in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! I thought I'd introduce myself since everyone seems so nice! I'm in fairly decent shape, but always find it so hard to lose the last 10 lbs. Now I'm getting married in 10 weeks, and it seems totally appropriate to try to lose 1 lb a week until then! I have been on here for 2 days now and am already more aware of my snacking and going out and how it effects my weight loss goal. I'll need support to not indulge in those after work beers! Thanks for listening.

    Hi Your case sounds exactly like mine! I am getting married in 7 weeks and am trying to shift the last 7 lbs but it just won't budge. I'm going to try to increase my calories by 200 every other 2 days and then drop back down the other days. After speaking to someone at work today (who lost 4 stone and is also a science teacher so she knows the how it works) I'm also gonna try to eat all my carbs during the day and just eat protein at night with salad or veg. She said your body doesn't burn off many carbs at night and it goes straight to the fat reserve if no carbs to burn. She gave me a quote that I thought was quite good:

    "Breakfast like a King, lunch like a Queen and dine like a Pauper"

    I'm hoping if I take her advice it might kick start things again. She also said to start exercising which if I'm honest I've done barely any so may need to jump on board with that! Boooooo. Anyway, Good luck! :)
