Well done on the brilliant results! And congratulations on your recent wedding. Do you know how many pounds you have lost? Big up to you for all your hard work over the last few months, an inspiration to me with over 50 ponds to lose.

@Kerry211168, the best things I've learned during my weight loss journey is not to deprive yourself of anything. Eat everything you like, but in moderation. In order for this to work forever, as a life style change and not just a diet, it has to be something you can manage. If you want something sweet, try low calorie versions of the things you like. I'm not sure where you are from. But we have 100 calorie snack packs that are delicious. Allow yourself one a night, something to look forward to. It will stop you from craving sweets. If you want pasta or rice, eat the correct serving size. Measure and weigh everything. A lot of places to eat here have low calorie menus so eating out is still possible, and a nice treat. Calculate you're bmr to see how many calories you burn just by being awake. If your bmr is 1800 then you'd need to 1300 to lose a pound a day. So you create a deficit of 500 calories a day to lose one pound a week. And try burning 500 calories a day working out to lose another pound a week. Start slow and don't starve yourself. It's hard to stick to dieting when you are constantly hungry. I wish you lots of luck!
