Hi there.
I had a baby last may. He is perfect but while pregnant I put on 2 stone. I've managed to shift one but can't get past the 13 stone mark. It's really getting me down.
I'm getting married next November I have my dress but need to lose 2 more stone to fit into it. Maybe even three.
I am walking alot and have started slim fast and talking diet tablets.
Can anyone give me any ideas on motivation. I'm stuck in a rut and can't seem to get out of it.
Help me please xx
 
Welcome StephieLou87, good look with your weight loss journey.

Hi
I'd like to blame my baby for my weight but i can't as I lost the baby weight straight away. I managed the 17st all by myself :).
I joined Slimming World and have started running training and zumba. I've lost 10lb in a month. I was walking everywhere and it didn't seem to be aerobic enough to get anything shifting so I uped the anti.
Think my body is in shock though nOw.
Great thing about SW the more you eat the more you lose.
Good Luck
:)
 
I tried SW last July. Lost 1 stone then couldn't shift anymore. Felt I was paying to be told I hadn't lost weight. Got really upset and would eat and eat. It doesn't help my fiancé loves his food but is as skinny as a rake. He has a very physical job so he can eat. I will be the beautiful bride not a big fat wide bride :-(
 
Hi
My husband is a marathon runner so he too can eat whatever he wants. So I know how you feel. It's a bit easier for me as I have gallstones so I can't eat fat without 5 hours of excruciating pain so guess what... I don't. I buy him things I know I can't eat so it works ok. On SW the weeks I haven't done so well are because I didnt eat enough or drink enough.
You'll get there. Keep focused.

I've started taking acia berry tablets proven to lose 14-30 lb in 2 weeks. Hope it works x
 
I'm not to sure. I started taking them yesterday aswell as doing slimfast shakes for breakfast. I won't weigh myself until next Wednesday but will keep you updated.
 
Hmmm I'm not sure but if the weight comes off I'll be happy ;-)
 
So I went to my mums yesterday and couldn't help but weigh myself. I always go by her scales as they are better than mine. And in two weeks I have put on four pound. This shocked me. So today I'm only having slimfast and a dinner tonight. I'm going to take my boy out for a long walk and try to do some other exercise. I hate myself and feel so disgusting I can't bear to look in a mirror x
 
Hi
Don't let it get you down too much. There was a week on SW I put on 2lb and was gutted as I can't cheat as I can't eat fat or drink alcohol and I know didn't cheat. Turned out I hadn't eaten or drunk enough. When I did it came off. Once you've had your shake what fo you eat the rest of the day?

Today I have eaten 2 apples 1 pack nik naks 3 donuts and 2 oat bars. Just through boredom not because I was hungry. That's my problem. Noone around so I eat :-( I feel like being sick now :-( I went out came home and ate the crisps and bars then went to Tesco and somehow ended up buying donuts and eating them on the way home :-( they weren't even nice x such a bad week. Maybe the weekend will be better?!? :-(
 
Why dont u join weight watchers or slimmers world as that way u will get more motivated as everyone there is in the same boat plus they get u to eat normal food & still lose weight. Its a lot healthier option all round plus u get to meet new friends which is a lovely bonus!

I've joined SW but didn't loose anything dispite following it to a tee!! And I found it hard to pay £5 a week to be told I was still the same weight. :-( it's heart braking.
Tomorrow I'm on my bike running in the garden-can't run in public with my boobs! And drinking 3 litres of water!
 
The important thing when you fall off the wagon is to jump straight back on. I k ow how you feel I'm home all day so tempting to munch x

Slimfast is a tough one when you have temptations!!
I would recommend upping the exercise - I brough a cheap skipping rope the other day and hide round the side of my house/garage and blast out 15-20 minutes to some music - REALLY get your heart pumping and when you feel like you have exercised you DO feel better about yourself - I never used to do anything but feel better for it and already seeing results!!
Keep going hun, everyone has bad days/weeks...just gotta keep going!! xx
 
I will do. After this week I feel awful so I will be on it 100%. I have to drink more water too. Tomorrow oh is working again overtime all weekend so I'll walk 5 miles both days. Slimfast breakfast & lunch going to get fresh fruit from the Market to snack on.
I WILL DO IT!! I will lose 5 stone by next October x
 
Been for a two mile walk. Made me feel loads better :)
