I WILL be a 2013 beach babe

[hollyjayneratcliffe]

Now were out of summer 2012 or what we had of it, I'm feeling really fed up as I'm still not 'bikini material'.
Is anyone else fed up of jeans and blouses for summer???!!!!!
I hate looking at all these skinny girls in gorgeous clothes when the suns out that it makes me either a) reach for food or b) reach for a cardigan.

I refuse to spend another summer layered up and I WILL be wearing a bikini on a beach/sun lounger/ park bench somewhere next year.

Anyone with me?????

So..........
I have a painful 62lbs to go to reach my pre pregnancy, pre black stretch legging, pre maternity jean stage. (baring in mind my baby has just turned 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

There are 50 weeks to go until mid June next year.......

Hollyjayne 62lbs ( 1.5 lost, 60.5 to go)

You said it!

I have to lose 88 pounds. And instead of setting a specific goal, I have joined WW and will follow their program. Realisticly by next Summer I should have lost it, and if not, at least most of it.

I have spent the past decade failing when trying to lose the weight quickly. So this time am going to take it nice and easy. Slow and ateady and forever

When did you have your baby? I have an 11 month old son

You can do it, this time last year I was 15st 8
I'm now just 10 lb away from my 11 stone goal, I've lost 54lb in total,.... Honestly it soon mounts up, set small targets like 7lb in a month, keep one item of clothing from when you were big. It does help



This was me the week before I started ww





and me in February, at 50 lb loss

Ive been a bit up and down since then but since getting a better goal from the doctor I'm so motivated now

Oh wow! Well done!! Am really impressed

The whole setting goals thing hasnt worked out too well for me in the past, so this time I dont have any. Just to stick to this plan till I reach my ideal weight. And then stick to it to mantain it

Still annoyed by myself. Had hoped to lose more while breastfeeding but i didnt produce enough milk and end up bottle feeding instrad and gaining weight too

I was the same I didn't produce enough milk and ended up bottle feeding, and put on 3stone after having her. I'm now at my post pregnancy weight.
No point in being annoyed whats done is done x

As said. For me it is slow and steady, and no goals. Everything else has failed for me, it seems

Setting small goals seems to be better, reaching the 'fab 5lbs' and 7lbs.
Slow and steady x
