Hello everyone – hope you’re all having a good weekend.

I was wondering how many UK brides to be we have in the forums and whether any of you would like to have some kind of weekly weight-in to support each other?

My big day is not until 2014 but it gives me so much motivation to carry on!!

I live in Leeds and have about 28lbs to lose – eeek!! At the moment I’m trying to cut down complex carbs, cook a lot more from scratch and exercise 3-5 times a week.

What’s your story?

    Hey, thanks!!

    No - I'm not cutting them out completely but trying to make wiser choices so fruit instead of buttered toast for breakfast, wholemeal pasta instead of white rice etc. I just need to keep it up and stop being a couch potato ;)

    I'm a bride to be...just 4 months time I'll be getting hitched in Turks & Caicos! I'm desperate to lose a few pounds before then, as at 5 foot nothing it's hard to look slim in a long dress, and heels aren't an option on the beach :tongue:

    Would love some friends on here to help each other keep motivated. When's your big day?
