Wedding Forum - Official Weight Loss Thread - hints and...

Scales don't say that I have lost any weight but I feel much better about myself recently. Have been dancing for 4.5 hours a week so I am probably toning up and building muscle. H2b commented last night that my belly looks smaller and that I look like I've lost weight around my face :)

Yeah, definitely take your measurements MrsRobson2Be as you will probably find you will lose the inches but it won't necessarily reflect on the scales! Will save you getting downhearted about it by measuring as you will be able to see that you are actually losing and toning up :)

This isn't diet relating, but is health related.. I'd never really thought about it before but my dad and step mum were talking about drinking tap water the other day - we have hard water where we live - saying it wasn't good for you and could be the reason why h2b possibly has kidney stones. It's scared me a little.. is it actually bad for you or does it not really matter? Would it be worth buying one of those filter jugs or buying bottled water instead? xx

Well weigh in day and this week 2.5 lbs off and dead on a certain stone which I am determined to get under . From today onwards I have a busy few days with stuff that involve set meals (doubt healthy) and drinks so will be interesting to see how I manage with the weight :)

ive now dropped from 15st 3 lbs to 13st 9lbs in 12 weeks im starting my wedding dress shopping at the end of september =)

weigh on day tomorrow but imnot holding out much hope, will see what tomorrow brings though :)

well done Samantha that's an amazing weight loss x

I have stayed the same weight AGAIN!! surely the scale has to move soon, I've been the same weight for around 6 weeks now, so frustrating!! My body really doesn't want to get into the next stone bracket.

I'm glad I took measurements though as I have lost 1 inch from my waist, .5 from my bum, & .5 from each thigh. I forgot to take measurements when I started the 30 day shred so they were taken on day 3 (22nd August) so my inch loss may well have been more, but I'm happy to have lost that in 4 days.

i found out i wasnt eating enough calories , so ive started eating more and ive been losing weight =0 how amazing another pound this week 5 more to go to reach the 2 stone mark

Well this is getting ridiculous!!
I have stayed the same again, 7 weeks now of not losing anything. I know that I have a calorie deficit so should be losing every week, so hard to keep eating healthy when there is no reward at the end.

You have plenty of time! Try a body pump class or getting some small weights to use around the house. They can be incorporated into squats, lunges etc :)

what's the 30 day shred?

I keep yo yo-ing i lose half a stone, then put it back on, then lose it again! Very frustrating - getting fed up not being able to eat and drink what i want anymore.

Also hate that have lost my boobs but thighs are still chunky - definitely a pear shape!

I had a week off work last week so I let myself have a break from the diet too. I've stayed the same so I'm chuffed. Back on it today though :-) x

I lost 2 Ib this week woohoo 13st 8 now, was so proud of myself earlier there was loads of crap out at tea time and as much as I was eyeing it up and did think about a biscuit I resisted and had my fruit instead :)

Well done ladies. My scales are broken so I am unintentionally avoiding them for now :)
Tried body combat on Sunday which I loved, and did body pump for the second time last night which was also good. Spoilt for choice in terms of gym classes at the moment!
Going to be doing a weekly 5k run from this Saturday aswell, parkrun is finally coming to my town! Used to be a 30 minute drive!

Walked to school and back twice today as the weather was dry also done 18 lengths at swimming so I'm happy with that hoping that the walking and swimming help me as well as watching what I'm eating

Stayed the same weight which I am pleased about as expected a gain :)

well done emma a size 14 is my target size :)

Does anyone know of any good back supports? When I'm running, I get back pain down my right side. It goes away when I stop running but I don't want to stop! I bought new trainers and they've helped a little bit, but I still need a bit more support. Thanks in advance x

Woop well done Emma :)

Has anyone done anything like the special K 2 week challenge ?

Hi I get married on the 28th August 2015 and I have recently noticed the weight creep on and I've decided that i want to be a size 10 - 12 for the wedding I'm currently a 14 -16. I'm good with breakfast and dinners for healthy eating but down fall is lunches. Any help or suggestions on how i can lose this weight would be greatly appreciated :)

Thanks Ladies, I'm doing WW online. I'm not getting married until 2016 but I want to lose a stone more in total and try to maintain x

Weigh in tomorrow morning I don't think I've lost anything took my periods (sorry tmi) and I've been having major cravings during the week and gave into them also I didn't track but I did walk to school three days last week it's the most I can do with working two days and went swimming too.

29lbs down so far. Ideally I'd like to lose another few lbs but I had my dress fitting end of last week and the dress lady has now taken in away to be altered so I guess I need to focus more on maintaining. Would have ideally liked to be at least 1/2 stone lighter xxx

Mrs T Hurley 2B - do some core strengthening exercises everyday: plank, crunches, push ups (on your toes), Russian twists, etc. If it works your abs then it will give greater support to your back. Worth also speaking to a PT who sepcialises in running technique to see if any changes there would help.

1/2lb gone this week - better than a gain :)

Had bootcamp and cx work last night. Shattered this morning! Xx
