ive got 4 weeks and 1 day until i have to order my dress and from the last time that i tried my dress on im 11lbs HEAVIER!!!!!!! i just duno how it happened really :(
i seem to be really really good up until wed/thurs then i just loose the motivation!
doesnt help that me and my h2b have no money atm so we're eating whatever we've got in, and its not exactly healthy!
i have started zumba classes on a tues and im tryin to get there on a thurs as well but we've started up a 2nd business and we have to keep going out on appointments which always seem to be on a thurs!
i guess it doesnt help that for the past 2 weekends ive been at weddings (have the 3rd this weekend) so as soon as i get drunk i want to eat then the next day hangover makes me eat like a pig too!!! :(
i guess im just gettin myself all down today cos ive got a funeral to go too and my black pants dont fit me and im just so disapointed in myself for not loosing the weight that i promised i would!
going to cuba in 9 weeks as well and im going to look like a beached whale!!!! :(
guess i just wanted to read a bit of motivational words from u lovely girls :)

Happily Married! :) xxx

I know how you feel. but you have to keep at it. you can do it you really can.
have you found anything in particalar sets you off at eating rubbish.
with the eating what you have in when you go shopping it is actally cheaper to buy healthy stuff in particually if you plan your meals. frozen veg is just as good often as fresh

CommentAuthorlittlemisssunshine
well im a crisp alcoholic lol and instead of those i have snack a jacks also those slimming world bars are very nice xxxxxx
its hard hunnie and i feel your pain too at the moment i am doing really well but i have these spurts when i lose all motivation no matter what i tell my self, but then some how i just click and realise im doing it for me not just this wedding because H2b asked me to marry him just the way i am, try putting a picture of a wedding dress on your fridge or where u keep your goodies, obviously not a pic of your dress just any dress, but im sure you will pick yourself up again stay strong and remember your H2b loves you for you ;-)

CommentAuthorspooney24
What about putting a £1 in a jar for every pound you loose and when you have lost quite a bit you can use the money to treat yourself. Another is to put chocolate treats into the freezer and then only take one piece of a chocolate bar out, its takes longer to eat as its so hard but means you get a chocolate treat without eating the whole bar and less calories consumed too. Another thing I used instead of chocolate when I used to diet was home made ice lollies, I would have one whenever I got a sweet craving. Also putting a before pic of you up on you fridge door helps too. It may also help if you had a dieting buddy to work with even if its online, as there are a few girls on here that are trying to lose weight and if you linked up with one of them for support that would help also. Good luck xx

Try Paul McKenna's 4 Golden Rules. they are on my wall. I have used them to shift the weight I gained, and so I could keep it up. It does work wonders as it helped me lose a lot of weight that i gained last year. And I have kept it all off! Even tho I have limited mobility. Hope you shift the weight u need before your wedding x x x
CommentAuthorsarahwasabride
its so hard to lose weight espcially this time of year when u just want to eat hearty meals. the only thing i can really suggest is to drink a glass of water before ur meal that way u will feel full. ive been losing weight but lately its been slowing down so have started zumba, you can do it xxx
CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
I'm the same so can understand your frustration. I was doing really well and lost just over a stone then it started creeping on again when I had my period. I'm doing alright again but come next month I will undo all of my hard work over the next month. I really need to become disciplined when the time of the month is here but I just have something inside me that over rides all common sense.
CommentAuthorMrsPrestleton2be
stick a pic of a wedding dress (not urs) up on the cupboard where u keep ur food! that way everytime u reach for a biscuit or summat u will see it and it will remind u of what ur trying to achieve! fingers crossed for u hun x

CommentAuthorPrincessClaire*
I know how u feel, the stone I'd lost in the summer is back and with five months to go I shouldn't worry too much but xmas is looming which makes eating good even harder! Didn't think I'd have a problem as your wedding should be the bogglers motivational tool ever but it's still not working!!!:(
CommentAuthorpennieb-MrsRiley
I know how you feel, I've been doing slimming world and was gutted a couple of weeks ago to learn that I'd put on 1 1/2lbs, but it has motivated me now to get completely back on track - the online member area has a personalised progress chart that had me hitting my target weight in February and that weight gain has put me back to May, which is no good considering I need to be ordering my dress in February! Luckily I have turned it around, and the group are great motivators :)
Now, finally, Mrs Riley
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world
I have the greatest husband!
CommentAuthorSoon2beMrsHall
Do what i am doing get a picture of your wedding dress and put it somewhere where you will see it every day and some where were your h2b wont look ie. handbag or purse. Everytime you get money out or buy something you know you shouldnt you will see the dress and put it back.
Cant wait to to marry Martyn
Wishes the wedding would come faster
XxX
CommentAuthorDellie
I have ordered my dress in a size smaller argh !!!!!! I have 5 months to drop a stone and i'm finding it really difficult, I am doing the old weight watchers diet to a fashion x
CommentAuthorJane
Im afraid I'm very hard on myself and use emotional blackmail on myself whenever I feel myself slipping..... for example 'What do you want more? That bit of cheese or to look good in your wedding dress?' 'Cake or fat bride... your choice' 'If you eat that bit of extra pasta you will regret it later' 'More dinner = pudgy bride = not so happy groom' 'Pudding = fatty bits poking out of dress walking down the aisle' 'Is that bit of chocolate really worth the guilt afterwards - and the lardy bits it'll add to your bum?'
Seems to work for me. Lost 54lbs since March.
CommentAuthorb2bnicola
Well id put weight on and i got weighed today and ive lost 2lbs Im away to cuba on sunday for 2 weeks so no doubt more weight will be put on there but honestly after new year hits im dieting and exercising like MAD for 8 months!

Happily Married! :) xxx
CommentAuthorGregorysGirl
Well done on your 2lb loss, it is a great incentive to keep going! I was struggling to lose weight and have been tbh for the past few years, could never get under 13 and half stone, but my mate lent me her Wii fit a few weeks ago and I have lost 6lbs so far, which i am really chuffed with considering I have a cold from hell at the minute and we are skint as hell and living off what is in the cupboard too, lol. Small but regular meals and no snacks is working for me, but I allow myself a bottle of wine every weekend which I savour no end, lol. Keep going, I know it is hard but keep picturing yourself in your dress and it will keep you strong! :) xx
Finally reunited with the love of my life
Never to part again

I need to drop a dress size as i ordered my dress in a smaller size argh so i think i need to lose a stone in 5 months and i am finding it quite difficult tbh x
CommentAuthorsbride
Im the opposite. My dress is miles to big for me now coz I have dropped nealy 2 dress sizes! Dont know how though coz I have really been slacking with the gym. I do eat healthy though and do alot of running about at work (I work on a maternity unit)
I am now Mrs Stacey Stiles and loving it!

CommentAuthorXLittleMissMe!X
I've just been told that lack of water can stop you from losing weight so make sure you drink at least 8 glasses of water a day! I've made myself a chart to keep track of how much I drink because I'm really bad and not having anything.
CommentAuthorMrsEverton2b
Have you tried the paul mckenna diet? i tried that and lost over a stone, then got pregnant in Jan, and lost the baby in feb, and lost interest in losing weight. it does work if you listen to the cd and do the techniques everyday it does work.
plus the bonus is eat what you want! it did work for me, i just lost interest after what happed! but i do agree with XjoX, drinking 8 glasses can help, sometimes your not hungry you are really thirsty!
CommentAuthormini me
wow i feel really orgnised my dress is ordered and paid for. What is concering me is that the shop that you have got your dresses from have let you order a size smaller, Thats a huge shock as 3-4 shops that i went to before i brought mine said that they would never let a bride do that as you are putting too much pressure on yourself its easier to take a dress in if its too big than to make it bigger
CommentAuthorMrs Brakes
Reduce your portion sizes, use a side plate instead of a big plate. Remember whenever you eat any meal that your stomach is the same size as your fist. You can always eat more food if still hungry but you can't uneat if you've eaten too much. Drink 1 pint of water 15 minutes before eating your meal and eat slowly, putting your cutlery or food down between mouthfuls. Stop eating when you are full. Do some exercise, walking is very good for burning fat.
