Losing weight before wedding

[Helpmeplan]

We are getting married in October 2019 so plenty of time. Anyone want to join me on a weight loss journey? I have 19lb to lose.

No, I'm a fan of my fitness pal and running

I’m using MFP and running too, find it works best for me if I can eat what I want but just count the calories

Did my 3 and 1/2 pounds 😀 feeling really motivated. I think I'm aiming for 20-30lb by sept. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Wow well done Tigger! That's impressive. I'm starting to feel a bit desperate now, haven't eaten much this week at all and lost nothing. I hate crash dieting but I feel like I might have to do it now.

Three pounds off last week! Feeling quite pleased about that

How's everyone else doing?

Can I jump in? Getting married May 2019 but going wedding dress shopping in August so would like to lose a few lbs before then! I’m the top end of healthy weight which is fine, but I’m not a fan of my wobbly belly. I have PCOS and find it tonight to lose weight soonly seem to be managing 1lb a week but it’s better than nothing right? Have lost 5lbs so far but it’s been like 6 week

Aiming for calorie counting.

Where are you guys up to with the wedding planning? What are your venues like etc?

Mine is a big country house with a marquee in the gardens - we have it for the whole weekend and will be staying in the bedrooms in the house. Means there will be minimum hassle with transport etc.

Wedding planning is mostly done - need to get a move on as we're only 4 weeks away now! Just need to find a band and figure out who's staying in the house etc. Oh and sort out flowers & table arrangements.

Me!
Also getting married May 2019 skeleton, have my dress but there is room for me to be smaller! I would love a stone off, at least. Have lost 3st so far over the last couple of years but have come to a fat plateau 😭😭😭

Have joined team rh fitness, based on calorie counting and eating set macros. But this week I am low carb to try and kick start things as went away for half term and ate everything in the south west 😂🙈🙄😂

Just had a sneaky peak before my weigh in on Friday... so far 4lb down from last week 🤞🏻🤞🏻it sticks for weigh in day (or a little bit more!) I've had to go dairy and soya free to try and help my little ones reflux so hopefully that'll help too as no chocolate temptation!!

Wow amazing!

I keep taking sneaky peeks but it's not doing me any good as I keep just sticking at one weight for ages and then dropping down in one lump!

Am hardly eating anything at the moment as it's so close to the wedding but it doesn't seem to be helping... grr

I managed to lose another 4lb, then put 3 of them back on over a weekend away!

Now 12 Stone 8, wanting to be between 10 stone 7 and 11 stone.

Mrs when's you're wedding? I'm aiming for similar but don't think I'll make it by sept!

If I lose 2lbs a week I can do it... just need to remain focused it's only 14 weeks out of my life, I need to do it for my health too as I may have a bit of a funny liver lol.

Ww is working for me but I just need to keep on tracking and no cheating! Going dairy free and soya free is helping lots as I can't binge on chocolate or crisps lol everything has soya in! 🤞🏻🤞🏻for weigh in tomorrow

I’ve got until August 2019 thankfully! Though if I continue at the current rate, I’ll reach my target in June next year, which doesn’t give me much time for dress alterations.

I’ve not checked in on the thread recently but things are still going to plan. Been trying to lose weight for 7 weeks now (a bit before the thread started I think) and am down about 19lbs. About halfway to my goal. Have booked for me and my bridesmaids to go to a wedding fair which was my 1 stone ‘reward’, need to set myself some more targets and rewards I think as it definitely helps!

Mum that's brilliant! I've just weighed in 5lbs off this week 😀

Wow lovely dress! you look fab in it - good shape. You have nothing to lose and a lot to gain if you just follow these rules on the run up to the big day -
choose a small dinner plate and don't overload it;
Drink a glass of water before each meal;
never eat meat with potatoes, pasta or rice, meat with salad only;
Count how many times you chew each mouthful - aim at 30 times you will get so bored of eating and counting and it all goes to mush and puts you off;
Eat in bright light and I front of a mirror;
Study yourself naked in the mirror every day.
These tips work...if you can make the effort to do them

I've lost 4.5lbs and poss another couple will come off I have my last dress fitting in 2 hours

Argh after my hen I've put on 4 pounds!

Now I have 9 pounds to lose in 3 weeks. I think I'm going to have to starve myself

I'm a bridesmaid in 10 weeks with a holiday inbetween, would like to loose 7lb so my summer clothes fit right and I don't have to wear spanx under my frock.

Half a pack of choc digestives tonight not a good start...

I'm down to below pre pregnancy weight and had my second dress fitting and it's got to be taken in a lot again! I'm starting to be ok with what I see in the mirror.... wedding in 2weeks 😬😀🎉

Well done @tigger83 How have you done it? Love to get back to pre-pregnancy and not dreading looking in the mirror but feels impossible atm!

I have gone back to slimming world this week after 7weeks off. I had lost 1st 4 when I was last there, gained 3lb over summer holidays which isn’t too bad considering the volume of cake I have eaten.
Would like to lose another stone by Christmas ideally as will be looking for wedding dresses early next spring and have another 4stone to lose to get under a BMI of 25

I joined slimming world and I've lost 1 stone 4 so far, 1 stone 12 to go!

Weight watchers really works for me and lots of walking!!
