser on their phone

You're welcome :) It's unfortunate that they put that 1400 figure upfront as it is misleading.

Just follow that link to Pinned Posts: the Welcome Newbies post explains what's what and then you can do some exploring :)
