it would have been lovely to get some nice chineese food and choccys but at the end of the day i think losing weight is way better than any food. me who's a little crazy with the scales n sometimes think socks weigh to much left a heavy gown on so i lost around 8-9lb which i was thrilled about. aww i miss little half stone awards u get from slimming world and slimmer of the week. too poor to afford that so trying to follow it from all the old books!

well done i dream slim i think u get a bit addicted to muller on slimming world!

n to sammy u've done amazingly well to lose that weight. baby weights like the hardest weight to lose.

Thanks hun, i've been really lucky! Thanks for the welcomes ladies! Welli've got weigh in tomorrow so will see how a week of EE has done for me. I just want to be able to lose aout 2lbs a week on average to get to my target for christmas as i want to start wedding dress shopping and refuse to try anything on over a size 12!! so i've a long way to go. I've been losing this weight without any exercise so i'm going to start exercising as of tuesday. i'm starting a couch to 5k programme to get into running again. it reackons that i'll be running 5k in9 week.... guess i'll just see about that!! lol! I'm motivated though, i've lost an inch from my waist since i started, i didnt measure anywhere else so no idea what else i have or havent lost but pleased with that inch being gone - never to return!! once i've dont the couch to 5k and can run 5k without passing out then i'm going to try that jillian michaels 30 day shred. i fully expect to hate her by the end of session one, but if it works then it's worth it

Good job on the weight loss ladies!! xx

You sound like a woman on a mission sammi. Lol.
Just to forewarn you though, wedding dresses usually size up so please don't feel put out if you end up in a size 14, they're small made! A friend of mines mum has a wedding dress shop and she said her favourite brides to work with are a size 14 as they suit almost every shape and style x

Hey everyone! Just noticed this group. I am 26 and I am going to my first class on Thursday. Hoping that sw works for me xx

 

[pestikar]

just been for my second run. n although u feel a bit like ur hearts guna explode and ur legs won't carry on anymore afterwards u feel all proud of urself it's a nice feeling afterwards. whats the 30 day shred?! sounds interesting!

 

[pestikar]

hi clare, everyone on sw is dead friendly when u go to the groups it's a really good support. n goodluck on ur first weigh in xx

 

[sammyb1985]

Thanks bubble if I'm a 12 in normal clothes but have to get a 14 In the wedding dress I don't really mind, I just want to keep that size 12 target in my mind to keep me motivated and push me on each week. I probably will end up in a 14 because a lot of the ones I like are lacey and so probably won't have much give on them, just so excited to start trying them on! xx

Yep I think that's when it's really clicked when you would rather lose weight than have even your favourite food x

go for it jo! be warned u may feel like ur guna die...but that just means its working

u can download things like personal running trainer as an app. i personally prefer to run by using things like lamposts make it my goal to reach a few before walking. aparently it's meant to be the best exercise for burning cals, that and swimming but i have nightmares of being in a swimming costume

30DS is torture I've only ever got to 4 days!!!By that time I'm so tired, I might try it again though as it seems the results come in about a week.

On a personal note today I put on some pants that 5 weeks ago were so so very tight, and now they are so much looser!!! I think this is like the second time my clothes have looked better on me and fit since I started SW.

Jo-85 and pestikar I think Next had some lovely swimming costumes in the sale, and M&S, you should take a look!

 

[sammyb1985]

[h=6]Another 2.5lbs off this week! So i've lost 1 stone 1 pound in 4 weeks! SO pleased with the results! Starting the couch to 5k tomorrow, really excited to get into it, let's hope it goes well and helps rather than hinders my weight loss next week! xx[/h]

 

[pestikar]

thanks hollyfran, i can never find a good cozzy, i think it'd help with the confidence to get back into the water cos i did used to love swimming

 

[hollyfran]

pestikar - no problem, hope you find one you like!

The 30DS is a killer but it does so work and it's amazing how quickly u start to find it easier to do.

Wtg on the clothes it's a lovely feeling when they start to feel better isn't it

Thanks for the tip on the cossie x
