theres a thread at the top of the page hun, with loads of dieting people and advice xx

Yeah I'm trying. I lost a stone then put it back on over xmas so I'm starting again from scratch.

You may not lose it from where you want to lose it from but you could do more toning exercises on your arms or wear a shrug or jacket?

I thought about wearing a shrug or something, I could get away with it as we are having a autumn wedding.

I cant do any excersize yet because I have recently had abdo surgery and not aloud to do anything like that, back to the gym is a few weeks tho ..... I am a student nurse and like you, sam, I too grab food as when I can, however I amm grabbing all the wrong kinds of food. Keep saying to myself I will start again on monday lol..... been saying that since xmas

i dont want to diet lol just loose weight x

Need to lose 1st but like you because I know its so far away (aug 2012) I cant be bothered at the mo and am struggling to get myself motivated.

Suzky I have no motivation I keep sneaking chocky bars and not deducting the points..... still los 2 lb so all is not too bad

i have joined up at the gym today to start to loose weight for the wedding, and also play on wii fit more now

Ive lost 4 and a half stone since getting engaged last April but it seems to have stopped now and its really annoying. Finding it hard to get motivated and dont really know what I can do now to shift the last bit.... doing everything right with just the odd treat now and then. Guess I'm just not designed to go any lower! Still, I can get in my dress so I cant complain and gone from a size 20 to 12 so should be happy..... just frustrating to get so far and not be able to finish what I started! Its only another 7lbs to go but feels like a huge stumbling block.

Octbride, dont fear, it will happen, you will make sure of it.

Suzie and Jane you are an amazing inspiration for others. Thats great.

What you have to remember is after a certain period of time your body doesnt or cant loose anymore, its stuck for a reason, always remember that if you stay the same weight, give or take 2/3lb for about 12 months, you'll find you will stay that weight for a considerable amount of time, unless you completely go off the rails :0/


Supporting each other is also a must.

Well done Oct, I am more of a portion size person, lol!
However I can hand on heart say in the last 10 days I have lost 8lbs through cutting down everything and feel great. xx

Ah bless ya, you will be fine, practise makes perfect. Hmm, I have been eating little and often too, made some home made cabbage, pepper and tomato soup, its rather spicy but fills me up. xx

I've just had the home made soup concoction to warm my cockles, lol!
Got Belated V Day meal tonight. Curry... However i am having the dry tandoori mixed grill with salad :0)
mmm, making my mouth water already, lol!
Have you ever made home made chicken soup Kirsty? mmm......

Have you tried those choc snack a jacks?

Serious its scrummy, you should try, chop it, shove it in a pan, boil then simmer, then liquidise and pot it....
or have it chunky.

Chop up
2 white or red onions
3 or 4 peppers, I used red, orange and yellow (not so keen on green)
1 cabbage (minus the middle hard bit)
whole bunch of celery
i also put in a chopped chilli and 2 cloves of garlic.

Put them all in a pan with 1000 ml of stock. Use the chicken no salt knorr stock cube of something of similar.
bring to the boil.
Once gone soft shove in 2 tins of chopped toms and any seasoning you may want..
I put in chilli powder, corriander, garam marsala, its to your own taste.
Leave to simmer for about 15 mins.
Taste to see if needs anymore seasoning or spicing up :0)
You have the choice of having it chunky or blending it.
I belnded mine to quite a thick consistency and its lush.
let me know how you get on babe.

It's yummy honest. Put what you want in it. I took note of everything and ran it through MFP to get the calorie, fat, carb and protein so know what each serving is. Can add meat or fish if want but that will bump up cals and protein. The contents of 4 bowls of soup equals I bowl of cereal!!!!
Lol.
Let me know how you get on mate. Xxxx

yep and you can freeze it mate. for me it works and if it didnt I would say.
I actually had a full on roast round the inlaws yesterday and I was still unuder calories.
You can do it mate.
xxx

if its blended you can have it to any consistency, like a thicker tommy soup :0)
Keep me posted. xxxx

bl**dy fantastic mate, well done, bet you are over the moon.
