I have my first wedding dress fitting this Saturday. 3 1/2 stone to lose and the wedding in June. Very motivated and as long as I feel great on the day I'm not fussed about hitting weight loss before them as it's too steep a number. One pound at a time

Ah the age old biscuit or cake argument. Jaffa cake anyone?

Hello all. What a lovely friendly welcome! I am doing new generation Atkins 20. I am eating more venetables and salad than I did before. My father was lecturing me about the dangers of leading an Atkins lifestyle and how it was so unhealthy whilst he sat there tucking into his fifth biscuit. I just smiled! I am feeling…

Ah the domino effect. It's what makes me fall off a diet every single time. I still love it tho.

Getting body gorgeous for my wedding too. Add me x x

Hey, I'm 5ft 5, medium framed. My ultimate goal is 133 however I have been at around 158 before and couldn't imagine loosing another 25lbs on top of that without looking ill so I am planning on seeing how I feel once I am down in those small numbers ☺☺ 59lbs to go. C x

You are all very correct. I am taking too short a view and it is driving me crazy. I will keep on with what I am doing and look at a more long term view. I guess as long as I am down from 13 10 this time next month I will be going in the right direction. It's just hard sometimes when your motivation is based on the results…

The 10,000 is a new step goal. I have been considerably over that some days like yesterday it was 16500 and Sunday it was almost 18000. My period has come and gone, I was hoping that was the reason I stayed at 13 10 for a fortnight and the recently drop at the beginning of this week I assumed was from my period finishing…

Another follow on question. I have been using happy scale for four weeks now. Two of those weeks it stayed static at 13 10 then it dipped down to 13 9 then 13 8 then went back up to 13 10. Is there any way I am at maintenance? I eat what fitnesspal tells me to eat 1440. However I sit all day for work. Is there any chance…

Thanks for your feedback folks. I shall keep at it. I guess I am not overly confident at the moment with it all.

I don't know if it's an option where you live but these days I get my shopping delivered. Makes a massive difference to what i buy and I make sure I only place my order when I am in well behaved diet mode. If I went near the grocery store I dont tend to get past the bakery section. Just a thought. C x

My new jawbone up2 arrived on Saturday 1st April so perfect timing to start that. Steps so far this month 01/04 13444 02/04 17135 ☺

I have 60lbs to lose. It would be amazing if I could achieve that by my wedding next year. Let's try to keep each other motivated!

Morning. I have in the last year regained the four stone I had lost but originally when I lost all the weight I went through exactly what you are going through in terms of not seeing yourself differently. It took me a long time and intervention by my mother to stop buying clothes that were sizes too big for me as it was so…

Morning ladies. I'm back too after regaining the four stone I had lost. First wedding dress fitting in August so that's my motivation this time. Would love some motivated friends to keep us all on track. C x

Thanks everybody. It's nice hearing that it happens and there is a way back. I need to get back on the band wagon. I was counting calories on the Atkins too but it just didn't work for me. So I am going to count calories and try to get back into running although at 5 stone over where i need to be it's not easy at the…

I was doing really well the year before last but I lived on my own as I was single, I spent the weekends out walking, I got myself a treadmill and ate at 1400 calories every day. It almost was enjoyable as I had something to focus on. I took 4 stone off. Then I met my husband to be that December. We would go out for dinner…

Excellent, welcome!! Smaller Christmas jumper here I come!

Yes post your 5% target here and we can keep track on the run up to Christmas.

Thank you, right now it's damage control for Christmas, getting myself into the right mindset. Seems to be going well so far

I have 28 pounds to lose, that I gained back after losing it all last year. I'll plod away at it but it was looking back at last years stats that surprised me, some weeks it was 1lb some weeks it was 6lbs so was just wondering if everyone else found it a bit up and down.

Thank you for cleaning that up for me ☺️ x

You guys are all doing amazing. It's def kept me going seeing all the fantastic progress and all the wonderful support in this group x

I had this exact same thing happen to me. My last run was a disaster and left me feeling flat but today I totally killed it. A whole 5k and at a 6% incline too. Don't let the bad run take away all the amazing progress you have made to date x

Week seven day three done. Only one more week on the zen labs programme. Last week here I come!!!

Thanks ssasssy. I really need that xx

Week 7 day 2 done today. Really struggled. A lot. Had to stop several times. So thinking I need to repeat on Monday. Feel a wee bit deflated.

Seconded!
