CommentAuthorSophieS9864
A lot of this sounds so familiar. Luckily I don't have too much weight left to lose anymore, for me it is mostly about toning now. One thing I would say to everyone is to pay less attention to the scales and more attention to how you are feeling and looking. Don't weigh yourself too often, as it is natural for your weight to fluctuate and you will weigh more or less depending on the time of day/month/water retention/time since you've last eaten etc. You'll only be discouraged if you weigh yourself after being healthy for a week and find you have gained a little, even though it is most likely not fat. Also remember that muscle weighs more than fat, so you might have actually put on muscle and made a step towards your goal, just the scale doesn't reflect it. Don't be discouraged!! I am sure all of us will look stunning on our big day, no matter what the scale says!
Day 2 of the DVD done.... I'm shattered. Shower and bed now!!

Welcome Lyndsey. My go to when I get my sweet cravings are sugar free jelly and 90% chocolate.
I got a 4 pack of frozen veg that you put in the microwave. Just put in the microwave for 2 mins and then its ready to eat. Each pack counts as 2 of your 5 a day too!!

Future MIL commented that she thought I'd lost weight since I last them in January. Have been really restrictive with my food and just doing the shred. I did buy a book called The W3dding Dr355 D1et which supposedly claims you can shed stones before the wedding. It's quite limiting as restricts you to 800 cals for the first few weeks. It was emailed to me - if anybody wants a look, let me know and I'll forward it to you :-)

I bought that too Lindsey.... On offer at £9.99 but I'm not sure I could survive on that diet! I'm at my goal weight and so just need to tone up which I seem to be doing.

I've just looked on the calendar and have 8 weeks to get to the weight I want to be.
Need to go to the post office so I'll walk there with LO later. Sil and I are going to the gym tomorrow and Thursday morning and I'm going to cut my portion sizes down. After seeing pictures of our night out sat it's made me more determined to do it. I look dreadful

Don't know what's going on. I've been really good food wise this week but I've put weight on! I am due this week so maybe that has something to do with it, but it is really disappointing.

I know what you mean Katie. I've never had trouble losing weight before when I've stuck to a plan, but I just can't seem to stick to plan, its like I have no motivation :(
On the other hand got out to the gym tonight so that's a bonus. :)

I need to stay the same for 2 months now! I was hoping to have lost more weight, but I need to realise how well I have done to lose the weight I have... I think the same as you Lindsey, I wasn't meant to be skinny! I love my curves and wouldn't want to lose them, but sometimes I do feel really down about how I look. My dress however does fit perfectly.. if I lost any more weight, I would need alterations and the design of the dress would make that really tricky. My dress gives me a flattering silhouette and I feel a lot skinnier than I am when I am wearing it!

Thanks Lindsey and Emm! I'm still going to continue being healthy as I want to feel good about myself too, and look after my hair/skin etc, but I've been hovering around the same weight for months now so I doubt I will lose anything I shouldn't.

Your dress really flatters you're curves Flossie. Perfect dress for your shape X
I feel skinnier in my dress as it sucks my waist in lol. Sil said when I tried it on last that I look really skinny in it. I just want to lose a stone and tone up and hopefully I'll feel good about myself by then. I think we all want to be stixk thin but our bodies aren't built like that x

Afternoon everyone. Ive just joined here today and come across this post. We aren't getting married until 2018 but I have a fair bit of weight to lose as I'm at my heaviest and I'm not happy. My problem is I cant seem to stick to anything. I don't know what else there is to do. Any advice is greatly appreciated xx

I showed OH the pic of you in your dress Flossie and he said you are a real woman. He doesn't like skinny girls. He said you looked lovely.
Weigh in day tomorrow. Did 2 hours in the gym this morning. Really starting to enjoy the gym again but can only go on a Monday morning as got SW on Tuesdays and work the rest of the week. There is no way I'll go on a weekend! lol

Hey everyone thought id pop my head in. Ive recently lost 1 stone on SW. Ive been on and off for weeks and have stayed the same luckily. So back on it full time to loose another 1.5-2 stone. Hopefully this thread will keep me on track with all the motivation! Xx
CommentAuthorLauraH813
Hey everyone. I started Slimming World last week. I have chosen my dress and have an appt to order it in 10 weeks time so I want to loose as much as possible before then. I have also joined a weekly boot camp, 45 mins of high intensity work out, which despite only being on my 3rd week has already made a hell of a difference to my figure. I reckon even if I don't lose the pounds I want on SW then I will atleast lose the inches and I'll happily settle for that. If there's a boot camp near you then I recommend joining ;)

Another 2lb off today so that's 4.5lb in 2 weeks. I was also slimmer of the week at SW :) I want to lose another 5lb before the wedding. As long I keep doing what I'm doing then I should be able to get there.
