No it's because she lives in Bedford and I live near Manchester and we both work full time, have kids etc, the time just flies by so quickly. I wanted to go before christmas but my weight stopped me going, neither of us have ever been slim we were the same dress size for years, she lost a few stone and I've put a few on!

You should go see your sister though if yous are close...She will love you regardless, ive been everything from a size 8 to an 18 and my sis has been 18- 24 in the past five years and we dont think any different of each other... And then if youmdont see her for another 18 months you can do the wow reveal

Yeah I know what you mean and I'm sure he doesn't say nice things because I just tell him he's wrong anyway.... bless him, he puts up with a lot of emotions lol x

you should really go see her x
in my humble opinion that is ! life's too short xx

Aw, what a great thread

For me, it's getting back to feeling happy, healthy and confident, but more importantly me and hubby are currently ttc so I want to give our baby the best start xx

My only incentive this time is that I really want to lose weight!! 3 years ago I lost 4.5st with SW and my incentive was that I was going to Florida on holiday. Trouble was that once the holiday was over, I went back to my old ways.
This time I have no specific incentive, no holiday planned, no dress I want to get into, nothing. I just want to do it!!!

I have a wedding to go to in July with some uni friends I haven't seen for a couple of years. I was a size 20 and really unfit and unhealthy then, I'm currently a size 16 and 3stone lighter but I would like to be at least a comfortable size 14 for the wedding.
I then go to Egypt at end of September and I WILL be in a size 12 swimming costume (don't think I'll ever be in a bikini due to stretch marks)

I definatley have to have something to keep me going for me at the mo its the fact ive signed myself up for a 5k fun run in sept so need to get some pounds off and get fit x

I'm getting married on 12/04/14.. Loads of time to lose but want to tone up too! I had wanted another 2 stone off but now I'm thinking 3 taking me down to 10 stone which will be lightest ever by a long way in my adult years!

Me and my OH are planning on getting engaged this year and I want to look fab in the pictures!

My currant incentive is to minimize my pregnancy gain and enjoy my baby when its born instead of being depressed about my weight gain x

I just remember how crap i feel when im bigger (also thrown out my big jeans)

im also going to go against the grain here and say one thing that keeps me on track is knowing i can go crazy when i want at times like Christmas, Ive worked hard to loose weight but i got bigger because i love my food... its nice knowing i can go to a party without feeling guilty.. dont get ne wrong im often good when others are being naughty so will have curry while they have pizza and i dont mind that but its good to know that "naughty food" isnt completely off bounds as i can have a day off plan and then get back onto an amazing plan where i can eat lots of yummy sw friendly foid.

I definitely need something to aim towards!! If I don't I always find it harder to stick to! I graduate in July and it has been a long four years (masters degree) and I want to enjoy it!! All my uni friends are thin and beautiful so I don't want to be embarrassed beside them.

I didn't initially have anything to motivate myself other than wanting to get back to a size 10 but, on New Years Eve, my OH agreed that we can start trying for a baby once I've got to target and generally live a healthier lifestyle

Hi all
I have a pretty good incentive that my lovely bf is going to treat me to a holiday to USA if I get to my goal AND complete a mini triathlon!! That's a new target but I hope I can do it. I know I can loose but I do well for a while then get complacent and end up back at square one.. been there too many times.

We can do it!!!

Nettie you shouldn't be so hard on yourself
