    Absolutely loving this thread! So much amazing weight loss and lots of encouragement from everyone. Well done to all the ladies who have reached their target weight, and also well done to everyone who is on their way! I'm only really starting out in the journey of losing weight for the wedding. One year exactly to go! So there's no better time to start! So excited :) If anyone has some healthy tips for eating well- I'd really appreciate it! Also I love salads but find it hard to vary them up... Can I ask what people put in theirs? I get bored after a while of the same thing!

    Salad wise the basics I put are lettuce , a pepper , red onion , cucumber then I sometimes add a bit of Greek feta cheese or chicken or some pesto pasta . All of this I do weigh to check how many cals everything is. :)

    Sooo upset - I was on track to be down a dress size end of August/early September (my final target to get me back where I was 10 years ago) and I'm now rocking a hip injury which means no gym until its healed! I tend to get hip pains every few months as my IT bands shorten which is usually remedied by hitting the foam roller but today it hasn't made a difference. I should still make target by the wedding (so long as I'm not out of action for more than 6 weeks) but I don't want to wait!! Looks like I'm sticking to healthy eating and upper body exercises.

    I know... but the healthy eating is second nature now so it doesn't feel like I'm working at anything. I genuinely get really grumpy when I can't do a workout. I am sooo going to show everyone the meaning of hardcore when I'm back in action and try to reign in the pity party in the meantime!

    Showgirl are you allowed to swim? Swimmings very easy on the joints.

    I've stayed the same for 2 weeks now, last time I hit a plateau it lasted 4 weeks but then I had a huge loss, so didn't mind too much.

    I've really lost my weight loss mojo guys :( and can't see it coming back anytime soon.

    I'm helping my sister with a wedding today so no idea what we'll be having for lunch and no time for any exercise and then we're visiting my fiancé's family which again leaves no time for exercise and food is always shocking healthy wise when we're there :/

    We also have a trip to bruges booked for the last week of the summer holidays... So I think I might have to just really make sure I get on the diet band wagon in September.... can't decide whether to just get straight back on sw if I can or try something like fast slim.... I'm getting measured for my dress in October (I know it can be altered if I lose weight after then but I'd rather just be at my ideal weight when I'm measured to be honest)

    Donna it is hard fitting in fitness when you are so busy especially when you go places where the nicest food doesn't always means the healthy option . I know it's small but what about doing stuff like 30 day push up or squat challenge it doesn't take long but it's something more than nothing :)

    I'm struggling at the mo as well. I was being soo good, eating salads, lean meats and rice most evenings and OH lost a lot of weight as well (although I don't know how, he doesn't even look like he has any weight to lose!!) We were going running every other morning and I felt soo good, but just slipped out of it.. :/ I much prefer spending an extra hour in bed in the mornings!!

    Trying to get back on the wagon and eating healthier meals. Also taking up more dance classes which should help as well. I'm just glad I've got about a year until I chose my dress!! :) xx

    Swimming would be far too painful but I'm getting on OK with the upper body moves... thankfully I have a load of equipment at home specifically for when I can't get to the gym and at least I don't have to do any burpees at the moment. Its just really frustrating having to cancel classes - 4 classes cancelled yesterday and 5 today. Fingers crossed I'll be able to make the 4 tomorrow. The pain is starting to subside a little and I now have a bit more range of movement so I think I should be able to get back into it next week.

    I know how you feel, I was in a rut for months and have re-discovered my motivation! I think knowing I only have 3 and 1/2 months left has shocked me into action!! I'm using my fitne33 pal at the moment and finding it really useful to help keep track of what I'm eating! Also trying to go to the gym 2-3 times a week.

    Showgirl - the main thing is that you get yourself well and then ease back in gently. Sending get well wishes xxx

    I'm going to try and do my crunches every day while we're away, might see if I can get some squats and other bits in as well... it's not perfect though especially considering I know how bad the food will be :/

    I just hope I don't look too big for our engagement shoot next week

    I use their online version and once you are in the 'zone' as it were I find it simple enough to follow. I've never tried Slimming World as WW has worked for me but I've heard good things about that too.

    I used to go to class and I'm toying with the idea of going back, but to be honest I would prefer to save the money.

    I'm being really good this evening.... although food at the wedding I was at today wasn't good (sandwiches and then I had a massive slice of chocolate cake) I keep being tempted by sweet treats tonight and so far have not given in :) I might have a yogurt in a bit.

    I'm going to do my best to have good food while we're visiting the in laws, but usually because the food I'm being given is all bad I just think meh stuff it if I'm being forced to eat unhealthy food I'll have all the stuff I enjoy as well... so going to try and beat myself out of this way of thinking. We always go to McDonalds on the way down, so my first test will be to either take my own food or to get a salad from there.... I just need to keep reminding myself that their burgers are rubbish anyway.... the hardest is going to be when I'm down there with the in laws and the sweet stuff and wine ect. is being shoved in my face (along with meals which are just shocking diet wise as well)

    I did Slimming World for about 6 months last year but was really disheartened as I only managed to lose 10lbs, despite being really good and following the plan. I enjoyed being on the plan as I learnt so much more about food and new things to cook - although I don't follow the plan now, I still apply things from the plan i.e. having 1/3 of my plate as salad and vegetables, and I still remember how many 'syns' a few things are which sometimes puts me off having them!!!

    I would like to join again but I know I don't have the motivation at the moment, so it would just be a waste of money. xx

    Well it was my final weigh in today before my first dress fitting on Saturday and I lost 3lb!! So only 3lb off my target weight!

    Super happy! So glad I did away with all the fads and just stuck to healthy eating and exercise! Got my final PT session tomorrow, she's been amazing at helping me tone up! I've lost nearly 6 inches off my waist this year!

    This week at work 5 different people have told me I look good and they can tell I've lost weight, makes you feel good when others notice it

    The things us women do to try and look good! It really is ridiculous!! I walked 10km yesterday then went swimming at night. Trying to get into the swing of it but it's so hard! Well done to everyone who's lost this week :)
