right ladies thats it!!!!!

I weighed 16st 13lbs at slimming world when i joined on monday and my target is 11stone! I just need to get my head around it and some inspiration for evening meals, the breakfast and lunch i think i understand but evening meals i haven't got a clue i made the spag bol from the magazine but i've not got any further with tonights tea as we never got any meat out of the freezer so i need something that i can get out of the freezer to eat help!!!!!!

Zumba tonight (maybe weather is really nice but i need to get my butt into gear, decisions)

i did a very nice lamb rogon josh the other day at 425 cal was very tastie( with pataks curry paste), i had a large banana and a caramel shape delight for brekie 226 cal and scrambled egg on toast for my dinner 449cal adding up 1,100 plus a few cups of tea with 3 sweetners in each and milk ; ) this is my typical day becoz i dont like yog so i have the delights and omg they are tastie i dont like the choc 1 as much tho, i've found that the days i havnt had as much thinking i'll lose more weight fails my body goes into starvation mode and keeps hold of any thing i eat x

well just been on a 2 hour walk so this added weight which came from nowhere better start to go tomo.

help getting nowhere fast with my diet and its getting me down... done it before and lost over 2st in about 10/11 weeks but then i broke my leg and it all went out of the window.. this time round im not getting anywhere really, i know a big difference is im doing it on my own not joined any slimming world class cause i cant afford it...need help and motovation or something :(

Well I've had a really good few days = just had noodles and quorn fillet for my tea with loads of veg and it was only 7 propoints. then had some gorgeous british strawbs and blueberries with 24g of squirty cream (1 propoint) and a crushed mini merangue on top (zero propoints). It was delish! And I feel thoroughly satisfied. Hoping it continues

3.5 lbs off but i discovered places in my diet where i wasn't counting for things, i thought my water i drink everyday (volvic strawberry) was syn free turns out there are 12 syns a bottle!!!! so hopefully a bigger weight loss next week :-)

you'll be fine just make smart choices

My dress is here! Happy - and now very strict - days! x

Ooh Jill, mine too...it came today and I've booked my fitting for next Wednesday...so VERY strict for me! Had fruit for breakfast and zero point soup for lunch...but only because I'm off out for tea for a friend's birthday I'm going to pick sensibly but I wanted to keep points aside in case it's limited choice (pub food = not great). I'm also out on Saturday for lunch and drinks but I can pick sensibly there.

Feeling very focused and motivated right now...I think the gain is what I needed to get me back on track. Done my Zumba and Wii fit every day this week too so right now I feel good ... durrah durrah durrah duh! (as the song goes)

Joceline I havent - going to get it tomorrow... cant wait although I know it's gonna be too tight. I'll take my big pants lol

Sijen I love the feeling that choosing something sensible and staying in control gives you - nothing tastes as good as that feels!

BM - well done! I cant believe it's only 3 days for you... how exciting! Look forward to seeing your pics x

whoop whoop lost 2 1/2 lbs this week first time in a month i actually feel im getting somewhere on my diet ...just i continue to see good results xx

I’m so excited for you Jill ; )
right I’ve stayed the same weight for a month now because I’ve been slacking, I’ve been being good in the week but really bad at the weekends and this has made me maintain my current weight so with 2 months to go before my measurements are taken I’m going to try my hardest to follow the weeks good work though to the weekends, I really want to stand there in the bridal shop and be proud of myself even though I’m a plus size bride I’ve fully tried and lost some weight, instead of feeling like a failure for not giving it my all x

Thanks hun, I'm mega excited myself although the more I think about it the more I worry I wont get it on! I know exactly how you feel about the feeling when getting the dress on - I'm plus size too and had thought that if I could control myself and lose gradually since ordering, I'd be happier about it even if I was still overweight but I've not done that at all so now I'll just have to keep the head down and get on with it... 17 weeks tomorrow! x

Lofty you can do it hun, main thing is your dress does fit well now so all's well! x

I tried ww and sw but do my own now i go through funny stages

Last year i was 13st
Now im 11-8-9

Ive suffered alot of stress though with loosing my mum and now a friend recently i started walking more cutting out fizzy pop even diet coke i fiund it was making me crave more sweet stuff, now i always have a sensible breakfast and afternoon meal when h2b comes homes im alaways so busy in the day wil my little girl i dont eat dinner i know its naughty lol now the weathers changing im suffering from headaches so drinking plenty of water, i avoid going out to eat although i wont rstrict one fast food meal a week usually a wrap from mc ds or kfc xx

GOOD LUCK... we will all get there.. :)

Hi ladies, I havent been on here for ages as I have been avoiding the website. My Fiance is being made redundant so unsure if we can book the wedding just yet. Have still kept up with my Herbalife diet which is going great. I have now lost 2 stone and 5 pounds! yay!! Started at 20st2lb, now 17st11lb. Feels so great to be back in the 17s for the first time in about 8 years! Still a long way to go but I am very happy at the moment. Glad to see you are all doing well.

Herbalife is pretty much the same as slimfast but lots more options of pills etc to help. when i did slimfast before i was always hungry but i never am on herbalife. whenever you have been bad you can just do a mini detox or have more of the herbal tea and it fixes it! I love it sooooo much! I hate preparing food so it makes my life so easy! 2 shakes, 2 snacks and 1 meal per day. its taken 13 weeks buts thats only because i dont restrict myself. i have pretty normal dinners and still have big portions. if i was more strict i could have done it in half the time!

I'm sure we will be fine. My businesses are picking up nicely and him being off with redundancy money means i will have at least 3 months to focus on them and grow them more full time! At the moment I can only spend about 2-3 days a week growing my businesses so I'm hoping his redunancy is a blessing in disguise. I find herbalife so much easier than slimfast! More filling and some nice herbal versions of alli that are cheaper and I find work really well.

Well ladies this week I have been spot on! Tracked EVERY single thing I have eaten and lost 3.5lbs!!!! I am absolutely over the moon.

Now only 6lbs away from goal and 7 weeks to do it in! Need to keep the focus as feeling really good at the moment but worried it will all slip again once I'm back at work next week.

well done sijen x youll defo get that 6lb of no problem xx

i get weighed tomozz and kinda dreading it xx

Well done Sijen - thats amazing
I seem to go through periods of not loosing weight despite being really good and I start to get demotivated
I only have about another 2kg to loose but its not shifting :(

I cycle about 20km a day on my exercise bike and have been doing it pretty much every day. I'm not a big fruit fan but eat lots of veg! I was about 2000 kcal under my myfitnesspal target so not sure what I'm doing wrong
I don't think the bh helps as i control my lunch much better if I'm away from h2b as he eats loads!
I'll give it to the end of the week and then reassess I think

lost another 3lbs this week so thats 6.5lbs in two weeks :-) bring on the half stone sticker next week :-D

Ahem start again

lost 10 lbs in 8 days yeyyy

10lb in 8 days!! i wish i could do that!! ive put on weight the past two weeks okay its only 1.5lb but ive had such a yoyo these past few weeks ive not lost without putting it back on the next week, ive lost all motivation and i cant seem to find any.

somebody needs to kick me up the bum with a big foot in order to get me back on the game again.

ive thought about slimming tablets will these help or will they just make things hidden under the rug ???
