Wedding Diet Thread....

Rups32

ahh if you add it, will you just get it without that belt thing, as we are with lovefilm? hmm i am tempted to do that too.

Hiya Rups32, I know what you mean. This is the first time I haven't done the gym as part of my dieting, but I'm on a tight budget with saving up for the wedding - plus I'm reeeeally unfit, so it's baby steps to begin with!

Johannalf88, I know what you mean about lying to the cal counter - I have been tempted! But even though I went over the first couple of days, being honest has actually helped. I saw those red numbers on the tally and it just made me more determined!

I'm not on any diet plan as such, just watching my calories really - and making sensible choices, like low GI foods so I don't get too hungry between meals. It's usually wholegrain cereal in the morning (or Belvita if I'm in a rush!), and a sensible lunch and dinner. I keep mini raisin boxes at my desk if I need something sweet during the day, but so far the urge to snack hasn't been too bad.

Plus, every time I waver I say a little mantra in my head. (It came to me one day last week out of nowhere!) A scary sergeant major-type voice shouts in my head: "DO YOU WANT THAT DRESS?" And I reply: "YES I DO!" I know it sounds a bit crazy, but it seems to be helping!

that is GREAT Ms.. lol i want to do that as yesterday, i DIDNT even need a snack and i had a cookie.. grrr. old habits hey? I love those Belvitas. I had 4 yest and they kept me going till after the gym. love the stuff. :0).. Its my belly that bugs me the most!! I have big hips and boobs but i can deal with that, its just the bloody belly!!!

I don't know if it will come without the belt, probably won't have it. But I am sure u will get the same workout!

Msshopper positive thinkin will get you there!

MsShopper

I'm with you on the belly! I'm already researching wedding corset-type things, as I know it will be the hardest thing to shift. And no point doing sit-ups until I've shifted some junk from the trunk, so to speak!

Rups32

lol.i tired getting a 'sexy' corset type thing, but it didnt fit my boobs very well so have to return it..:0( was so sad. maybe can go to bravisimo and get one there as i get my bras there. i have my love handles too so wheni wear a basque type thing, they stick out! grrrr

MsShopper

Yeah, I'm a bit worried about the fit as well. A similarly generously-proportioned friend of mine recommended Rigby & Peller for great-fitting shapewear. But I'm not sure my budget will stretch to that! Would be lovely though...

Hello, msshopper.

It's my belly too. Well belly, bingo wings and cake shelf. Sadly the only way to lose that lot is to firm the core muscles and blast the fat and that's the last place the fat goes from. Grrr.

Rups32

cake shelf? lol. yeah i can see howthat shred dvd would help. i am so happy that the gym have re-introduced circuits as that used to get me working properly. :-)

oh i got mine from Rigbley and Peller but i am not happy with it, esp as it didnt fit me well and she said it did, and when i went for my fitting, the lady looked at it and just said why that woman at the shop let me have it esp as my boobs were popping out a bit? grrr.. it would have looked tacky with the hills coming out of my dress. i will return that and go to debenhams or bravisimo. they are expensive too.

Why is it so hard!!??! I am now really hungry... And have to wait atleast an hour until lunch.
