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

Oh, my goodness! I'm just so bad at forum posting! I tried to write 'weight lose --rs', as in losing weight, but it's starred it out, and it makes it look like an insult! PLEASE nobody take offence, as absolutely none was intended!

Im back on WW properly now day 3 and im finding it a struggle but its my body just getting used to not having any junk, The good thing with this diet tho is as long as I don't go over the points its ok to have a bit of chocolate.

STeak and potato croquets and veg for dinner and im so looking forward to it :)

Hi girls when I first joined this site just over a year ago I joined this thread and lost the half a stone I wanted too and kept it off all summer :-) However over the winter it has crept back on :-(

My problem is I LOVE cooking and baking, which also means I eat a fair bit!! I also love socialising with friends and often eating out, whether its a trip to a coffee shop after the school run with the school mums, afternoon tea with friends or meals out with H2B!! Luckily I burn a few calories by running up to 10 miles every Sunday and one visit to the gym in the week, plus as a nurse I run round all day/night at work, and that's before I run around after my two girls!!

I started back on WW this week and have my first weigh in on Monday - I will lose this half a stone and keep it off for my wedding!

Good luck in reaching your individual targets :-)

Thanks for the support :) I'll try that hopefully get the ball rolling and stick to it!

Well done Emma :) Sounds like you really enjoyed yourself.

Have measured myself for the first time since 14th March and am VERY surprised.

I haven't been as strict on myself recently due to time restraints and being ultra busy at work (although that could have impacted on my results as I am based in the PE department at work!) and haven't been able to get to badminton for the last couple of weeks due to H2b working as much overtime as poss to ensure we aren't short for the wedding and playing badminton on your own is pretty much impossible lol! Also, its that time of the month and not sure about you ladies but when I am on I just eat rubbish!!

Anyway my current measurements are;

Bust - 38inches
Waist - 33inches
Hips - 39.5inches

Since 14th March I have (somehow) LOST another 2.5inches.

My starting measurements (14th January) were;

Bust - 41inches (lost 3inches)
Waist - 35.5inches (lost 2.5inches)
Hips - 43.5inches (lost 4inches)

So, in total since 14th January I have lost 9.5inches. :)

I need to invest in some scales or measuring tape :P I have taken to walking to and from work each day so that is 5 miles each day and then 4 hrs rushing around like a nutter at work :D

Dreaded weigh in for me tonight at ww. Been an up and down week. Not counted as went away for conference and didn't have a clue what anything was but generally been good and sticking to fruit and healthy meals. Except the other day I got set ridiculous targets with work (again) and it stressed me out so went to cinema with moh that night and we ate a burger as well as peanut m&ms ... Whoopsie. Comfort eater I am!

Losing weight is out the window this week I have a sinking col and just want to eat crap

I'm literally dangling over losing a stone since the end of January, but the last few pounds won't budge!! I see a lot of changes with my body, but my actual weight lose has seemed to have stopped! Sooooo frustrating! X

In some ways I wish I had the motivation to got to the gym, then I remember I have a man that loves me no matter what. We do enjoy going together when we can but I like the security of having him there when I go so don't go alone. On a positive note we are both using my fitness pal to record our meals and that is stopping me from over eating. Weight in day tomorrow, fingers crossed

I hope I lose alot of weight quickly. Mt dress doesn't still fit the top half of my body. Still got alot to lose around the back. Worried, as I only have a few months to go

Yay!! Lost 2lb this week!! Need to lose another stone before dress fittings in July so just short of 1lb per week. Should be doable!!

Yay lost 2.5lb this week, a total loss of 15.5lb in 8/9 weeks :)
Now to lose 2 more stone, hoping to do this within the next 4-5 months, so I can finally go dress shopping!!

Weighed in last night using the gym scales (where you pay); not going by weight loss anymore but have lost 9% body fat and 7% body fat mass since Feb!! Yay!!! Its going in the right direction! xx

Thank you :) xx

Wooo feeling great - not been able to get to the gym this week but I have just tried on my practice dress (the one I got as motivation for the real dress as its down a size from where I am now) and for the first time I was able to do the zip up all the way! The dress is currently to tight for me to consider wearing it out in public just yet but my body is definitely shrinking... at this rate I may even be comfortably in a size 6 by the wedding which would be amazing as that was the size I was when I first started seeing my OH. Goal was always a size 8 so I'm not putting any pressure on myself to go beyond that - if I keep up the momentum and it happens then great but its not the end of the world.

Well done ladies!

Welcome LK!

I use MFP, I love it! Such a great app to have.
You and your Hubby have made a great start!

Im so down , I have 2 and 1/2 3 months till my dress gets here and I swear everyone is losing weight apart from me. My mum, loads of my friends are reguarly posting lost another 2 lbs this week etc. I swear I've gained weight but scared to look. I've been comfort eater and so stressed lately, aswell as bored. I been trying to be good but I just cannot get my head into the right mindset. ><

Any advice on the best way to lose as much weight as possible in 2 months?? Im getting married the end of June 2014. All comments will be much appreciated :)

Have just re-measured myself and my latest lot of measurements are;

Bust - 38inches (no change since last time)
Waist - 32.5inches (-0.5inches)
Hips - 39inches (-0.5inches)

Have lost anther inch and that takes my total to 10.5inches lost since January. Even managed to fit into a size 12 top earlier which I was mega chuffed about (especially with my boobs haha!) Never thought I would get back into a 12, was only a strappy top but still I was quite impressed.

Have my final dress fitting May 9th so I am now hoping to maintain what I am at now. My dress on my last fitting (last Weds) needs taking in so I hope I can stay as I am as I would hate it to need be taken back out lol!

Weighed myself after a month, and am down to 57.7 kilos, from 59.8. I would have been happy just to maintain, and was generally spending the weeks working hard to make up for weekends away when I didn't have control of my diet. I'm definitely looking more to just stay where I am now, and focussing on toning, although I will still watch what I eat and keep cycling to work. I'm starting to record measurements, and I cant' remember where I was last time, but I think my waist has gone down slightly. It's 78.5 cm. Upper arm (where I'm really keen to tone up) is 29.5 cm, hips 98.5 cm, thigh 48.5, and bust 92.5. I haven't got as far as converting them to inches yet, but I might do that at some point.

I lost 5 stone in 6months in 2013 doing slimming world, my fiance lost 4.5stone in 4months doing slimming world with me. Highly recommended!

I have lost another 2lbs so another 2 to go until I am happy and 5 until my main goal! Xxx

I've stayed the same this week which I'm actually quite pleased with, I've ate so much crap that I was expecting a gain :)
Damn you school holidays!! Lol
