I have a wedding to attend this summer and I'm struggling to loose weight. I lost half a stone a couple of months back and then hit a bit of a stall, got fed up and slipped back to old ways!
Anybody want to join me in loosing some weight? It's baby weight if I'm honest, but D's is a toddler now. I have about a stone and a half to lose.
I'm determined to do it this time, and I hope logging on here will help keep me on track!
I'm 10 and a half stone but nine stone is my target as I'm 5 ft 3.

Congratulations on your up coming wedding @MrsCaptainJakeBallard
I'm sure you will get to the weight you'd like to be by August. I start off well but it's so hard to keep motivated. How are planning on doing it?

I'm getting really frustrated because I'm not losing much, like half a pound a week not much. I'm trying to hard I'm at the point I think I'm trying too hard. I've been exercising lots too & I can't understand where I'm going wrong. I've started taking pictures every week to see if I can see any changes when I'm not seeing them on the scales!

It's been about 4 weeks and I've lost a pound and a half!

How are you doing?

Half a pound a week doesn't sound much, but it all adds up, it's frustrating though isn't it? I started at 11 and got down to 10 stone 4, then it just stalled and I've kinda given up since! It's so hard to keep at it when the scales aren't moving!
So I've decided I'm getting back to it tomorrow! Smile

Plus if you look online at what a pound if fat looks like, a pound of fat looks such alot, so half a pound is still a really good amount! Keep at it, sounds like your doing great! Smile

How did you manage over the weekend?
I have 1.5 off this week so managed to make up from the disappointment of last week!
I can't get my head around it though as I had a cake tasting on Saturday and ate a lot of cake Blush might catch up with me next week.

I did ok, but did go over my calorie allowance yesterday, but going to try to get under my calorie allowance one day this week.. balance it out abit Grin, I'm going to weigh myself next Friday, and hope that I've lost!
That's great well done! I'm glad you've had a loss! So strange how it can be like that, sometimes I have a week where I'm absolutely certain I can't have lost anything and I have, and other weeks I stick to it, and nothing off at all! When will you weigh yourself next?
