Staying accountable!

Good luck with the journey! How are you finding it so far? I’m currently trying to loose 1.5 stone before mine (well January ready for dress alterations). Are you following a plan ?

View quoted message I very loosely follow SW. it works for me really really well until I go off the deep end. I'm an emotional eater so can be difficult to stay on track, however I'm hoping having something to head for will boost me a bit xx

Good luck! You can do this!! If you don’t mind I’d like to join this thread and be accountable too. I’m currently 13 stone 12 and I’m aiming to lose a stone before I try dresses on in 9 weeks and to be 11 stone before my March wedding 🤞🏻

View quoted message Good luck and the more the merrier! You'll smash that target! X

View quoted message Thank you 😀 when is your wedding? X

View quoted message Not until oct 2023 so I have ample time to reach my goal, it's whether or not I can keep it going lol xx

View quoted message That will fly by xD you can do it! Just constantly try and think of your dress, that’s what I’ve been doing x

Well I messed up already 🙄
I work in a cafe and we get food at work and I had my usual hash brown wrap with cheese... Damn it 😑 xx

I’m getting married in 7 weeks (have my 1st official fitting on Thursday). All I can say is focus on your dress.


When I bought mine in October I nearly cried - between lockdown weight gain and the fact bridal doesn’t do vanity sizing I felt awful. Between then and April when I went in to try on the dress I bought I’d dropped 3 dress sizes (6 inches on my waist) so my boutique ordered in a smaller dress to reduce my alterations bill.Since April I’ve dropped another 10lbs and 1.5 inches.
In bridal terms- initially bought a U.K. 18 (36” waist) , in April swapped for U.K. 14 (33 inch waist) and expect to be fitted to a 10/12 (my waist is now 29”). I’ve gone from 14.1 stone to 11.7 stone. I say this to say focus more on your measurements because the weight can only tell you so much- I’m hoping to lose another 10lbs Bh my end June 2nd fitting as this will hopefully give me a 28” waist.
Advice I can give is take lots of photos in underwear for your start weight so that you can focus on how far you’ve come. I say this because sometimes I forget and am down on myself. When I compare the before and after it reminds me that this weight and measurement was my initial goal. Anything more is just a bonus.
Good luck with your journeys!

View quoted message Oh no 😭 draw a line and try and be healthy for the rest of the day, maybe try and go for a walk if you can xx

Good luck👍

View quoted message Well I've done over 18000 steps today so thst goes some way to keeping it off I guess 😂 xx

View quoted message Wow that’s amazing! Well done! You must feel so proud of yourself! I’m hoping to achieve that by my wedding date xD

View quoted message Well done you! I’m ending the day on 16,000 steps! How did the rest of the day go? X

View quoted message Still not fantastic but tomorrow's a new day! I average 20000 on a work day, so as long as I can keep my eating in check it'll start flying off x

Hey!
Good luck with your journey. I managed to lose about 2 stone before dress shopping (for my covid cancelled wedding), it was really helpful to have the dress as a target! Now I’ve just got to not put it back on again while I wait another 16 months to wear it!
You can definitely do it.... and I wasn’t ever totally strict with myself while losing, that’s just boring! You have plenty of time, to lose slowly but still enjoy life, food and wedding planning 😀

View quoted message Aww well done, that's awesome! 😍
Today was a muuuuch better day, no snacking no rubbish xx

Hi how are you getting on with it all i am the same i am currently size 18 i know i need to lose weight but really struggling i am happy with how i look but dont want to look fat on the day even though its just me my partner and our 3 children x good luck x

View quoted message Doing well! No slip ups last few days, and I'm starting to see a difference in the scales.
Dont feel pressured if you're happy with how you look now x

View quoted message Well done and thanks x good luck x

Can I join in? March wedding moved to August and although I've lost a stone still have 2 to go. I doubt I am going to get to my goal weight in time now, but I just want to get out of the "overweight" category into "normal" at the very least!!

Hi.


Can I join in here.
I have seven and a bit months to go until my date. I keep thinking about how I need to lose a few pounds but no matter what I don't do anything about it 🤣🤣

You have plenty of time to smash this! Don't beat yourself up if you fall of the wagon, just get back on it and wipe the slate. Do it in a sustainable way and make health choices but don't restrict yourself. I have lost 7st 3lb over 2 years and is easier to maintain having done it slowly. You got this girl, and no matter what, you have a man who loves you for who you are not your size and that is the best feeling in the world. My before and after pics for a bit of thinsiprstion xx

Wow you look amazing x how did you do it i find it a struggle and iits even harder being a fussy eater x

As a personal trainer who has gone through the weight loss process myself , I advise anyone wanting to lose weight to set realistic goals, depending on how many months you have left , set goals for each month, remaining in a calorie deficit and mixing cardio and weights as weights are amazing for losing fat.

Using this simple natural method i lost 4 stone in 11 months, now its mission bride bod, giving me 12 months to lose the last wobbly bits i have but still setting realistic goals for each month

Good luck, and if you need any inspiration or encouragement, i have instagram @thebodyfitlab .

View quoted message Only just seen your reply, sorry! I did SW for 4 months but the switched to high protein low carb as I hated cutting things out and eating muller lights! I eat a lot of eggs for breakfast with avacado and bacon with fat removed or fruit and Yoghurt. Lots of hicken and fish but make sure half my plate has 3 different veggies. Snack on nuts and cheese or veggies and Houmus. I also fast 2 days a week so do t eat before 1pm just water. But main thing I find helps is to start day with a litre of water and then eat when am hungry not at traditional meal times, I tend to have 5-6 small meals (snacks) a day rather than 3 big ones

View quoted message Thanks for that im just struggling with being a fussy eater its so hard but i need to get myself i the right frame of mood and be determined to do something about it thankyou again x
