Hi all
I hold my hands up, I am a yoyo dieter and tried Slimming World, Weightwatchers and 5:2 fasting...but always revert back to SW!
I've hit goal both at SW and WW..but always seem to put it back on. Now i'm the heaviest i've been apart from when I was pregnant in 2012...putting on 3 and half stone!! I did manage to lose it all, but the pounds are slowly creeping on, so it stops now! My weight seems to average out at 9st 12lbs-10st...and this morning jumped on scales to see 11st!!!
I've got a major incentive, as i get married to the love of my life at the end of May next year...and looking to get under 9 and a half stone (realistically), but would love to get under 9st (wishful thinking) ready for my big day.
I do know Slimming world pretty well, so i'm guna try and do it on my own for now, as i really struggle to fit the meetings in.
I am going to try and keep a diary, so any suggestions and encouragement would be much appreciated!

Most things are sorted just need to actually pay for them now! You certainly have more willpower than me; there is no way I could stick to just one chunk of galaxy, I would be eating the entire thing!

Haha loads of people say that...I love love love chocolate. But when I'm totally focussed...I can quite easily just have a chunk.
Had a sneaky peek at scales and 2lbs and 1/4 off since Monday. I knew i'd lose a good chunk straught away, because before Monday I was eating ridiculous amounts of junk food! Feeling really determined now.
Plus my Sister has made a little messaging group for me, her and our other sister...so we've been sharing our food pics, scale pics on a morning and giving each other encouragement. Its like our own little slimming world meeting, its great. So that has really helped too! x

Aww thanks for subscribing! It is so exciting...and getting married is the biggest incentive ever! So I know I have to be so focussed, but I know they will be a few slip ups along the way. New York for 3 days in November, Xmas...and of course my 3 hen doos! I am a member of the gym, but havnt been for ages. Guna get back into it in the next few weeks, but wanted to lose half stone first, as i didnt want the gym reflecting on my weight loss.
You have done so well!! x

Wahooo, having an on plan week so far...and had a sneaky peek on scales this morning! 4lbs off since starting on Monday. I knew i'd get rid of a large chunk straight away, so hoping for a nice 1-2lb a week from now.
Just bought myself the rosemary Conley magic measure, which i'll do every saturday morning, because starting back at gym in the morning :whacky068: and I know some weeks I'll be losing inches (or cm's) rather than pounds! x
 
Well done on the massive loss, here's hoping it shows up on the official scales this week as well!
 
Right! Well I have been up and down with my weight for the past few months and finally received the shock that I needed...my wedding dress is ready to be picked up!!!! Aaarggghhhh!! Im so excited, but no way is it going to fit me!! I was extremely good all last week...even going to the cinema armed with a bottle of water and no treats whatsoever!! Someones birthday in the office today, so lots of chocolate cake flying about...nope not for me :angel09:

Anyway, I'm going to start posting my food diary on here to keep me on track. Im doing Extra Easy, but doing syn free Mon-Fri and having a treat on a weekend! I came across a girl on ********* who does this, and she is my thinspiration!! She has done this from day 1 in April 2013 and has lost 5 and a half stone, shes tiny now, infact a bit too thin for my liking, but good on the girl for doing so well!

Food diary to follow xxx
