Hi Girls, It's that time of year again where yo sit and think about resolution to have. And for most of us (as it us with most women) we decide to shed a few pounds. Is anyone planning losing quite a lot of weight before their big day? I plan on losing two stone and have 2 and half years to do this (would like to this by next xmas though). Are you planning on and particular diets or do you have any tips for someone who has never dieted before?
xx

Hi
My new years resolution last year was to lose some weight and I did it! I followed slimming world and found it amazing. I am still on it now and it revolves around healthy eating and changing the way you cook things to make it healthier.
The classes are only £5 a week which is great for the support. Fad diets will never work, especially if you have two and a half years to go, you may lose lots of weight in one go but as you eat normally again it will creep back on.
Find out where your local SW group is and give it a go.
Also exercise is the best thing to. You can get anyway with being a bit naughty food wise if you make up for it in the gym!

Yeah ill be back on weight watchers in the new year until then I ain't even looking at diets and resolutions until then! I'm an omanomanomanomnivore! X

CommentAuthorprincesspixie
my plan is to do SW but not go to the meetings £5 a week is a lot to a full-time mum and part-time student. I just buy the magazines instead so i've got plenty of recipes and inspiration xx

I'm joining SW in January or maybe feb depending on money! Lost 2 1/2 stone with then before and would like to lose the same again! It's weird though I'm more concerned about what I look like on honeymoon than in my dress!!

Omg I def have to! I'm such a Heffer at the moment.
Not going to worry over Christmas but next year I'm in mega 'MUST lose this belly!!' Mode!!!
CommentAuthorStephanieM71
I lost 2 stone this year after seeing myself in christmas photos this time last year, I joined a free online website that you can use for counting calories and tracking calories burned through exercise as I can't get to evening ww or sw classes. If anyone wants the link I will happily share with you :)
I have gained back 3lbs already thanks to Christmas food lol so in January will be getting back to calorie counting as I'm sure there will be another cpl of pounds added by Jan 1st
CommentAuthorprincesspixie

CommentAuthorclairenina
I'll be starting before the new year. Low carb. It's the only way I will lose the amount of weight I need. All other diets don't seem to work for me
CommentAuthorthefuture:Mrs_Hurren

Im defo kick starting the exercise/diet routine again - although planning on starting this weekend as im finished work after today, and the sooner I build it into routine the better! Ive been really struggling though stuck at the same weight for a long time. I want to drop a stone for the wedding.. in 3 months! Is that do-able?! Xx

CommentAuthorStephanieM71
14 lbs in 12 weeks is tough but do-able. Health wise you should aim for 1-2lb a weeks. But to be honest exercising will change your figure so you may not feel the need to lose a stone. I highly recommend any exercise DVD by Jillian Michaels - she's amazing and it changes your shape so quickly. I wore a bikini for the first time since having my kids this summer after 60 days of doing her workouts, there are some on Utube but not the whole programme :)

I want to do more exercise but not loose any weight. In fact i need to put some on to get into my dress! I am very jiggly though, and my skin is saggy from losing weight so i would really like to try to improve this for my wedding in april. I started yesterday and had a leisurely go on the cross trainer for 20 mins. Plan on doing this most days now until i fly. Hoping to look a little improved in four months....maybe i should have started earlier.
Any tips for firming up skin? X
CommentAuthorhis duck
my best friend knows I struggle with weight and confidence so for my b'day bought me some hypno sessions!
Its brilliant only had two as leaving until after Xmas.
But already notice diffrrnce. Im fuller quicker, have more get up n go and determination.
Confidence is still poop but it will get better.
I really recommend it! Xx
Is a very lucky girl :)

CommentAuthorMrs T. 2 Be
I dont plan to lose a lot but would like to lose a few pounds. Nothing dramatic though as I am do feel comfortable in my body. Will probably do this by eating a little healthier as I am already fairly active. Not as active as I have been in the past though but I dont feel the time is right to start playing football again yet with the wedding approaching fast!

CommentAuthorprincesspixie
yeah its do-able but depends if 2 and a half stone is a realistic amount of weight to lose as in you've got that amount of weight to lose without making you ill i'm going for 2 stone in 12 months so not that much different xx

I'm same BeccyL (although a little heavier) all down to my lovely son i refuse to go shopping these days because I get upset and most of the time make up excuses not to go out so I don't have to put myself through it but completely had enough of feeling sorry for myself I've got two and half years to the wedding but want to be down to size at least a year before that xx
