Hi I have lost 9lbs in the last 7 weeks, I have been replacing some meals with either fruit or vegetable smoothies. Don't buy wheat and gluten free foods because they have extra fat and sugar in them I put on 3 stone because of these foods:)

I have lost 3st3oz since Christmas. I have the motivation of wedding dress shopping. I wasn't happy with how I looked so I went to the gym 5 or 6 times a week and reduced how much sugar I ate and how much fatty food and lost all the weight I wanted and then some. I found this worked better as I've also been toning my arms and tum so makes me happier to look in the mirror. 11 months til our wedding and I'm going dress shopping at last

I lost 4st 8lbs on slimming world within 12 months. By far one of the easiest 'diets' I've ever done, and still keeping the weight off nearly 3 years later! Good luck

The Body Coach is amazing and you can lose so much in only 90 days! It's more of a lifestyle change than a simple diet.. My best friend followed the plan and her results were incredible!

A lot of my friends swear by juice plus, obviously when used with regular exercise. It's not a diet, it's more of a booster to aid in weightloss. Personally i like the old fashioned way, just regular exercise, cut down on sugar and processed foods and drink mass amounts of water. The most important thing is to not put too much pressure on yourself, you know how they say a watched pot never boils? Same with weight loss, the more you focus on it, the less you'll notice it.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 26 Jul 2017

Don't do any crazy plans because as soon as you come off them you will put the weight back on. I speak from experience. I have tried every diet under the sun and can honestly say Slimming world is the only one that truly works. The last thing you need to do is be living of shakes and soups when you are planning a wedding. You need to keep your energy up!! This is my before and after photo 3 stone gone between September and May xxx

This is my other half. He lost this weight and found a passion for it so is now a fully qualified PT. He does exercise programmes for £35 (recommended to be updated every 4 - 8 weeks so you don't plateau) and is currently running a competition on his FB page to win one... Search Woodman's Fitness or go to www.woodmansfitness.co.uk

We get married 5 weeks today!! You can easily achieve your goal. Good luck xx

Slimming World is the best way, eating everyday foods

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 26 Jul 2017

Using the Lean In 15 books has really helped us to make a lifestyle change rather than embarking on another fad diet like we had previously tried! Regular exercise and lots of fun gym classes have been key! Good luck xx

I don't do slimming world or groups. I have gone from a dress 22-12 in a year exercise and diet. Eat right healthy foods then you don't need to count calories. Cook from scratch ready meals have no goodness lots of water herbal teas cardio weights you will do it in no time plus I lose 8ibs a week on the t25 workout and Jillian Michel's and a strict healthy eating plan!

Try slimming world. I lost my first stone on that within a few months but then gave it up due to the costs of the wedding and felt like I knew what to do after the first few months. I may have had a bit of a blip in the middle but I've since lost a further stone through using the tips I learnt through slimming world and doing lots of exercise and I feel a lot better now that I'm doing the exercise as well. I'm hoping to lose another stone and 1/2 before my wedding and will hopefully keep it off after due to the way I'm doing it. I've already gone down a dress size so I'm hoping for one more before the wedding. I have already bought my dress so I've been advised not to lose more than 2 stone now as it could be problematic with alterations. I have to agree with everyone else though. Avoid shakes and fads as you'll put it all back on again as soon as you start eating normally again.

Wear a fitbit 24/7. Work our your average daily calorie burn. Take 850 off that figure. Eat the difference in calories. So say calorie burn averages about 2300, eat 1450 cals a day. I put my house on it that you will lose weight.

I did Cambridge weight plan (shakes and meals) before my wedding and while I did lose lots of weight, it was very expensive and I was always very hungry at the end of the day. After the wedding I stopped and gained all the weight bk plus more. Now 2yrs later and after having a baby I joined slimming world and it's been the best decision of my life. Not a diet but a proper lifestyle change. I have more energy and feel better about myself. Join slimming world.

1 stone in 8 weeks, but I've been brutal and it hasn't been easy.
I'm walking instead of using the car when it's doable.
Using fry-light instead of bottles of oil, and boiling/steaming food instead of frying when possible. Cutting out bread. Eating low sugar cereals for breakfast. I'm replacing treats and snacks with coffee and tea (but I allow myself some cheat days so it isn't too hard). Bought an exercise bike and use it when watching TV. Give yourself small achievable goals, and then reward yourself once you hit them (e.g. Every half stone you can buy yourself something new).

Slimming world...
I've lost nearly 4 stone and gone from size 18-20 to a 14 since January.
I haven't exactly stuck to it 100% so I probably would have lost more but I'd recommend slimming world to anyone.

Sign up to do an event such as a 1/2 marathon or 10k, I lost 7lb by being healthier and eating less junk in 3 months and lost another 7lb in 4 weeks by running and training for a half marathon. I went from having to run/ walk a mile to running 13 miles in 7 weeks.

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 26 Jul 2017

I used the NHS weight loss plan in the run up to my wedding. 1400 calories a day, half an hour aerobic exercise a day (could just be a walk), strength exercise three times a week. Recently I had a lot of baby weight to lose, in a year I've lost 20 kilos just by calorie counting and exercising. You can still have all your favourite foods, just in moderation. Keeping a food diary is helpful to keep track of your calories, there are lots of apps for smart phones now.

I lost a total of nearly 5 stone with slimming world. 4 stone of it was in a little over a year so id recommend it 100%!! Its super easy and ot really is a case of the more you eat the more you lose, just needs to be the right things (a group leader explains everything and the support is incredible). Good luck with your journey! Xx

I use the app my fitness pal. Ive lost 10lb in 3 week and never feel hungry. Add your weight/height/activity level and a goal you want to loose each week and it tells you what calories you should be eating per day. I still enjoy the things i like but in moderation.
