    I've got around 3 stone to lose in total, but I've left it to the last minute as I get hitched in 3 months! Just gonna see how far I get. Nearly lost my motivation today then looked at a wedding dress picture & helped me stay on track! My issue is forgetting to eat! What's yours?

    I'm getting married in July and have 1 stone to loose.
    The kids are on their school holidays this week so have no motivation to exercise, but come next week I shall be doing the 30 shred every day, well that's what I'm telling myself anyway.
    I just picked up my wedding dress on Monday and have until the 20th of may when I'm due my fitting.

    It's so lovely to have a community of brides and friends going through it all together!!

    I'm a chronic meal skipper and generally don't eat much so I'm battling my metabolism, get hitched in 3 months, I ended up having my dress made as was far too scared to go into a normal dress shop an try anything on as didn't think it would fit. I'm UK size 24 at the moment and weigh about 23 stone so I've left my battle right to the last minute but I'm after a lifestyle change, I love body combat by Les mills, if you don't know what it is seriously Google it is fab!

    Would love to hear people's stories. I've cut carbs but crave pasta most of the time :-)

    I used to suffer from massive depression. I moved a lot as i went to college and eventually uni. I ate horrible my first year of school and gained i think total 50lbs. on a petite 5'4 frame it was very evident. the weight gain did nothing to help my depression.
    In 2013 I got serious about weight loss. I went from 178 ( actually higher than that, just didnt have a scale at the start to 141 lbs. Did a bulk to help with some saggy skin and am currently cutting . sitting at 154 lbs today, goal is 135-140.
    I have a hormonal imbalance (my testosterone is very high for a female), so i find it very difficult to shed weight.

    I haven't eliminated anything from my diet. I am a firm believer in cico (calories in vs calories out) and dont restrict anything if i want it i make it fit in my calories. i tried eliminating stuff in the past and it just dosnt do me good. I dont consume dairy however, as i am lactose intolerant.
