Wedding Diet Thread....

Hi ladies,

Congratulations on weight losses.

I've lost 3lb (not weighed myself since 2 weeks ago), total loss of 13lb now since November, slowly but surely the weight is coming off. Wish it would happen faster, but at least it's happening!

The weird thing is that despite dieting and going to the gym I don't seem to be losing inches, which , let's face it, is what we all really want. That 13lb has translated to 1/2inch off my waist and nothing off my hips!!! So frustrating.
I have however lost weight off my fingers, as my engagement ring is almost falling off. Why does it always come off places you don't care about?!

I'm pretty worried about this dress now as I HAVE to lose 1" off my hips before the big day, which is now only 12 weeks away. :eek:

I am now only 4lb heavier than I was when I used to wear a certain pair of jeans in my wardrobe, but they are nowhere near fastening up yet, none of the weight loss seems to have come off my hips & thighs. I think I'll have to be quite a bit lighter than I was to be able to fasten them again. Weird.

Has anyone else found this?

yep giddy thats me. i have tree trunk thighs and whatever i try it doesnt help. try those thigh raises exercies. they help..its so hard to lose from there. apparently running helps too which i hate.. bah. looking forward to all that soon. think my first area to target is the belly and love handles!!!! PT will def help to start off.

Thanks Rups, I'll definitely start doing some thigh raises. I have been trying to run too, even though I hate it!

I've also been looking into PT, but I'm working abroad again now and it's US $85 an hour here which seems really steep to me! Have you started your personal training sessions already? Did you find you pushed yourself more than you would have done?

Going to try Zumba tonight, maybe I can shake an inch off my hips. :rotfl:

Zumba is really good for your waist too, I got zumba for the wii and I only did a few times before I could start feeling muscles there.

im going to buy zumba wii soon. giddy you work in the us or on holiday? :0)

i havent started yet as i need time to recover from the miscarriage so i have been told to wait for around 4-6 weeks and after AF has come and gone, so i am taking it very easy and actually i do a bit of walking and i get tired. so my energy levels are pants right now. and yeah the PT was so good. I did some sessions with him a month before the wedding and he pushed me so hard. if that was me, i wouldnt even have done it and he knew what areas ihave issues with and he targetted those, like i said i had issues with a strapless so he made me work my back fat and arms. they are really good even though expensive so i will def go back to him to start. he makes me do boxing too which is soooo ogood.. i need that energy back. ahh cant wait.

Great!! I think according the GP i might have glandular fever. from one thing to another. been feeling rough in the past 2 hours and feverish.. bah.. tired of being ill now. :-(

You'll be well enough again soon enough Rups, you seem to be doing really well, coping fantastically in the circumstances.

I'm working here at the moment, been back and too since November 2010, don't know how me and Fiance are still together. :rotfl:I leave for good in April though, just 8 weeks. Coming home without a job which is scary, but feels strangely liberating. Hope it doesn't take me too long to find something though!

I have high hopes for this Zumba class. I have zero coordination, but I've been told they dim the lights so no one can really see you. :rotfl:
