every year we have a big party for Halloween, and now it's only 8 weeks way I really don't want to be the same size I was last year :(
I am wondering if anyone had any tips or would give me a bit of support, it's easier to lose weight together :)

    Have a good scale, weigh all your foods, log every day and have a calorie deficit. if you exercise, then weight training should be involved at least half the time.

    You didn't leave yourself much time. Usually, you wont see a size change for 10-15 pounds depending on where the weight comes off and since you don't get to chose, that might not even happen.

    I am nearing week 8 and while I lost 11 pounds so far, I still wear the same sized clothes. You didn't give yourself enough time. You can start now and be looking good for New Years though! :-)

    Don't let anyone saying you haven't left yourself enough time put you off starting now though!

    You could lose around 8lbs in that time, and although you may not physically look that much different, knowing you lost 8lbs can give you a massive boost in confidence anyway (It certainly does for me)

    Start now, and you'll still feel a hell of a lot better on Halloween than if you don't start at all

    Good Luck (:
