Back on the slimming world wagon....again

Hi just a quick hello to everyone, I've faffed about for a almost a year, (since our wedding last June to be precise after I lost 1.5 stones to get into my dress). I found out yesterday that its my daughters graduation on Sept 4th and as I'm now only 6lbs off the heaviest I have ever been, I've decided to bite the bullet and lose AT LEAST 2 stone before her big day. She is gorgeous and a size8 ( the same size I was at her age ) and as I'm a size20 now (although my clothes are a very tight size18 :cry: ) I am determined to drop at least a couple of dress sizes, as i don't want to be a fat mamma on her day and embarrass her on her big day and i want to feel good about myself again.

I cant exercise very much as I have jhms which affects my joints and leaves me very fatigued, so its gonna be strict(ish) slimming world all the way!!!

I hope i can support you and you will support me in our journeys!

thanks for listening to me whittering on, looking forward to getting to know you all


Hugs

Hiya Jacklyn

I'm re-starting again today! Don't have weighing scales at home so have no idea what damage i've done since stopping going to group in March (where i'd lost nearly 1.5 stone - rolls eyes! Life got in the way, hubby had some ill health probs and i couldnt make group . As things are getting back on track here, I've decided to get my derriere back there sharpish tonight!!

SIL is getting married at the end of July and my daughter is a bridesmaid.....i REALLY want to feel comfortable in a dress .....

And witter away, I've a bad case of the verbals too!

Good Luck - YOU can do this xxx

Oh and please ignore current weight....that's from the beginning of March = i've no idea what it will be tonight :/ xx

I only know mine cos I went to boots to get weighed....had a bad case of serial weighing so threw the scales out lol.

Sounds like excellent motivation, have you got your dress yet?

Ha ha thanks, snap - i'm the same as you, i haven't been in to town so have avoided Boots lol! Are you doing it at home or going to a group?

I take the payments or do the weighing usually for my cons, so i cannot wait to go back for the social aspect. And i do love the plan really! (just also love wine, cheese, sweets and pizza!)

Nope i've not bought the dress...have been looking (and dreaming) daughters dress is canary yellow, so i'm thinking floral with a hint of yellow so we don't clash ha ha! xx

doing it from home so need all the support i can get lol, not always easy for me to get out so don't want to commit to a class and let others down! your ideas for a dress sounds lovely, and i think you're doing the right thing by not getting it too soon.... i made that mistake with my wedding dress and the stress was horrible....only just managed to get into it lol oopss!!!

Well at least you got into it ha ha! Good Luck!!!! xxx

Will check in on you...x

Arghhhh totally off plan and now only 5lbs off my heaviest gutted cos I'm sick if being this way I was flirty @30, frumpy @40 and want to be fit @50 got 2.5 years to lose 5 stone need to sort out my health issues then focus on my health plan

Good for you I decided today that I'm getting my butt back on that wagon too! Totally understand when you say you want to look your best on her big day, my son is 7 months old so will be looking at nurseries in 2 years time and I refuse to be the fat mum at the school gates! Wishing you lots of luck

Hi ladies, can I join you. I've gained around 2 stone since having my son 17 months ago. I think I've had a bit of PND and being a stay at home mum hasn't helped. I've tried and failed so many times but I'm rejoining group tomorrow and I really want to do it

Hi Mrs H, I'm exactly the same! My problem is that I'm forever busy and as a result "eat when I can" which is usually snacks! Now that my baby is eating too its a great chance for me to prepare proper healthy meals for both of us rather than just quick c**p for me! I go back to work part time next month so need to do something before I have all that to fit in as well...hopefully that'll give me a bit of my identity back though as know what you mean about a little pnd :-( not sure how this website works yet but I'm sure there is a pm function if you need to talk
