    Ok, apparently my dress should arrive in a few weeks and then I'll have my first fitting. To say I'm stressing about it is a huge understatement.

    My problem is this - I just can't figure out when I have time to do any exercise!

    Dieting doesn't work for me, never has. The only way I can lose weight is through exercise but I just don't have time during the week. I work full time and have a 2 year old toddler. By the time I've picked my toddler up from nursery, sorted dinner, got toddler to bed and cleaned up its usually gone 9pm and I still have to try and do some wedding planning before falling into bed around 10ish (I get up at 6ish and my toddler rarely sleeps through the night).

    So, the only time I've got for exercise is at weekends. Is it possible to lose weight just by doing exercise at weekends?

    I would suggest your are good with food during the week so no snacks, crisps, chocolate etc so your not putting on excess weight and they work hard at the weekends so weight slowly comes off but will be tough as your lose weight by regular excercising.

    How much weight do you need off to get in your dress? xxx

    I don't know :-( I got the dress back in January and all I remember is that I was between two sizes so they opted for the smaller size. The good news is that I haven't put weight on since then but I also haven't lost anything really either.

    I do tend to eat healthily most of the time - all the dinners are home cooked from scratch etc but I do love chocolate :-( I'm trying to reduce the chocolate intake but I am realistic enough to know that I can't cut it out completely. Sometimes a bit of chocolate gets me through my work day!

    A quick look at the google-machine gave these results:

    Edited out links

    They mainly focus on involving the children (which can only be a good thing, because growing up active means it will be easier to stay that way)

    I hope they help.

    Obsidian_Winter you can't put links on your posts i would put them on your wall as the mods will delete them.

    Also slimming world worked wonders for me and i haven't been excercising as i have had an operation on my side so i can't stretch or strain but i've lost 8lbs in just 3 weeks and you only have to go once a week and its really simple to follow.

    I have been doing weight watchers. When i stick to it its great and i have lost 6lbs in a week before but i have trouble sticking to it lol. I have only lost just over a stone in a year. Better than putting on a stone tho. Kastobe i just has a sneaky look at your album. I LOVE your cake. Do you mine me asking where its from pls? x

    Thank you for the links :-) I've had a good read and will try some of the ideas, last weekend we all went out to a park, the toddler on her scooter and me on my inline skates, I just hope that the weather holds and I can do more skating :-)

    Jillian Michaels does a DVD called the 30 day shred, and it's fab. The workout is for around 20 minutes and you do it daily and supposed to drop a dress size I think. Maybe get that and do it when dinner is cooking???
