Welcome to our forum and glad to see you here. Every day is the right day to start looking after oneself and living healthier. January it's just as good as any other month to start :)

It would be great if you were to head to our Weigh In and post your starting weight there, by clicking Reply to the host: healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

You will meet other people there who are at different stages but all willing to support each other.

You can find other events and challenges in our Pinned Posts: healthunlocked.com/weight-l...

Hope to see you around, as we all find that actively participating makes it easier to stay on track.

Good Morning Harlex. Welcome as Nordi says you will find the group very kind and supportive!

Just a thought: I never make new years resolutions because personally I find there is too much pressure from other people - "what was yours have you broken it yet etc...."

I finally made my decision to lose some weight about 2 and a half years ago at the end of my 50's. I licked the misery eating, found out acid reflux made me 'feel hungry', started sorting out a muscle injury and got back into exercise. Then I looked for a supportive weight loss group and found one here.

So I hope for you that this is a new lifestyle idea, the new forever you. Don't wait until you are older to do all the things you wanted to because you put on weight. We have a weekly weigh in and just remember don't get down (feelings) get down (weight). Feelings are unreliable!!!

Be encouraged

Hi Harlex,

Like you I have a lot to lose and rejoined yesterday. It feels to me like a mountain to climb, so I am breaking it down into a stone at a time - seems more achievable. Have you joined the weigh in? Or the Easter challenge? It might give you a kick start. What food plan are you following?

I hope you have a good week. Take care of you,
