Omg everyone well done and congrats on all the hard work. I don't like posting before pictures that included pregnancy but it was the size I was at the time ( just take away the twin bump ) I've lost 65lbs so far, and wanting another 15-20lbs off. My profile picture is my current weight/size. I have 4 children, my last are…

Hi Natalie. Sorry to hear about your recent diagnosis. But I am glad to hear you're taking this seriously, unfortunately my grandmother passed away at just 54 because of untreated type 2 diabetes... Because she didn't FEEL poorly, she made the mistake of carrying in her lifestyle, until kidney failure took over! I do know…

May/June 2012... Seriously need to update

Not a bride this year, I'm Getting married 2016. But I'm bridesmaid for my friends wedding in July 2015. I started losing weight before she even asked me, so I'm certain I'm not losing weight for a particular event- I'd just had enough! I started on 25th April 2014 at 236lbs... I'm now 185lb :-) I have 30-35lbs to go until…

^ this. I wore baggy and black a lot. I think people outside of family started noticing after about 25-30lbs. I noticed myself after 15lbs and family noticed around 20lbs.

Interesting topic. I still see myself as a bigger person. I can't quite believe I've lost nearly 50lbs...even writing it, it doesn't sound right. Maybe I was too big for too long :/

Great! Well done :-)

Gender- Female - Age - 27 - Height- 5ft 8.5inches - Starting weight- 236lbs - Current weight- 190lbs - Goal weight- 150lbs - Reason for losing weight? - I want to be thinner, healthier and I'm getting married in 22 months, I really didn't want to be a fat bride.

I did atkins for around 4 weeks to kick start my weightloss. I lost 7lb on induction and 1-3lb a week following. I felt normal but couldn't keep eating all that grease! So now I'm on modified atkins, I just grill/foreman my meat and poach/scramble my eggs. It's a bit like a diet a Dr would give you as a diabetic. It's…

I can understand ( although not speak very well ) several languages. :-)

I weigh every 1-3 days but only take the reading as gospel on a Fridays and note it down in my diary. I really shouldn't but I'm so curious. But I know I can fluctuate by 1-2lbs anyway... So officially weigh fridays

My maintenance plan is this - Monday-Friday I eat around 1900 calories, on a Saturday I'm going to eat 2200 calories and a Sunday around the same. Probably just allow myself a drink once a month, a meal out and a pudding after my Sunday dinner :-)

My friend asked me to be her bridesmaid next year. I AM NOT being that bridesmaid that everyone feels sorry for or laughs at because she's the biggest girl there! No way. Also, it's my own wedding August 2016. I'm down 14lbs but down 11lbs since starting low carb/no sugar.in saying that, I have no intention of putting…

Hi guys! I'm bridesmaid for my friend in 13 months ( July 2015 ) my own wedding is 2016. But I started to lose weight because I didn't want to be THAT bridesmaid. You know the one, the unhappy-fake grin stood next to the skinny bridesmaids. Standing behind everyone else so you don't photograph her curvy bits. I don't want…

Wow, well done! You look so happy :-)

I'm feeding twins- one all the time, the other about 50% of feeds- I've only managed to lose 7lbs in nearly 3 weeks. I've not lost anything in nearly a week!

I'm 5ft 8 SW 235 CW 228 GW 160-165 I'm eating around 1850. I'm breastfeeding so I need the extra 500cals for that :)

Hi!! First step is to admit you're not happy, overweight and need to do something about it. Second step is to actually do something about it :). I need to lose 70-80lb ( my goal ) I'm weighing in at 231 as of a few days ago. I'm eating 2000cals a day ( 1500 for me, 500 breastfeeding ) I've stopped trying to " get thin for…

27, 5ft 8 SW 235 CW 231 GW 160 On maternity leave until November, I have 13 week old twins, and 2 older girls. Been with partner 10 years and looking to get married 2016 :)

Non in a 5 mile radius thankfully. But sometimes I order double sausage and egg mcmuffin with mocha. Or regular Big Mac and diet coke for lunch . I've steered clear these last few weeks, too many calories and I can eat them until the cows come home!

Hi everyone, 75-80lb loss needed here! I'm setting a date for my wedding before Christmas and want to lose some weight before then, rather than lose it once I've announced it, and people think it's only got the wedding! My BF is getting married next year and I'm a bridesmaid eeeek!!! I'm currently a uk 16 ( US size 20 )…

Hi, I'm new to the board. I'm finally setting a date with my partner- been together 10 years! ( I'm 27) I really don't want to be a fat bride :( I'm hoping to shed about 80lbs ( 4-5 stone ) before Christmas. I've already lost 4lbs since Thursday. My friend has asked me to be her bridesmaid next year too :/ I find dieting…
