well done girls :) x

I've just joined ukbride a couple of days ago and is good to see that everyone is very much in the same mindset as me! I've just booked my appointments to find my dress in May and am now tring to lose at least a stone before then. Don't think it will be easy at all but everytime I want crisps (my BIG downfall!) I just have to remember wedding dress. Wish me luck x

I've not posted for a while so i thought i'd update my progress! I've got another weigh in this evening but so far my stats are:

SW 16st 8lb
week 1 16st 4.5lb (3.5 loss)
week 2 16st 0.5lb (4 loss)
week 3 15st 10lb (4.5 loss)
week 4 15st 9.5lb (0.5 loss alcohol & diets really dont mix well)
week 5 ....... we'll find out tonight.

I'm dead please with my progress but my tracking is slipping now.....i think the novelty has worn off a little, an m&m here and there, a leftover potato after tea etc... i'm sure i'll get my act together again once the weight stops coming and i need to be more disciplined.

Good luck everybody!

Ive lost 2lbs!!!!!!!! So thats me back down to 13 stone 6lbs

Dress alteration woman has told me not to lose any more weight so have had to stop for now, may try to lose another half stone as dont think that will make much difference to be honest. So just over 4 stone lost and gone from a size 18-22 down to a size 12 - went shopping today and spent £100 on new clothes in size 12 - felt wonderful! Got 3 pairs of cropped trousers and 2 shirts and a pair of shoes (feet have shrunk a size too!) And got 3 new tops and pair of trousers coming off ebay! Whole new wardrobe, wonderful!

Woohoo Jane, well done on your weight loss that's fantastic! I lost 3 1/2 stone last year and have loved going out to buy new clothes lol. It's also fantastic having the confidence to wear what I like and for the 1st time in years I can wear short skirts ;-)

Lost 5lb this week.....

I started losing last year too Jane. I had a break at xmas and then the first week of Feb, as I had my operation. I tarted off at 14st 1 and I am now 11st 9.

well done everyone, i lost another 1lb this week so only 8 more to go :) x

Well done to all of you who have lost weight i start back at WW tonight

Oh can i join, bit late i know but have had lots of stuff going on and only just found this :D
I am not too worried about weight as such, i dont weight myself. I am more interested in dropping inches as muscle is heavier than fat and your body stores water etc as well so weight can be unreliable in my opinion.

I have had my measurements taken (needed to for dress purposes) will have to keep track and monitor.
I am not dieting, but i am being more concious of what i eat and also what i drink, trying to curb hunger pangs with a drink of water first etc...
I have joined a gym, so am aiming to do 30 minutes of cardio at least 3 times a week + swimming, light weights etc amongst that.

Hellooo ladies. I'm not really dieting, Just gonna do a crazy amount of exercise cos I know my weight gain is mainly due to inactivity! Joined the gym a couple of weeks ago, but only been 3 times due to being ill. Now I'm better though, so the fun can really start...

Will be a bums, legs and tums tomorrow lunch time though (least I should be.... so, if you see me on here between 1 and 2 - give me a good telling off!

Did I tell you my mum's a fitness instructor and is leading the warm up for race for life the morning of my wedding?

I will! I've said no too cos she's supposed to be getting me ready in the morning rather than my bridesmaids, as I trust her more! Her response was, I got someone to cover the afternoon 1 so I can be at the wedding. Yeh - thanks mum!
She's also doing 1 early the next morning as well!

I tried kettlebells on Monday night and am more pain today from it than I was yesterday but I guess that's a good sign. Hope it disappears before boxercise tomorrow night ready for me to hurt again by Friday. Must keep thinking of losing the extra inches that I am carrying!
Well done everyone for your weight loss. My first weigh in is Friday so fingers cossed I have lost some weight this week x

well done mrsstone2b, thats a good loss, keep it going :) x

Hi ladies,
Wow, you're all doing fabulous!!! I'm new here, i just wanted to say well done to everyone. I started losing weight in January 2010, i was 17 stone back then, to date i've lost 6st 10lb and am still aiming to lose another stone. I'm studying Nutrition and average around 10 hours a week in the gym. I'm hoping i can keep it off until after my wedding at least. :-) x

Hi diamondgal

That is one hell of a loss!! a massive well done to you that is amazing and even more amazing is that you are doing 10hrs in the gym a week lol

well done leafy, you will get there and feel amazing on the day :) x

I think now my son will be at nursery 3hrs a day I will use this time to have a swim....

well done x:)

Not doing very well trying to lose my final 7 lbs, but seem to have been stuck at my current weight since about September 2010
:-( I go down a few lbs and then put them on again the following week. Spoke to my ww guide on Wednesday and she said maybe my goal weight is unrealistic as I have already lost over 3 stone and I look amazing (her words lol). I am currently 9 stone 7 lbs but would like to go down to 9 stone. I am really good with my diet but the weight just isn't shifting. I know I don't look overweight but I have the figure of 9 stone in my head and I really want to reach it. She asked me why it was so important to be that weight and I couldn't say, I just do lol. I used to be 8 stone for years when I was younger but went up to nearly 13 stone in recent years. I am terrified I will put all the weight back on again. Not sure what to do - feel very unmotivated and fed up :-(

Thanks mrsbarkertobe, I'd heard it's difficult to lose those final few lbs. I'm looking into joining the local gym to shift a few of the stubborn lbs. I feel the same as you, I want to lose more than perhaps I need to so it doesnt matter if I put some on again :-) It really doesn't help though when I constantly crave carbs - mmmm, could just eat a big slice of White farmhouse bread, toasted with real butter and marmite. Guess I'll stick with my fresh fruit salad lol ;-)

thanks.

my dress is slightly to big now but it should be fine by the time the day is here. i cut out alcohol which helps you lsoe weight so with my hen weekend i am sure to put on some weight!

katkin-if you join the gym muscle weighs more than fat so you may put weight on in the begining! i have joined a gym twice and didnt lose anything-you have to be really discplined to go! xx

well done shellay on your weight loss! great that your dress fits!
