So I get married in September 2016 and I found my dress (the dress of my most beautiful dreams) and put the dep down in December.

I get measured for my dress to be ordered in October. Just 6 little months away.

I said that after Christmas I would get on it and if I told 1lb a week it would be a fantastic achievement and I would be in great shape for ordering so if didn’t loss any more that would be ok. Realistically to be healthy and the best me I can be I should be losing about 6 stone.

The dress shop said they can take my dress in unto 2 sizes if needs be so I shouldn’t worry about losing a little more if I want to.

However.....

I haven’t lost any weight since Jan. I haven’t put on either but still. Not the point!

So I’m feeling rather flumped as if I don’t do anything I will only have myself to blame.

My H2B loves me no matter what my size but I’m not happy with myself hence wanting to do something about.

So this week I am trying this thing where I only eat when I’m hungry and stop eating when I’m full.

This may sound like common since but it isn’t to me.

I feel rather positive with this as when I think about how much I ate for no reason ... its a wonder I’m not bigger than I am.

I also got a push bike for this first time since I was a teenager!!!

That was a shock to my system. I rode it home last night (just under 3 1/2 miles. I had to walk it up a really steep hill and thought I was going to vomit when I got to the top. I didn’t! An achievement in itself if I’m honest!

I rode to work this morning (just under 2 miles). Admittedly it is mostly downhill - which I was grateful of as my bottom is killing me from yesterday, and I will have to ride home afterwards.

I’m hoping that it will get easier and that I will get healthier in the process.

I’m dreading it the but I really want to love it as it is low impact (I can’t really run as I hate it and I have a bad knee)

Has anyone else gone from nothing to quite allot of exercise? How did you find it?

And most of all, what pulled you through the hard times when you wanted to stop?

Thank you in advance

A very hopeful bride to be J

The key thing to remember is that, although exercise and being active can contribute to making you fitter and healthier, as well as helping you lose inches, you also need to focus on your diet to ensure that you're losing the weight too.

It's great that you're making active choices - biking instead of getting the car, getting off the bus one stop earlier - they won't seem so much like you're exercising, and gradually I'm sure you'll increase your fitness.

I never used to go to the gym, then last July I started to go (as well as coupling with Slimming World) and have so far lost 1st 10lbs, with another 1st 10lbs left to go before Christmas.

I was never 'fit' and would puff and pant like billy-o, and I still get tired and sweaty and achey, but that means it's working! Always make sure you do things within your means though And try and mix it up so you don't get bored - that was my problem. So maybe go swimming, or do some exercises in the house while you're watching TV.

Think about your end goal the entire time you're doing it. Set yourself mini-targets.
