    Ash, just a q for you.... isnt it better to do toning exercises aswell as calorie controlled to tone up as you are quite tiny arent you.
    Prob one leg weighs what you weigh, lol!
    Gemma have you been using my fitness pal? I've been using it to control calories and each time you do exercise that gives you more calories to eat.
    I've been on a 1000 calorie a day diet, taking normal water tablets, zumba 2/3 times a week, depends what plans I have and in the last week I have lost 8lbs. I have also made myself home made soup, from sratch and only contains natural sugars and no fat, so calorie was can eat shed loads of the stuff. I've made mine very spict and its luch, infact tucking into a bowl right now.
    I was told that certain vegetables are sometimes best to be avoided as contains too much candida.
    Zumba on Wii date has ben brought forward thank god, was 25th March, arrgghhhh
    Tesco online so far is the cheapest. £22.70, Amazon £24.99. I cant wait...
    Not the same atmosphere as party night but atleast I can do it before work and feel energised for the rest of the day.

    yes its much better to do weight bearing exercises as theres' no such thing as tone, when people say tone what they are referring to is dropping body fat. if you do a diet or exercise without the other in place you can drop weight but will most likely a mix of muscle and fat. hence your body fat percentage stays the same, therefore u weigh less but still dont look 'toned'

    right this is step one. i need to lose weight as i have gained about a stone since last year and in not happy about it. managed to lose about 3 stone a few years ago so im gutted its creeping back on :(
    so, im gonna come on this thread and post weight on maybe fortnightly and if anyone need a diet buddy then count me in!
    any tips on where to start would be great too as at the minute the cabbage soup diet is feeling like my only option!

    Ok after having yet another failed attempt of trying on dresses, I have realised I am carring far too much weight and its down right pee'd me off!
    Hope that by my wedding in 8 months!!! I will not feel as I do right now!

    OK so, realistically I need to loose 4 stone! yup thats just scared the poop outta me, I GET MARRIED IN 8 MONTHS!!


    Started 21/02/2011
    Weight = 14 stone 8 or 207lb
    Height = 5 ft 9 or 175cm

    So based on this I need to loose 56lb over the next 3 months to hopefully then find a dress that fits!

    6lb a week! holy Mumma!

    well i am really happy today.The last day i weighed myself was two weeks before christmas, (as my batteries in my scales died after that.) I was 12stone 4 lbs, and it really got me down.
    I had a dress fitting at the end of january and it fitted perfect, i guess its good in a way but i really want to lose some weight - so i guess ill need to get it altered(if i manage to lose it).

    Anyway i started coming on here and seeing the challenge and tips etc, and with that as encouragement (as i had been down about putting all the weight i had originally lost back on)i started to watch what i ate.
    Today i was talking to another ukbride member about weight and decided to go and weigh myself, i have lost 9lbs and am now down at 11 stone 9.
    That together with all of the people on here has really gave me the kick i need to try and lose as much as i can before the middle of july when i go for my final dress fitting.

    Clarabella, I know....

    ...In all honesty I am so very doubtful I will loose that much, as it is so very unhealthy to loose weight that quickly!

    Id be happy loosing 3lb a week....As although its now not long before the wedding I can still slowly continue loosing the weight AFTER!
