Hi all,

Had a very early session at the gym this morning before work - and it was hard going today - I really struggled!And unfortunately this cold weather seems to be increasing my appetite!

hows everyone one doing?

Hi all!

Great to see so many responses and glad theres lots of brides to be out there!Hopefully we can give each other some encouragement towards our big days - I am guessing it can get quite stressful.

I found 'THE DRESS' at the weekend. Now just need to get 'THE BODY' to fit it it!

Keep in touch! 

Hi all,

Looks like its been a bit quiet on here lately.

I had a great hol - my boyf of 11years proposed! So now I really need to get cracking on the weight loss as I have to get into a wedding dress - eck!

Hope you're all ok.

Hi all - hope you're all doing well.

Have had two sessions at the gym over the last couple of days - the count down to holiday has begun :-)

Hello Dreamer!

It definitely helps having people to talk/ confess to - it helps me - even though the weight is coming off really slowly for me.

Didnt manage the pool today so am determined not to eat anything bad today. Am keeping away from the goodies table at work (currently has shortbread, toffees and chocolates on it). I must resist!!

Have a good day all.

Hi guys,

Hurt my back in the gym just over a week ago and hadn't been able to do a thing until this morning. was so annoyed becuase the weight was finally starting to move and then havent been able to do anything to shift some more
:-(

Started back the the pool with the gentle swim this morning - feels very pathetic compared to the gym!

Had my session with my trainer this morning and have pull something in my back! Damn :-( really hurts and just knwo that means a few days off gym.

Hope you're having better success today than me!

Thanks LadyEliz.

Am back for anther gym session, my trainer has assured me it'll be hard - oh joy! Can't stop know though. Four week til holiday and am determined to lose more if I can.
Am enjoying a 'rest' day today though :-)

Hurray - had my weigh in at the club - 4lbs lost  in two weeks - that is my best ever!

That must work as an incentive to keep me away from cake and beer!
CW - 190

Hi everyone.

Dragonfly - your stats are really similar to mine :-)

Hope everyone has a good week. I went for a really hard swim this morning and felt good for it. Am hoping it pays off on my weigh-in later!

Canuck - don't do it!!!

It won't taste as good as you imagine - always a dissapointment. You'll be more proud of yourself for resisting. I nearly got tempted by an amazing looking carrot cake yesterday - and was really proud with myself for saying 'no'!

Hi, am definitely in for this one -

Age:28

Starting Weight: 198

Current Weight: 191

Goal Weight: 150

Biggest Motivating Factor(s): To see myself looking good in clothes and not to feel like the 'fat girl' when out with my friends!

Biggest struggle(s): Food! I am a really foodie, and portion control is my hardest discipline. Oh, and wine.

Miscellaneous Weight Loss Tips: Am currently combining weights (resistance) with cardio. Also trying the 'run' for a few minutes at a time on the treadmill - and finding it hard!

Hi all,

Am working extra hard this week - got a holiday in four weeks and need a good blitz before I go. Last week dropped three pounds, but dont think I'll manage the same this week!

Hi all,

Hope you're ok. Was so excited on Friday - a 3lbs loss from the week beofre - this is the most i've ever managed to lose in one go - whoop whoop!

Four week til hols - am determined to continue the hard work. Another seesion with the trainer this morning - including fairly humiliating 'bunny hops' - embarrassing but she assures me it's worth it.

Canuck - bet you can wait for your hols!

LadyE - hope you're feeling better now :-)

Hi all,
