After having my son nearly 3 years ago i was the heaviest i had ever been at 14 stone and a size 16-18, i tried a few diets and lost bits here are there but i never weighed myself as it didnt really bother me at the time, i was happy as could be with my new baby so didnt really care but then we got engaged and started planning the wedding and i thought to myself that i didnt want to be this size for my wedding, so new years day I weighed myself and i was 11 stone 11 lb i found out that my ideal weight for my age and height was 9 stone 9lb i laughed and thought yeah right, i aint been that since before i met h2b but ill have a go at it, so as of New years day i started my weight loss regime, i get married 3 week tomorrow and this morning i weighed myself and i could just cry.............wait for it......... 9 STONE 12 LB xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

CommentAuthorJakesmummy
thanks everyone, i have done it by using an app on my Iphone called myfitness pal, you put in you age, weight and height and it tells you your ideal weight, then it gives you how many calories you should eat each day to get to your goal ideal weight by a certain date. Mine was 1200 cals a day. Then you log what you eat everyday and it adds up what calories youve had so you can keep track, it also has a scanner on it so you can scan your foods to get it exact. You can also log your excercises, from walking, running to simply cleaning and it tells you how many calories youve burnt which gives you the option to eat those calories so you can eat more IF you wnat to BUT, those that know me know that I never excercise as i am far too lazy, all I do is walk everywhere as i can no longer have a driving lisence so thats the only excercise i do, and that ladies and gents is how i have done it. I havent lived off salad and i havent starved (ok so maybe for the first week but once i got used to the sudden drop in calories i was fine) and i still had a takeaway every fortnight as a treat, i hate chocolate anyway so never had a problem with that but i love crisps so if i wanted them i had them, i just counted them.
Thank you for all your lovely comments x
CommentAuthorNicsquared
Thats amazing - you should be sooo pleased with yourself I lost my wait with the same app, i find it so good as it makes you look at what you are eating and see exactly where your calories come from - I dont think I will make my ideal weight though

CommentAuthorNicsquared
I think my ideal weight is too low for me, people have been edging on saying I look too thin and I still have a stone to go to get to my ideal weight, my BMI is in the healthy range so I can settle with that. I'm happier with myself than I have ever been :)

Oh well if your happy hun the stay as you are, my ideal weight is 9st 9lb so stil have 3lb to go but my mum keeps saying dont lose anymore cos you'll look ill, but i dont think i do, i'm gonna lose that last 3 before the wedding, ive still got my baby puch though, nothing is shifting that lol, although a few years ago h2b said if i got to my ideal weight and i still had it then i could have a tummy tuck...hmmm i wonder if he can still remember saying that lol x
CommentAuthorsuzky123
if you are in healthy bmi stay there. I can do to 7 11 with mine but I never ever will because I already look a bit gaunt. Dont always take the lowest BMI as a goal as it depends on your overall shape. If you are happy, stay where you are and you will look better for it.

How do you work out your BMI and how do you know what it should be? x
CommentAuthorpanther_87k
is this just for the iphone? can you get the same thing elsewhere for pc or something? OH is dieting atm but think he'd be happy to have that little bit more help
CommentAuthorNicsquared
I'm not going for the lowest - the ideal body weight, which is normally about 22 - i'm just around 24 at the mo, but i used to be 33 :s
BMI doesnt take into account muscle and i do think i prob have more muscle than average as I exercise loads. I'm fitting into size 10-12's and thats good enough for me

Have just jumped on the bandwagon and downloaded it - do I write on what I eat every day?
CommentAuthorJakesmummy
yay!!! yeah, you fill in your breakkie, lunch and dinner and any snacks and then at the end of each day when youve logged everything you click "complete this entry" and it will tell you if every day where like that day you would weigh such and such so it gives you an idea of how much you would lose if you ate like you did on that particular day..if that makes sense xx
