Anyone trying to lose weight for their wedding?

I managed to lose 3stone 6lbs and was only 2 stone from where I wanted to be.... and then I got pregnant lol. Oh well at least I have an excuse now for looking big in my wedding dress. Desperately trying not to put on too much weight though. So far I have put on 3lbs in 22 weeks. Which isnt too bad, at least its not 3 stone.

Keep up the good work it will be well worth it in the end when you all look stunning on your special day

i lost three stone very very quickly when i left my exH three years ago. I then moved back home to be nearer my friends a family and since then I've put a stone back on, it's gutting.

a few weeks ago i was complaining about my weight and h2b said "there's nothing wrong with being a bit chunky". I was not happy. It's okay for me to say it, but it's not okay for him to!

Well, I work in a chocolate shop, which is a little like a recovering pyromaniac working in a fireworks factory :rotfl:

How do you possibly cope?

I'm really struggling just now with the motivation. I'm really stressed out and just can't seem to stop munching. Meals are all healthy, it's just everything in between thats the problem.

Men dont really get it. Its a girl thing, although my mates think I am a bit odd. I have the view that I dont want to be slim, I never want to be a size 12. The smallest I have been since I was 14years old is a size 14 and my happiest size was 16-18. I think alot of it is finding where you are happy. I hae had a couple of mates lose 8 stone and still not be happy, so have put some back on and found their happy size. Women are very complex creatures whilst men are simple beings bless their cotton socks

What I did whilst trying to lose weight was only take healthy snacks with me (in abundance) and no money unless I knew I needed x amount for bus fares etc. If I looked at the healthy snacks and thought no I dont fancy that then I decided that I wasnt actually hungry. HTH as it was my biggest hurdle when shifting the lbs. Will leave the slimming brides be whilst I slink off with green eyes lol

I have lost a stone so far on slimming world and have another half stone to go. Also want to tone up and particularly my arms. Wedding dress ordered and can't wait for the call that it's in so I can try it on again and get the alterations made.

Oh dear, today really hasn't been good....

I'm aiming for a petit size 10 - I'm only 5"2 so I think it'll be okay! I'm debating whether to buy myself some cheap size 10 jeans to motivate myself... hmm.

Thanks - I've just asked OH to move most of his crisps and biscuits from home to his office drawer so that I can't be tempted. Before he moved in I never had any of that stuff in the house as it was too much temptation, and now it's always there! He's happy to move it as its mostly at work that he eats the junk (and depite how much he eats he still stays slim!)

Anyway, on a positive note after a really bad week last week I was very nervous about stepping on the scales today, but I've actually managed to lost 1.5lbs over the last 2 weeks and feeling a bit more motivated as a result

I've got less than 4 weeks to my wedding, and the dress fitting is tomorrow! Fingers crossed it fits; I don't think I've gained any weight since I ordered it, but don't think I've managed to lose much either

Maddie_S, could you please amend my details on your original post? I used to be Jane81 but am now White_Sapphire.

Due to my inherent greed and a stressful time at college I have lost a grand total of 1lb in two weeks :embarasse Still, could be worse, 1/2lb a week is still a loss!

My target is 12lb in total by the end of January (slightly revised from my last post ). So if I can lose 7lb by Christmas I will be very happy.
