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

Oooh not sure if I could do that!

I downloaded my f1tn3ss p@l yesterday so I can keep track of my weight, exercise and what I'm eating. Not really paying too much attention to the calories as am following SW more than anything, but I have been under my 1,500 calories for 3 days running now.

Today:

Breakfast - 3 egg omelette with spinach and cheese
Lunch - meeting my mum for lunch at a nearby pub. Will probably have a jacket potato with beans and a side salad or something
Dinner - chicken pasta bake with up with passata, veg stock, spinach, red onions and leeks. More veg on the side.

Well done MrsK :-)

Started slimming world last night! Heres hoping! 4 stone to loose :/

Lost 3.5lbs this week. Chuffed :)

Woo hoo! Another 3 this week so 9 lbs in a month :)

I've weighed myself this morning and lost 4.5lb :-) yay xx

Thanks Flossie x

But you're allowed.. it's Christmas ;)

Hate mince pies.. blurghhhh!

Ate my own weight at the carvery last night, was bloomin' yummy though!! Strict diet for the rest of the week! x

Despite having a very bad week, Iv lost 1lb on my first week of SW!!!!!

I stayed the same this week, I didn't get to any classes last week so thinking about it I didn't move much at all! Also probably hormone related as it was 4 weeks ago I gained a pound for no reason! :)

Week 2 wasn't so good! 2.5lb gain! :(

This week though H2B and I are having a bet, he thinks I will gain as have had alcohol and christmas party but I think maintain or lose. The loser of this bet pays for dinner out the following night! :)

will let you know on Wednesday! :)

Well done you MrsK! My diet is non-existant at the moment. I think I'm fighting a losing battle until Christmas is over!!

I've not been trying really hard, but needed to shed a few lbs before my christmas party on Saturday so my dress fitted me better. I've managed to lose a few so far, but it has taken a while to do so. I am hoping to keep it up. I've also been doing anything from 50-150 crucnhes a day depending and am noticing a difference already there. I also have big arms, always have even when I was really slim, so been doing exercises with my weights daily for them, they've not changed but you never know.

Good luck to all over the xmas period.

I was good yesterday, until we had chocolate yule log and white chocolate and raspberry cookies ;)

I'm with you on that one Emma. I would just be fighting a losing battle lol. Also using the excuse that I have been ill and my body needs stodgy and satisfying food to recover ;)

Lost half lb tonight. Next weigh in is Monday instead of weds so got yo be strict this weekend as want a good loss x

Well done!
I had a glass of cava last night to celebrate H2b's pay rise and bonus. I also made some mincemeat for my mince pies so had a spoonful of that to check the levels of lemon zest for alright.
Sounds petty but it's the small things that can throw me off!

Just been speaking to a guy who supports the same footy team as me.. not really a friend, more an acquaintance through a mutual love lol.. but anyway, he has been telling me he is considering a new business venture which involves speaking to customers and determining their goals - i.e. wanting to lose weight, build more muscle, even gain weight if they need to.. why they want to do this and how. So in my case I would say I want to lose weight through healthy eating and exercise with the motivation to look amazing on my wedding day. He would then send around 3 emails per week reminding you of your goals and checking on your progress, offering motivation and advice. So on the Tuesday he might send an email saying "have you done your exercise yet this week? Remember you want to look great in your wedding dress!" which is a friendly reminder that kicks you into action. He is thinking of charging about £20 per month for the service but said I can be his guinea pig free of charge while he works out if he can actually do it and if he is good at it. :)

Yeah I think he might be onto something! It's good for people who are too scared or worried about going to slimming groups, or to the gym etc. and is easily accessible as it is internet based and you don't actually have to meet him. I think it's great that it's a personal service and adds that little bit extra.. like you might use my ftn3ss p@l at the same time which is great for tracking, but it's not a personal service and it's easy to give up on and ignore. If you're getting reminders then you can't ignore them and it also guilt trips you if you've not been eating well or if you've not been exercising. Really pleased he's asked me to be his guinea pig! :)

Sounds great :)

I have eaten soo much rubbish the last few weeks I actually cannot wait to get back on the wagon. Feel disgusting!! Was going to start again on 1st Jan but think I shall be starting today instead. 3 stone to lose by this time next year! 2015 will be my year and I'm finally going to get my old self back.

I decided not to weigh myself either. I think I'll be better off not knowing the damage!!

I took the plunge and weighed myself. It appears I've only put on 2lbs over the Christmas period, which has lasted about 2 weeks in our household lol. I have eaten sooo much, god knows how I've gotten away with that one. I normally weigh myself in the mornings too and it's the time of the month in a few days. All set for a good start come 1st Jan :)

Ooooh could you message me the details of the ab and squat 30 day challenge please Vicki? Good idea to do something like that xx
