July 2010 ladies!! losing weight??

hey everyone!! just thought id start a wee thing as im on the lighterlife diet (second time) and needing support!! Im finding it harder this time round so thought it was a good idea if anyone else is losing weight to have a kinda support group thing. So far ive been on the diet 3wks and ive lost 10 and a half lbs....im not sure what my start weight was as i dont have my weigh in book on me but i'll post that later. At the moment im a size 20 and want to get down to at least a 14. Last time i was on the diet i lost 4 stone in 4mths so i know i can do it!! My weigh in days are wednesdays so i'll post after my meetings what my weight loss is.
Lots of love and much needed support!!! xx

Hi, I am also getting married in July. I am currently a size 18 and my dress has been made for me in a size 12/14. Need to get down to that size so preferably 3 to 3 and a half stone in 10 as my dress fitting is at the end of May. Tried Weight Watchers but the leader was grumpy and no encouragement. I am off to slimming world tonight where I am going to change my habits becasue I have to now. My weigh days are Monday so I will post on here how I go. xxx

im dieting ladies can i join you, i wanna lose as much weight as poss!

I did slimming world and lost a stone and a half in 6 months. Put about 6lbs on over xmas though so want to lose that before July. Need to get my arse into gear big style! x

Can I join in the dieting please? I'm getting married 24 July but I've recently had a knee operation so can't exercise yet (still can't even walk properly!) Due to this I've actually been GAINING weight in the last couple of weeks instead of losing it!!

Got my next dress fitting 1 May and I REALLY want to have lost at least a stone by then. Been trying to do the Special K diet for the last couple of days - anyone else tried this at all?

Well ladies went to slimming world last night. Never tried it before but looking very positive. Team leader is brilliant and really encouraging. Got weighed and I am ..... 16 stone 7 lbs.

Got a lot to lose. Set an overall target of 12 stone. The closer I get to that the happier I am. H2B brought home a diary for me to record my progress. Joined gym last night so will try to go as often as I can but in the middle of organising the wedding, buying a house and visiting my grandfather in hospital. Not using them as excuses though but I have to be careful how much exercise I do as I broke my ankle before Christmas and I already have a screw in my foot.

I will try and post as much as I can and I am sure I will need encouragement come the weekend. xxx

hey ladies well im glad there are a few others that need the support!! i get weighed tomorrow so fingers crossed!! On the lighterlife diet you abstain from food and have 4 foodpacks a day so its incredibly hard. Ive done it beofre though so determined!! Wedding is on 24th July so not long to go!!

How is everyone feeling about the diet that they are on?? x

charlprincess....im glad that you feel better about your new club, you need to have a leader that encourages you or you wont bother eh? There is so much pressure on women these days to slim! grr!! xx

I'm losing too, started off last Jan as 15.3 and I'm now 12.9. My last fitting is 23/04/10 and I'm aiming for 11.7 - which will be a good weight for me (5'7 but seemingly made out of lead!). Have tried every diet under the sun (cambridge, atkins, ww etc) but I'm now GI which combines the best of everything! I really struggle to lose weight and have spent far too much of my life beating myself up over not being able to be a size 10!

How's everyone's exercise? I love the gym and go 4/5 times a week as I really need to include lots of exercise to see any weight loss. Feel so much better to go from obese to just plain old overweight!

well done Seaside Belle.....youve done brilliantly!! Im ashamed to admit i dont exercise lol....im a stay at home mum with a 2yr old son and a 15wk old daughter so chasing after them is enough for me haha!! xx

Hi Ladies, I'd love to join in if i may!?

I appear to have hit a barrier and can't shift below it.
I have done SW etc in the past but am now trying to do it myself as i have also joined the gym,
Currently weigh 11st 1lb and want to be toned and weigh 10.7lbs... easier said than done!
Hopefully with a bit more effort i can actually get in to that 10st bracket at long last.

Forgot to add i get married on 10th July too but want to loose this by the end of April if possible to then be able to maintain til July.

So far today I have eaten:

Breakfast
1 bowl of Special K with skimmed milk

Lunch
1 jacket potato with beans (no butter or spread)
and then milk in my coffees and teas.

I'm now really hungry but I think part of this might be down to boredom (currently signed off sick and I can't exercise or go out the house by myself).

I'm drinking water to try and stop the hunger but has anyone got any other tips???

Hi Ladies

Can I join in too, i am getting married on 17th July!!

I have taken up boxing and so far it has really shifted some inches! i have dropped just over a dress size in about 8 weeks.

I have also been eating slightly healthier and not drinking so much

It really is such a good workout and it tones your arms without building too much muscle.

A good tip I saw on the telly once was to eat soup for lunch as it fills you up for longer and then you are less likely to want to snack in the afternoon. This also has been working for me :\)

Want to say well done to everyone here....there is so much pressure to be slim these days!!

We can do it girls!! i get weighed tonight so will let yous know what ive lost xx

Morning ladies, well I am still positive and determined. Writing everything down and I mean everything, even mints count on slimming world which I di not know. Off to the gym tonight for a good work out. I am armed in work with 2 bananas, 2 plums, an apple and grapes to snack on plus for lunch I am having chicken salad and a jacket potato (no butter). I'm not eating carbs at night when I come home after the workout, going to try and stick to a piece of fresh fish and vegetables xxx
