Wedding Forum - Official Weight Loss Thread - hints and...

That's a great loss, i'm 4lbs down after 2 weeks got my third weigh in on Saturday - would love to get my half stone award before Christmas so hoping for a good loss this week x

i wish i could make the earlier ones so i could do the same ahahaha!

Unfortunately i'm working til 5:30 so i have to be good on my lunch break, depending how it goes I just may get a chinese takeout for my tea :')

Morning :) so my weigh in yesterday went so well and i am so pleased! 4 and a half pounds down from last week!! really couldn't have asked for more! I'm hoping for a three pound loss next week and get that half a stone by xmas x

thank you :) i'm so pleased. You really can't ask for any more than that can you. I'm expecting to not lose quite as much next week because that's just how it goes but fingers crossed I will get to that half a stone! Have you set your overall target Kathleen or have you done like an interim target? I wasn't sure what to do x

Kathleen, when I was at my smallest ever, I weighed just under 12stone, I am 5ft 7, I was wearing size 10/12 clothes, yet I fitted into the pre obese range on the bmi calculator. It's all a load of tosh.

she did the same to me, i've put myself down to get to 10 stone as apparently i should be 9.11 but i'm not too fussed over a couple of pound.

I don't really need to get that for the wedding at all but i hope I can be at 11 at least by the time the wedding rolls around next september x

Well done on a great loss!

Had a half pound gain on Thursday, was pretty expected as have had a bad week, including a takeaway as my car was in the garage for 4 days. Have also eaten a big chunk of cake sample today and synful supper today so want to be on it 100% from tomorrow onwards... but still have two more cake samples to try!

3lb away from next award and want it by Christmas :)

week 3 weigh in -3lbs and got my half stone award probably the best early Christmas present ever (even if I do have a couple more stone to go lol) took me 10 months to lose 9lbs on my own so to lose 7lbs in 3 weeks feel fantastic i'm going to be recommended SW to everyone!

3 lbs in 2 weeks is completely do-able if you stick to plan best of luck to you both on getting them awards.

There's another box of chocolates doing the round at work today. I've managed to stay clear so far with all my fruit to snack on but now I don't have anything else to distract me ha

It makes it all worthwhile with comments like that, looks like I will be buying a new wardrobe with my Christmas money as things are getting a little loose :)

I started SW a year and a half ago and have lost just under 2 1/2 stone. I joined before I got engaged.
I was measured for me dress at the beginning of September, and have put on and lost again 1/2 stone.
I'm almost at target, but just cant quite get there.
I think I may have done all I can now on the weight loss side by diet alone and think that the only way I will loose any more weigh will be by adding exercise ( I don't do any at all at the moment)
We are getting married next November and so I think I may join a gym some time in the new year.

I highly recommend SW. It works - as long as you stick to plan.

love all the achievment stories, seems SW works for alot of people :D

i brough a playsuit today for the first time, i can never wear them because i have a belly and they show it off, but ive almost lost 1st now and i still have a belly, but it looks much better. thats new years/xmas sorted!!! lol x

Hows everyone's Thursday weigh ins going? xx

half a pound is still great though especially this time of year! Well done!

My weigh in went well this week - 3 and a half pound down! So that's 8 pounds in 2 weeks and I got that half a stone loss before christmas with a week to spare so I'm super happy! xx

I have this really cute l1ndy b0p dress to wear xmas day and I'm certain it's going to feel much more comfortable now xx

well done Lesley! x

thank you :)

Kathleen how did you get on Saturday? x

Managed to lose 1lb last week, but have been so off the wagon this week.
I'm going to try to pull it back over the next 2 days - but I'm not holding out much hope. Especially as the chocolates were brought out at work today. Ooops

Wizbit - it happens at this time of year when we have commitments but I always find new sets of gym clothes can help you feel motivated

Maxine - that's fantastic! a loss is a loss

Kathleen - Bet you're so pleased! You wanted that half a stone by christmas and now you are past that and given yourself a head start!

So proud of you all to keep losing and staying on track at Christmas!

thank you x I know it's a cliche thing to say but I honestly wished I'd started earlier when I was struggling with losing a pound or two a fortnight because it really does work doesn't. When I was reading all the success stories I just thought it was too good to be true. Glad I had a look at this thread, I wouldn't have joined otherwise x

How are the Thursday weigh ins going? Last one before Christmas! x

i put on 2lbs over xmas, still cant stop eating lol :O

it's been christmas so don't let it get to you!

I've maintained for the last two weeks - i'm expecting it all to catch up with me this week :o

Hey lovelies.

I too stepped on the scales on Monday after a horrific binge month of December.. And it was baaaaad!!
But back on the healthy eating and rejoined the gym, did my first session last night 1hr 15mins and really enjoyed myself. just got to keep going, although I am dreading the pains tomorrow as I can feel them setting in today hahah!.

for me the issue is definitely food, its 80% diet and its one thing I struggle to keep a reign on. For out first week of Jan we are having a largely vegetarian meal plan, mainly just to get some healthy veggies back into our system and for a kickstart haah so far so good!

Hi Nicole,

I really don't mind veg meals at all but I think they have to be tasty and interesting not just salads etc. I live with a scaffolder and a bricklayer and both of them said they were stuffed at the end of dinner which was sweetcorn chowder, so I think as long as it tastes good and is satisfying its okay. But for them to accept no meat is a massive thing in our house hahaha

I bet you can do that! I am hoping to get back to the gym tomorrow but also a little worried I wont be able to walk by then from the pains

hah yeah definitely, I can feel a general ache today but I slept better then I have don't in months last night so its worth it just for that!
I cooked from the Leon book which I got for xmas as family knew I wanted to cut down on meat intake a little bit for health reasons,
Gym were very happy with my BP though which I am glad about

My first weigh in after Christmas is this Thursday, I am not looking forward to it. Still I think even if I lose half stone a month before June, that is 3 stone. That is the date I need to have my measurements to order my dress (bought it in September) then still have some wriggle room for alterations if I lose more :)
