I have 5/6 months to lose a stone and a half...can I do it?

Yes I think you can do it easily. I lost 2 stone in 2004 in 4 months before my wedding with Slimming World. It was easy & I never felt hungry. I felt good on my wedding day.

After 2 babies myself the weight has crept back on so I am going back to SW tonight. Do you really think you can lose the weight by yourself or would Slimming World or Weight Watchers help you?

I was hoping to lose it by myself...well that was before I went shopping this afternoon now the cupbaords are filled with treats for the girls haha this will take willpower! I might have a look at the WW SW options though as the worst thing for me was to feel hungry....Ive got a sweet tooth and head for the cakes I just need to keep the dress in my mind and that should keep me strong

Hi Bhambride. I think it's a realistic loss and you certainly have a great incentive! I've done ww in the past and have been following it by myself since the start of Jan and I've already lost well over a stone. I don't do any formal exercie as such but walk a lot!

Good luck!

I think keep going with what you are doing, exercise is the key - make sure you walk at a good pace when you are walking to keep your heart rate up, which will burn more fat. Keeping a food diary also helps, the one I totally recommend is Nutracheck, which you can sign up to a 5 day trial and is about 6.99 (?) a month thereafter. But there are some free ones if you google it, I have tried a couple but always go back to nutracheck as the forums are so great and encouraging. good luck x

WEES. You can definitely do it. Exercise and drinking lots of water seem to have been my biggest helpers in the past.

You're getting married the day after me!! You can definitely do it, I've lost 2 stone in 4 months following SW and I've got another 5-12lbs to lose before I get to target. I want to be at target by the time my dress arrives in July. I wouldn't have been able to do it without SW

Just keep focussing on your dress and how beautiful you'll look on your big day, that thought should supress any sugar cravings x

Like everybody else has said its definitely do-able. Keep thinking positive and lots of exercise!!
