I know, I think it is most females ultimate fear is putting on a swimsuit lol. Have been pottering about the place a bit more (probably more than am supposed to be in some eyes and am being careful about it), have been doing upper body work here and there too.
Should have seen the nurses face when I had to explain how I had done it, she was desperately trying to be all impartial and NOT wet herself laughing, poor woman thought I was crying in pain when we first arried at the hospital simply couldn't get through to her I wasn't it was from laffing. First time in nearly a decade I had given in to that kind of temptation of frolickin too.. Dagnabbit! Hae to admit it hurt but it was just the circumstances of how it happened were blimming hilarious lol.
CommentAuthorLulu1388
aw well least you can sit back and laugh about it! and the fact you were doing it with the nurse too, all helps with recovery!! its all good...!!
Well the fact you've been pottering around will do more than you think! also a newspaper article i read a while back said they tested 2 groups, 1 who only exercised for half an hr a time (yes at gym but whatever) and 1 group who did an hr + a time, showed those who did less actually lost more! so there you go! your allowed to be a lazy bum doing exercises on sofa, or go up and down stairs a few times in ad breaks (when your able to do that :P) things like that work better for you in the long run!! xx

Argh I'm so annoyed! Not weighed myself for a week or so and have been really good the last week and keeping my calories down... weighed earlier and I've put 4lbs on! How'd that happen? Can't exercise at the months cos I'm full of evil cold which away seems to b the case.. am really tired and constantly getting ill so I know I gotta start exercising but it's hard when can't breathe! Sorry rant over! X

Is there any way you can just incorporate more exercise into your day? Ie walking or biking when you'd normally drive, putting on a cd and having a boogie, manic housework? All these things burn calories and are easier than doing a formal exercise session xx

good luck ladies!!

Aw well done Jocelinetex, thats an incredible achievement!!!
I think I'm finally back on my journey properly now... having lost 2lb last night (no idea how!) I have only got 10lb to go till I reach my goal!! Saying that I may then go on to lose another 1/2 stone we shall see...
This was never for bridal diet or anything like that, but now have the added bonus of fitting into my size smaller than I am now dress when it arrives in March, and really hoping by then, it'll need taking in haha xx

By the time I finish I'll be at 5.5st loss too and that has definitely not been easy at all! I was a bigger girl, however it didnt fall off me like it did everyone else in the meeting haha! My first wk, they all lost what 5-8lb, me, 2lb! Slow and steady eh!
If you don't mind me asking how much more do you want to lose? & how are you doing it? - don't worry, I know thats a personal question - but just think what you have achieved so far is incredible :) don't let it take over though, still enjoy yourself!!! xx

looked at your profile pic and your perfect as you are hun ; ) back in feb when my little sister tryed my 'the one' dress on (becouse i was too big to try it on) she told me that she thought as she was 14 stone that i should make this my target, i didn't think for one second it was actually doable, plus i wanted to get healthy and i know it was best to do this slowly, so i held off on ordering a size. my dress has been ordered now it's a ronald joyce size 18, so i think my targets going to be 14 stone, the dress is a tie back, i can't wait for it to come so i can try it on for the first time ; D my plan has always been to get healthy, as the health issues i were beginning to suffer with were really getting me down, and i do feel alot better already and my health has improved so much, my blood results were perfect! i'm in no rush and will continue to live my healthy life style, weather this means i loss weight then so be it, but i am hoping it will slow down becouse i am feeling out of my comfort zone and i need my brain to catch up with my body lol hope that makes sense x i go to the gym 3 times aweek and i use the myfitnesspal app on my mobile so i watch how many cals im taking in x

BUT for the last few weeks ive cut out all snacks, ive cut my portion sizes down and started eating more salads instead of big stodgy meals and instead of chocolate ive been having fat free jellies when i need something sweet. I have started going gym again too :)
Yesterday i put on a shirt that a few months ago was way to tight across my belly and now its baggy YAY!!!

My target was to lose 3 stone - so far ive lost 1 and a half, but nobody seems to gave noticed which i find frustrating - i've dropped from a tight size 16 to a comfortable 14 (nearly back in my size 12) I'm going to try and lose another stone by xmas and then rethink my target weight. I am determined to be happy by next May because thats when i plan to start looking at dresses.

Im sure in time theyll start to notice! whats worse is the other wk i went from straight leg jeans to slim fit and everyone thought id lost a hell of a lot, i was like noooo all ive done is change my jeans! so maybe start looking at your wardrobe for inspiration...but in the mean time CONGRATULATIONS on all your weight losses!!! tattty - 2lb a week is incredible, wish i was that good!! slow and steady defo wins!!

I'm finding it REALLY difficult to lose weight and I've only got just over a year left. I'm actually GAINING weight instead of losing it! I've changed my diet to a healthier one, am running twice a week and power walk the other five days. What am I doing wrong? Any ideas?
Yesterday is history, Tomorrow is a mystery but today is a
gift. That's why it's called the present!

Raven as Tattty suggested it might be turning from one to the other rather than completely losing! I do barely any excercise and for the first 18 months didnt do any, now im hiphopping between few min on bike or 20min walk, nothing major! Exercise isnt me, so if it takes that lil bit longer to lose then so be it!
Today ill have put on at my WW class i know that much but from tomorrow, fresh start AGAIN (lost count of how many times ive had that convo with myself!)
LauraJo87 - thats amazing congratulations!! xx

Hello girls I need some support to help me lose weight and thought this would be a good place since im on here everyday lol Ive told myself im not trying on any dresses until ive got down to a certain weight. When I put my mind to it I can lose the weight but my problem is when my H2B come home. I put about half a stone on in the 2 weeks he's home
