Keep thinking about the dress!!

I'm also having a bit of a will power crisis at the moment... it doesn't help that h2b keeps bringing cakes and sweeties home from the supermarket LoL! I just keep trying to remind myself that the dress is ordered and I need to still fit in it in 4 months time!

btw.... we're 22nd Sept 2012 as well

There are a few of us on the 22nd now if you want to come over to the Sept 2012 thread.

With the nice weather try things like stir frys as they are super quick and really healthy. I also find that slimming world do some lovely recipes of dishes that feel a lot naughtier than they are. Try getting h2b involved as it is a lot easier if there are two of you working at it

I am struggling with the exercise but I have to get back at it. I didn't realise that 1/2 stone would make that much of a difference. I have put on the same amount since my dress fitting and I am the same height Thanks for giving me a little nudge in the right direction.

Lets all try and keep each other motivated and we will all be looking lovely on our wedding day. Not long now!

April 2012 Bride

Don't panic, it can be done!! I've lost 4pounds this week on phase 1 of the south beach diet which I tend to use as a kick start for my usual dieting process where I concentrate more on healthy eating and exercise than what you would think of as 'dieting'. It's extreme, I won't lie to you, cos it cuts out a lot of carbs and most sugars (like no fruit for 2 weeks cos its full of fructose) but it really does work. Plus chances are if you've put it on in a short space of time it'll mostly be water so it shouldn't take TOO long to lose

I'm also a Sept 22nd Bride and am also struggling witrh weight. I had lost almost five stone but then i fell in love and got complacent and put it all on and now it wont shift. My dress was brought a year ago and fits perfectly but as this is my second wedding i didnt want to be a fat bride second time round. I know i wont be able to get all he weight off but i would love to loose a couple of stone. Exercise I am ok with but could do more but eating - i seem to be in a trap of eating bad stuff all over again and have stopped going to weightwatchers and just cant seem to get back into the right frame of mind. it is incredibly hard but we just have to keep going ladies and try as hard as we can. the stupid thing is i know exactly what i should be doing but i just dont feel able to.

Weight watchers, go to you nearest class. Im getting married on the 15th sept and have lost 21 lbs of you stick to it its easy, my h2b has lost 42 lbs in the same time

Thanks for the hints and tips ladies - had my first fitting and thankfully the dress came down over my hips but not much room for my five course meal - oops! Now stocking up on celery, carrots, low fat humous and porridge.

Come on ladies, we can do it. If we do have a few slip ups just remember, no matter the weight, our fellas will be in awe of us as we walk towards them - the woman they want to spend the rest of their lives with xxx
