Wedding Diet Thread....

Olokia

The nurse that I was seeing to help me lose weight was getting slightly annoyed because every time I went to see her (every 2 weeks) I had put on a kg and my food diary wasn't that good. Also because the Xenical she is giving me is quite expensive, she said it was a waste of the NHS's money if I wasn't trying properly. If I hadn't lost by the next time I see her then she will stop the appointments. The next appointment I could get was in a months time so I now have a deadline to lose some weight.

I decided to plan my meals for the next month and stick to it. I saw her on Friday and since then I have lost 1.5kg :j. That is including going out friday night to a restaurant and having alcohol .

I really hope I can keep to the diet now. I can't exercise so it is all down to diet.

ohh Olokia, someone had tried the Tesco diet on here and lost lots of weight. have a look at that one. you can still eat what i call normal stuff anyway. xx

That pill sounds interesting Rups. I never know whether to try those kind of things or not, and in the end I always decide I don't want to spend the money! haha.

My 'must try harder' yesterday really didn't work out!! We went shopping, stoped for lunch and had a nice healthy jacket potatoe with beans (so far so good) then we met up with a friend of ours, had hummingbird bakery cupcake (best things ever!!) while at the cinema and then went for a curry! So so so many calaries. heehee.

Today I have had toast, and just had subway so not brilliant but not too bad. Lots more bread than I normally have but we have very limited stuff at home...must must must do shop later!!

My aim for this week is to have stayed the same; we have had an indulgent weekend and I only managed to loose 3 lb last week due to being ill.

Rups32

Ah Em that is so good that you lost 3 lb (even though when you were ill). Its sad that yummy food tastes sooo nice. grr i hate thinking about food ALL the time. The pill seems to be doing its job for me, so far.. (touchwood )

normally i have to eat a snack at 11/11/30 ish or before i go to the gym, and today i missed the snack as wasnt hungry. so all i have had is a pot of granola with yoghurt in the morning, and then for lunch i was slightly naughty and had a lovely chicken tikka panini with a pack of crisps, and i am full. i could have done without the crisps but its habit to eat with a panini. nasty habit. oh and having pepsi max. hehe

lets see how long i last now till dinner.;)

Thanks but tried Tesco diet and the Sainsburys one. I didn't like them.

I went to bbcgoodfood website and clicked on low fat meals and just chose quite a few meals from there. I am also using a website to track my food. The nurse is also giving me Xenical. I lost weight this way 2 years ago but I could also exercise then so I have to try even harder this time.

My main problem is I start a diet and it goes ok for a few weeks. I lose hardly any weight so I think whats the point and give up. This time I have my wedding to try to keep me motivated so I'm hoping it will work this time.

I find it hard to stick to a diet because until 6 years ago I could eat whatever I wanted and still be underweight.

i understand and sympathise with you. I gained weight after i had my meningitis and ever since, i have always battled with it. i cant do these diets and as all i think of then is food and feel so miserable so i stuck to eating whatever i fancied but with exercise... I maintained my weight that way but whenever i stop the gym, i start gaining. so am trying to be better this week. have to cut down my calories as well and that pill is helping. I decided to be brave about that pill after years and years of no diet/pills etc.. i have never taken diet pills so this is my first, and i dont know what made me try it so quickly, esp as it takes me ages to decide and then back out!

a friend of mine lost a lot of weight making loq fat recipes from the bbcgood food site. they have yum recipes..:0)

Ladies, I am doing so badly I pledge to do so much better in November

Em88

I am finding it really hard too. I really want to do lots of baking and eating yummy stuff but I also really want to be a slim bride and I just try to keep telling myself that. SO if I am heading towards the chocolate/other junk food I try to make myself think about the dress and looking amazing on my wedding day. We are spending a fair amount on the photographer I want to look as good as I can in the pics.

slowlyfading

Same here! I need to do better, much better.

I'm going to pledge that, for November, I will not touch any junk food of any type.

Hi everyone,

Please can I join I need serious help :eek:

I'm not getting married until 2013 but my weight is out of control this year and I really need to cut my habits.

A few years ago I did weight watchers and lost 2 stone and managed to keep at that weight of 10 stone 6 pounds. A little while after I dropped down to just over 9 stone due to stress etc and managed to keep to this until the end of last year. But since then I have gone way back up to over 12 stone :eek: that's more than I originally weighed before weight watchers. I'm on 5 foot 2 so the extra weight really shows!
My eating habits are bad and I'm in a bad routine, my fiancee is doing slim fast and has lost 1 stone 7 pounds in about 6 weeks and his doing really well! We were supposed to help eachother and I feel like I'm letting him down
My family are always commenting on my weight and it's really annoying me.
I've bought my wedding dress in a size 12 and it fits lovely apart from the back. I really want to get down to my original size 10/12 but just don't seem to have the motivation which is stupid cause I have my dress to fit in to

I think I'm going to need to post on here to chat and keep me on track

Sorry for the whole essay
