Weight Loss Support Group

_Tinderella_, 11 November, 2017 at 09:03 Posted on Beauty & Wellbeing 0 19

Hey all,

Is there anyone else else on here who is hoping to lose some weight for the big day?

I have a massive 6.5 stone to lose (1 stone down now!) before I get married in mid 2019. I wondered if anyone else was trying to shift some lbs and how they are getting on.

It would be great if we could create a support group and share some of our tips and tricks with other brides to be!

    Hi there

    I have been struggling this past year and think a group is a great idea. I get married in 2019 and work 12hr shifts and seem to be putting it on rather than losing it ?

    Hey!

    I am also trying to shift weight, I had a baby less than a year ago but was a bit lazy in trying to get rid of it all until now. I have been on the slimfast 321 diet since January this year, 3 snacks, 2 shakes, 1 meal and ive lost 2 1/2 inches off my waist so far. Ive been doing a little 15 minute jogg about 2/3 timees a week which obviously helps with weight loss too. I cant actually notice anything but my fiance says you definitley can... So annoying when you just want it to be off now!

    What are you doing?

    Hi,

    My lovely partner and I have been on a Weight Loss mission since we got engaged in September.

    To support our journey we started blogging about it, not very well and I have just been adding tips and stuff to the site. The support I get for doing this on my small Facebook page and Twitter etc has helped me stay motivated, especially over Christmas and I am sure it will work over Easter.

    Since September I have lost three and a half stone and my partner (who had a lot less to lose has lost nearly two.

    I am also thinking of starting a closed Facebook Group to help people like us talk to each other in a more fluid way.

    A question, does anyone use a Fitbit to help their weight loss?

    If anyone wants to check it out, We are on Facebook or feel free to check out the page here

    If you are interested in a Group, I will put one together, I have some other people interested, will be great to all work together Smiley smile

    Thanks team

    Hi all

    New to the forum, got engaged (such a wonderful surprise) last weekend and still on cloud 9. However I've about 2 and a half stone to 3 stone to lose. Began to start losing weight earlier on in the year until my mum was diagnosed with cancer in February and I've been struggling ever since!

    We are yet to set a date, and are in no rush as such but I'd really like to kick start. I'm off next week for half term and going to sit down and look at some ideas. Work full time and am almost always too tired to cook a full meal from scratch...and want to have the motivation to batch cook!!!

    Anyone else have a similar problem.

    I am sorry to hear about your mum but congratulations on the proposal Smiley smile

    It really isn't as hard as it sounds to cook from scratch, especially if you do it together, simple recipes are best so check out allrecipes.com as a lot of them are recipes from your average joe, so less ingredients, but there is nothing wrong with grabbing some so juicy packets and chucking it all together and having salad or something on the side but if you really want to batch cook, i cannot recommend a slow cooker enough! I chuck it on, on my day off of work and have meals in portions in the freezer, even lasagne with a side salad Smiley laugh down 7 stone now, 3 more to go, remember to stay clear of diets and crap, never lasts.

    Good luck x

    In the same boat and meal replacements are working for me. It's good to know what you're eating at each time everyday and exactly how many calories it has. A bit boring but effective!

    Has anyone tried Juice plus. I would like to share, if you are interested pm me... This is any amazing lifestyle change.. Makes you feel so much healthier... Two shakes, which are meal replacements and two healthy snacks, and a healthy meal, I usually take a booster before my evening meal, which is an appetite suppressant and reduces your calorie intake by 25%. I love it and it really works an teaches you all about clean living. Best bit for me is your never on your own as full mentor support with recipies, tips, motivation and lots of chatter. PM me if interested xx
