Hi Missies,

Got engaged just before Christmas and we booked the wedding venue last week now the day after we booked it something just hit me and i kinda had a mini meltdown thinking of all those photos of me at our wedding and i know i would hate myself in years to come if i didnt try and lose some weight before the big day....so wer getting married in March 2012 and i am 13 stone 8 pounds now i would like to lose 3 stone but i just DO NOT have the will power. i think i have joined weight watchers 550 times over the past few years and i am fine for a week or 2 then im back to my old way. my main down fall is a big dinner i just love love my dinner plus i have a sweet tooth but have substituted choc for weight watchers digestive biscuits they are quite nice. Im just so worried i wont lose the weight as i dunno how many times i hav tried. I go hell bent on walking for a few days then dont go again for 2 months its just i cant stick at anything. I dunno what to do well i do i need to get my lazy ass off the sofa and start pounding those roads.
Im kinda slightly embarressed to go wedding dress shopping at the moment as i look like a whale!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sorry for my Rant just need to get it off my chest!!!!

xxxxxxx

I think theres a huge amount of us in the same boat. I don't go by weight but I know I feel horrible and wobbly. Yet won't get of my ass and do anything long term. Like you i'm great for a week or two then its back to all the bad habits. But I have managed to loose 10 and 1/2 inches since feb by using bailine. Its like jumbo slendertone- pads are placed all over your body and the muscles are stimulated. Now i've tried slendertone and got nowhere but bailine is miles better. Its a bit on the expensive side but as my h2b agrees its motivating me, i don't know if its cause i've paid for it and will attend for value, or if its because i've seen some results by lying on a bed for 40 mins twice a week.
Not for everyone but it seems to be working for me.

I feel your pain pollyg im the very same!! except my wedding is six months away!! i am now 13 stone 6 after losing a stone since Jan. But since i bought my dress ive hit a brick wall. i was at a wedding at the weekend and the bride was stunnin an i really couldnt stand myself in the pics so i have to do somethin, i was goin so well but need a kick up my fat ass at the moment!! its so hard! plus im a total comfort eater so when i seen myself lookin shit i just ate!! so i totally feel your pain!!

pollyg, you are just like me. My start weight was 14 stone 5 years ago when i came home from oz. I would go to ww for a month lose 5 or 6 pounds then lose interest. Now it wasnt that I was happy with my size in fact i was really depressed and miserable.

Last year i got engaged and at 13 st 5 i thought no way am i going to do this to myself. I had tried every DIET under the rising sun and nothing worked, i even tried hypnotherapy. So last year i heard about a girl who is a personal trainer, u go 2 times a week and she gives u a diet sheet. In 2 months i lost 17pound and at no stage was hungry. I am down to 11st 10 now and have plateaued cause i stopped going to her. but i know that i will start again. i really found the fact i was being weighed once a week and given out too if i hadnt lost the required amount a help.

U can do it and so can i. have another stone to go and am determined to walk up that aisle looking good!!!

best of luck xx

Hey there sept11b2b your wedding is the day before me!! are you all set? was the personal trainer thing expensive??

[sept11b2b]

so it is i just saw that. How excitinig its 6 months tomorrow and thur for us so!!!!! when i thought personal trainer i thought no way too expensive but it was 25 euro per hour twice a week. I used to give weight watchers a tenner a week for years so thought for the sake of a month its worth it.

I think its to find someone sound is the key. she really wanted to help. I have gone down hill since christmas but havent put on any weight so have started again and am determined!! its a low gi diet i could even have steak for din dins;o))))

Have a good bit done, how about u. did u get ur dress. i dreaded it but wasnt too bad. they tied me into most dresses. sizes of dresses in shops are crazy. size 12 at biggest!! xx

[Now a wife]

Yeah they got me into a size twelve i think they broke some ribs and stopped my breathing but it was bareable!! it didnt look horrendous either so hopefully when it comes in my size it will look even better!! i only got my dress last month so hopin it will be ready in time!!

[sept11b2b]

congrats!!!! and like me the ribs will get better and the bruising goes down )))) u will be fab. i only got mine last month too. think about the personal trainer thing, having tried loads of diets and being so down hearted its the only thing that help shift the weight xxxx

[pollyi2b]

Thanks for the replies ladies so today im 13stone 8 im gonna kick my ass this week and will weigh in here again this day next week im determined i can do it, i just need to believe i can. All this wedding stuff is soooo exciting but soooo nerve wrecking............... i suppose all B2B wanna look fab on wedding day but i just feel right now im letting myself down like if one more person says ah u have a year to lose the weight when i never evene mentioned weight i wanna cry do they not think i can get married if im fat!!!

[Aingeal Ban]

Lots of us feel the same way, I want to lose about 2-3 stone too but my H2B says he'll marry me whatever shape I am, if I am naked and my hair sticking out of my head - that's love and I am sure all our H2B feel the same way!!! But of course, we all want to be fabulous on the day and I think once you get it into your head to do it, it's easier, it's just getting to that stage....! Good Luck everyone!

[ms-to-mrs]

Hi girls, its so good to know i'm not the only one feeling like this. I need to loose 2 stone and i keep putting it off. We're engaged five months now and I haven't lost a pound. I could have at least half a stone lost by now. My H2B even bought me a treadmill a few weeks ago cos he knows how much i want to loose the weight but i haven't even put a foot on it yet. I don't know what to do with myself. I need a good kick up the backside. I thought getting engaged would be the motivation I needed to finally make a go at loosing the weight but it hasn't .

I look at pics of myself now and I dont want to look like this in my wedding photos. I just cant seem to get going. whats wrong with me.

Girls this post will go on forever a dont think there is 1 missie that isnt happy with her weight and if there is she better not post on here
The only think that i keep in mind is these pictures will follow you for life!!!! They will be shown to everybody kids grankids, theyll prob be put up in your homes. Do you really wanna look back and say to your self i should of tried a bit more. That whas seems to be workin for me. Plus our wedding is abroad, and my guests seenin me in a swim suit sends a cold shiver down my spine
I lost 1 stone and 2 pounds since Jan. Tore a muscle in my knee so not doin as mush obviously but once that heals ill be back on track
Best of luck to ya hun when is your wedding??

[MrsStokes2b]

i went to Curves there last year,, was there 3-5 times a week for 6 weeks.. (joined when they had a 6wk special offer) i absolutly loved it, but then started coll and got lazy in the evenings. id love to go again, but at the mo i can afford it.. im like you, i have absolutly NO willpower!!!!! and im dreading wedding dress shopping!! Thats why ive been looking online,, cause ill be soo embaressing going into a shop and they not having anything that will fit,,, so make matters worse,, my bm's are all skinny!!!

[MrsStokes2b]

if one more person says ah u have a year to lose the weight when i never evene mentioned weight i wanna cry do they not think i can get married if im fat!!!

I know how that feels... since we got engaged, everyone keeps saying- You'll have to start walking now and get nice and slim for your wedding!! ARGH!!! I hate that!!! My h2b says he loves me the way i am, and that he doesnt want me to get skinny or anything (he likes big girls! ) Only for him i think id crack!! But still,,, i do wan to look great in my pics!!!

[pollyi2b]

@MrsStokes2Be - i hear ya about the wedding dress shopping online iv been at that too but would really love to go to the dress shops and i am gonna go but il cringe looking at myself. My bridesmaids are brill but they are skinny minnies too and look fab in a black sack and they are sooo my best advisors they have always been honest with me and i trust them 100% but they just dont understand how im feeling about looking huge in the dresses all i see is my fat arms.....eeeekkkkkk!
