O/Tish Weight loss Help...

Anyone else trying to lose weight for their speical day?

I'm doing weight watchers at the moment and need some support!

What is everyone else trying?

I tried a shake diet.. but felt soo tired and ill so had to stop. Think im going to try taking accai berries and cut out all the wine and crap food and hope it works! Im not a good diet person, no motivation at all! x

I'm current;y trying rosemary conley. My problem is portion sizes and their little pots you get really help with. I had lost almost a stone but put some back on as haven't been that good lately.

I'm back on it this week x

I'm on Slimming World - just having to go and be weighed in front of a lady is what motivates me - I get scared of what the scales will say in front of her!!

Previously we were doing FatFighting Fridays on hitched, everyone who was trying to lose weight could say how they had done that week - a lil motivational push!

HI, I'm doing Slimming World, I'm managed to shift 10 pounds so far but for the past few weeks have been staying the same because I haven't been doing it properly!! This week I am determined to lose something! I think it helps to go to the class every week and weighing in! xx

iv got quite a bit of weight to lose before i get measured for my dress/corset........im not following any fad diets i have just switched to 'clean eating' (basicaly only complex carbs like brown rice/pasta, wholegrain breads, lots of good proteins like turkey and fish and tons of fruit and veggies)and i exercise regulary (cardio and resistance) by doing this iv lost 31lbs in 12 weeks which im really pleased with. My general heath has improved masses too, i suffered very very badly with my IBS but since changing my diet i have not had many episodes and have masses of energy and have been sleeping better! id deffinately reccomend it, anyone interested should google 'tosca reno' who founded clean eating :) :)

Hiya Ive been on WW too, but just doing it online, not going to the meetings.  I started in Jan and have lost just over 2 stone - and I have to say I feel better than I have in years.  My dress is going to need to be taken in loads, but thats another matter!!  I have to say I think the thing that has helped the most has been cutting out loads of booze - and on the plus side I get drunk now after about 2 drinks, so OH thinks me a cheap date! lol

Keep strong - It'll be totally worth it in the end! x

Everyone keeps saying, oh you should be really focused now you haven't got long! But being an emotional eater and being stressed doesn't help.

Well i will get weighed thursday (expecting a gain) then just start a fresh Friday xx

Thanks girls xxxx

Hi, I'm following Slimming World, I don't go to meetings though. I'm an emotional eater too, so hope we can all help each other to shift that flab! I'm not getting married, but I'm 30 in 3 months, and determined to look good! Good luck to you all!

Thanks Laura.

I think what is getting to me, is that i have my final fitting Thursday!! Arugh!

Hey month twin, I'm donig ww too but not going to meetings etc, just know the points by heart from doing it years ago - it doesn't help my motivation though! I'm a bit of an emotional eater too - when stressed, order pizza!

I've found exercise is helping me the most, doing lots of walking (I work 6 miles from home but twice a week have been walking 3 then getting the bus) and also going on the wii to try and tone up. Ideally I'd like to lose 7lb but the last few pounds are meant to be the hardest so I'm really struggling too - I either stay the same or put on a pound, so annyoing! I haven't been an angel, but have been much better than normal. Have my first dress fitting today so am just going to see how I feel. I don't want to crash diet but don't want to look back and wish I'd made a bit more effort.

Good luck, and sure you will look lovely regardless of these flipping 'points'!

Yep, I am a wedding dieter too!!

I started in December (the week before xmas!!) but although I did wel to begin with, I yo-yoed loads. I am well and truely back on track now though. I have lost 1 stone 6lb's but thinking this week I should have done around 3lb as I have been a saint!

I have to give my measurements for my dress in Jan so hoping to have lost about 4 stone for then!!!

I am doing Slimming World

I have been cutting down my portion sizes and swapping my snacks for healthier versions. Also been on my wii fit at least twice a week which is great cos I don't have to be embarrassed by excercising in front of people and I can track my weight on their and set mini targets without paying to join a 'club'.

I have lost 13lbs in 7 weeks so it is going well at the mo!

Good luck with your weight loss plans xxx

Phew... i have some good news. The dressmaker is ill, so my fitting has been moved now till the 29th. So an extra week of dieting!

I'm going for the dreaded weighing in tonight. Looking forward to it in a way. I'm hoping it may shock me into doing something.

Back on track tomorrow!!

Awww good for you! I'm pleased to say I've been quite good this week, despite having a little upset. I nearly grabbed the nearest chocolate bar, but then I just have to remind myself that it won't help, and I try to remember times in the past when I've used food as a crutch, and how it made me feel after I'd eaten stuff I shouldn't - not very good!

Plus, I've treated myself to some really lovely fruit every day this week, I know it might not sound like a treat but I love cherries so I've been making the most of them being in season!

Good luck for tonight, let us know how you get on x
