Wedding Diet Thread....

Swinstie73

Hi all, I'm in too!

At 5' 3" I was always skinnyish and around 9 stone, put on over a stone in the last few years due to contented relationship and the implant which has now been removed. Hadn't lost any weight though, just hovered around 10 stone 2lbs, which doesn't seem to bad but I looked and felt awful. Started wearing size 14 clothes, not bothered about that but my dress fits snugly now but want it to fit perfectly. Even when at 9 stone, I had a tum, now looking to get leaner.

Have never followed a diet but been doing boxing training and I've just got a personal trainer - not as big an indulgence as you would think, he's my cousin and I'm getting a family discount, he has put me on a nutrition plan - high protein, low fat and so far according to my scales, I've lost three pounds. I'm even eating a proper breakfast and never feel hungry or had cravings and I love chocolate!!!

Breakfast - eggs done anyway with turkey rashers or lean bacon
Lunch - brown tortilla wrap with chicken or tuna, salad
Dinner - steak with sweet potato and loads of veggies
Snacks - 1/2 pk cooked chicken, some cashew nuts - 1 - 2 snacks per day (limit fruit)
Drinks - no alcohol or fizzy drinks

Doesn't sound like loads but it's really filling and there's other options. Woman in work told me I was eating too much, eh, mind your own business, cous went to Uni for 4 years, he knows what he's talking about!

Great to hear there are more people wanting to join in. I have asked if this thread could be sticky thread, as it would get more people interested and hopefully give some confidence back to some ladies/men that do not have it at the moment.

Don't be afraid to join in. There's no need to comment every day, do whatever you feel.

I'll join this thread too, if you don't mind!

I'm 5"2 and currently 10 stone 4lbs - my aim is to be under 9 stone by the time I get married - which gives me just under a year! :eek: My down fall in this is snacking - I'm so bad, especially when I'm stressed at work.

I've just joined a gym, and have a Wii Fit so I have no excuse really!

Hiya,

I'm losing weight for my wedding too, fastly approaching on the 23/7 :j

I have always been a yo-yo dieter, and have managed to put on a fair few extra lbs a few at a time and never shifted them.

So on 1st Jan I started my diet, and ordered a size 12 dress from China.

Dress is gorge. Am getting there with fitting in it... Have lost 1stone 5lbs so far, and ideally would love to lose another stone before the big day (around about 1lb per week, so in theory i should be able to do it)

I weigh in at home on a weds. I have an email buddy who I write to most days with all my dieting triumphs and low spots too. Shes dieting too, and its so nice to have support. We are both doing really well because of it

I aren't following a plan in particular. I did weight watchers years ago, but I didn't want the expense of a weekly meeting, and also I don't know if i could fit it into my family lifestyle now (I have a 4yr old daughter). I got my journal out from last time, and I used to eat ready meals all the time, or take outs, or meals out as I could point these quite easily and cooking and working out the points for all the ingredients was too much like hard work. But these days, a meal out or a takeout is a rare treat, and I cook every day. So I just cut down on snacks, alcohol, puddings, cheese etc, and make healthier type meals and try to watch the portion size.

I also now do quite a bit of exercise, I bike to work every day now, I do zumba, I go to the gym - all of which I love. Try to do some family exercise too, walking, biking as a family, or swimming where we can.

Am actually enjoying it all on the whole. Love zumba sooooo much!! I don't deprive myself of stuff, so I don't crave anything. And people have all started noticing and commenting now on the weight loss, so thats always a really encouraging sign

Hi

Can I join in too?

My wedding isn't till next August, but need to shift the weight!

Am only 5ft and weigh about 12 stone. Again another one who's far to content in their relationship and a bit to fond of the odd glass (or two) of wine and then the resulting nibbles:(

I need motivating desperately... so hopefully this thread will give me the kick I need:)

Thanks for starting this thread PrincessDonna, and congratulations on your weight loss so far!

I'm another one who is not medically overweight, but as a fairly petite and small-boned person every pound shows. I want to lose around 10lb before I think about my wedding dress, really.

Good luck ladies and gents!

Okay, so today hasn't gone well....

Tomorrow is a new day slowlyfading! Draw a line under it and start afresh tomorrow. We all have those days!

I have joined up with WeightWatchers and have lost 12lbs so far. Still about 22lbs to go for my wedding in August though so quite a bit.
I am quite tall (5ft 6) so carry the extra weight quite well but my clothes are bursting at the seams.

Great idea for a thread!
