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

well done Lesley that's great!

Stacey don't let it get to you, just get back on track that's what i'm trying to do as I am losing motivation as well.

I didn't get to go to weigh in last night as I had an appointment with the church so hopefully i will have lost 1 pound by next week and i can get my award x

I just comfort eat all the time. So bad. I'm so gonna be the fat chunky bridesmaid

You are not going to be the fat chunky bridesmaid InDeamland! When are you a bridesmaid and how much do you want to lose?

Nicole, you will do it this week I am sure :)

Claire, I was just speaking to my laser hair removal lady about that and she used to work in a salon that did it, people would pay crazy money and she thinks that what actually looses the weight is that you are on a strict diet for 8 weeks, 30 mins exercise every day and then after the 40 minute laser you go on the power plate. She said the power plate is amazing. There isn't any research to state it actually works and it is nearly impossible to melt fat. Hope that helps?

I dont know what has happened to me, I have totally lost focus and heart on losing. I just got to get myself re motivated! I hope you lose this week Nicole, you have 1lb to your next target don't you?

Do you go to a group lesley? I lost motivation so i decided to start staying to group again and it's got my head back in it. Yes just 1 pound to my 2 stone loss (my goal is a 3 stone loss overall) and weigh in is at 7:30 so fingers crossed as i have been 100% on plan.

Hope it goes better than you expect Stacey! x

I am with you Stacey, I gained 1lb this week but it has kicked me into sorting myself out.

I go to WW Nicole and stay, I love my group it is so positive and I know without them I would have given up a long time ago. I am trying to stay low carb (which I haven't done for 2 weeks). Feel like that is my problem as I am noticing how rubbish I feel after eating certain carbs, although dr thinks wheat is fine for me I don't agree I know how I feel he doesn't. He did a blood test on me for allergies as I was really going through it a while back. I know I am highly allergic to almonds, if someone as much as has one in the office I can't breath. Test came back negative to that but positive to something I can eat with no issues. The dr argued with me that I was wrong and I was fine with almonds which I am shocked by, so basically what I am saying I don't think wheat agrees with me and I don't believe that blood test. The fact I feel so rubbish is making me refocus and fingers crossed for next week.

I am also #1 at self sabotage and even though I know I can do it I hold myself back. I have to be kinder to myself but I really struggle with that. My personal trainer is really trying to help me so at least I have someone (not on the forums I mean) on my side. As soon as I start doing well my OH buys me food - if I don't eat it he gets all stroppy with me. I have told him numerous times I don't want him to and he makes me feel bad but it makes no difference.

Wow this turned into way more than I wanted but glad to get it off my chest. :)

How did you get on last night Nicole?

Lesley for sure you know how you feel, if the wheat is making you feel off then do what you think is right! and Stacey you're right I always self sabotage but then I make up a story about how it couldn't be helped :'D

I managed to lose 1 pound this week, pretty disappointed as i was 100% on plan so i was expecting a bigger loss but on the other hand I got my 2 stone award! just 1 stone to go to target :) x

Thanks Stacey :) not staying to group is actually what was getting in my way so try staying and see if it helps.

I've just tallied up how long I have left til my dress fitting to see if i can get to target by then and i'm not thinking it's possible. it's 5 weeks with 14 pounds to go which is just under 3 pound a week so it's not very likely :(

yeh i think i will, planning on an sp week next week as i have a meal out this week so will be tricky to stick to and good idea with the fizzy pop , will give it my all for this final 5 week push!

thanks Lesley :)

i definitely need to up my water in take and cut down on my diet coke. It's just when i want something sweet diet coke is free on SW so it's an easy go to for a sweet fix.

Nicole, fill up your water bottle and add lemons, watermelons, cucumber etc if you're getting bored of water.

I still can't seem to shift any weight.

Is it acceptable for the bridesmaid to request that the bride pays for her liposuction so she's not the fat bridesmaid?

well done Stacey! Bet your pleased.

I've had a terrible week, need to get weighed tonight as wasn't able to make it to group last night. For some reason when i know i won't be going to group i take it as a free ticket to go completely off plan :')

so much for my last posts about doing whatever it takes for the final push :')

well done Lesley! that's great x

ooh good idea! defo worth going without for those 21 days and having a fantastic time in London x

-1.5lb that takes me back to 12st exactly just 2lb to go next week and I hit my one stone award I need to keep my focus this time and not lose it

Well done Stacey, fingers crossed you get that award soon

Hope you have a great hen party Nicole

I've been completely off plan since moving house and think I've put all the 12lbs I lost originally back on in wine but I have found a new class to join tomorrow. These double chins will reduce before the wedding!

thank you Stacey and Kathleen :) x

That is ok Claire :) Have you tried planks and side planks? They are pretty good at getting your core toned, might be worth looking at y0u tu83 for videos

Fingers crossed Stacey, I am the same as you :)

Maintained this week, bit annoyed but I haven't been perfect so I suppose its better than a gain.

stacey a maintain is definitely better than a gain well done!

Lesley, i put on half last weigh in and this week a have a feeling it might be another gain :s

aha nevermind it's easy to pull back when you get your head back in it x

i put on another half a pound :') but i've been off plan for about 3 weeks now so i'd say 1 pound in that time isn't bad! my mum has just joined up now so will be completely back on it along with her now.

which reminds me, she will absolutely never drink skimmed milk - does anybody know many mils of BOB milk you can have for hexA? TIA x

i got an email about the photoshoot today actually.

i would absolutely LOVE to do one but i'm not sure either i'm so torn so it will be interesting to see what others say.

i don't think they are tacky at all, i think they can be very beautiful.

yeh absolutely, i looked at a few sites just to compare and some are definitely better than other. the ones that do your hair and makeup and pamper you as well sound fab!
