I'm trying to lose weight, but not for the wedding - for me!!

Im with kaya, Im trying to loose weight for myself not for the wedding. Actually its not even trying to lose weight, just not put any more on. I have been recommended to keep a healthy lifestyle diet and exercise due to PCO, possibly PCOS (under investigation) plus i look at pictures of myself and can see how much weight i have put on in recent years and i dont like it, i want to get back down, not as small as i was as i looked unhealthy but just to a nice weight where i feel comfortable in my bikini.... ideally magically by 2 weeks time when i go to malta lol.

I've got pcos and that's kinda why for me as well blondmumma!!

Oddly, I've got PCOS too. I'm terrified that it will mean that I can't have kids.

Me too special :-(

Me to, I have 2 children but me and h2b have planned another, and i am terrified that it wont happen. H2b keeps trying to reassure me saying it'll be fun trying (lol), which is nice of him, but it is something that does play on my mind quite often. Though Drs have reassured me that whilst it may take a little longer than some, theres no reason why it would never happen. They have put me on the pill already saying it should hopefully kickstart some sort of cycle. It has done already, not regular or monthly, but theres something every 2 months or so which is good (before the pill i went 7 months with nothing!)....

My mum and CBM are desperately trying to lose weight, but that's their thing.

HeatherG - The depressing thing is that the bride starving herself before the wedding has been going on for at least 150 years. Apparently around the 1860s the aim was to get married with a waist measurement smaller than your age in years. At least it's not too difficult these days with getting married later!

I've gained loadsa since I've been engaged.... :-( Booooo

I'm not trying to lose any weight ... if I do my dress won't fit anymore and I'd have to have it taken in.

im not!!! *nibbles on her nd rivita buscuit of the week* lol

just kidding im not i bought my dress to fit me not the other way round!! x x good luck to any1 that is tho n fair play 2 ya u have more willpower than me! x

Ohhh I had better make that post or risk highjacking this one!

I'm being really good although I substituted Ryvitas for luxury chocolates... :D

Lol, I'd be out of luck...... I'm 23 and my waist was 31.5 before I started dieting!! It's now 29, but my target is 28!

My natural waist isn't less than my age, but my corsetted waist is and that's what they counted, so I'm laughing. :D

I am me, I am thin, if I loose weight I look ill. I have no worries and sadly for most, the only kind of diet I can ever manage to stick to is the see food diet (sorry dad joke). I am not worried if I offend anyone, I am thin, it is in my genes to be thin, I have hollow ankles and a fast metabolism, I also work very hard in a physically and mentally demanding job so I don't exercise either.

Chocolate biscuit anyone??? (packet for me)

Last year I was 107 pounds!! which was skinny! And did not look nice - But I was losing weight because me and H2B were buying our 1st house and the stress was unbelievable.
Since then though I have gained 11 pounds and have my boobs back! so Im happy now!! hehe!

I have no intentions of loosing weight for the wedding! My H2B likes me as I am so other than that I don't care! People who want to say something can just Shut it and if they don't like me for who I am then they shouldn't have come

and to add H2B said that I wasnt allowed to lose weight again because he wants me to walk down the aisle with a bum and boobs!!

passes the biscuits, but only if you dunk em into a full fat mocha, mmmmyummmy. Finished mine and onto the cake :)

I used to weigh 6st 10 and could for the life of me get above that. I'm 5ft 1 but still looked awful (I didn't think it was that bad at the time, but I can't even look at pics of myself back then). I had a crazy quick metabolism and was always on the go as I did a performing arts course, so very active (oh and 3 jobs too)! Then I got glandular fever in my 1st yr at uni and on went the weight. My metabolism has slowed down (sometimes I wonder if it's stopped completely!) but I generally eat what I want but try to cycle as much as I can to keep it at bay. I'm quite lucky and I've stayed the same shape/size for the past couple of years or so.

I'm seeing a personal trainer atm :-) half way through a 6 week/12 session block x

My H2B fancies me a lot lot lot more when I have boobs, and when I lost weight I was suprised to find how Unsexy I felt and how my H2B still loved me but no longer gave me that look - but rather begged me to gain weight again!

Then when I did gain weight 'that' look came back!! :)

And he often tells me 'dont lose your boobs again!'

I know it sounds silly for him to say that - but I know what he means and it makes me feel good.
And I feel way way way sexier now than when I was 107lbs.

i am 8st 5.5 but have been trying to lose weight to get into my dress and it is actually a bit big now!

i was 7 half stone for a long time but think it was too think. i want to get to 8.2 after the wedding but not sure if that is going to happen. i have been dieting for 3 months now and was 9 stone when i started!

If any cow juice accidently slips into my mouth my eczema on my hands and wrists flare up, h2b gets mad at me for scratching in my sleep and then I have to spend all day saying ow ow ow ow ow as I try to wash my hands or use hand gel! (I wash my hands more than someone with CDO (I dont like the letters being out of order))

I'm like you special sundae without corset my waist is just more than my age but with corset is younger :)
