Florida Brides and Grooms diet

[lizj1982]

Hi everyone

Thought I would start a new diet thread as the brides in the last one are all married ladies now!

I'll start us off. I'm Liz, 30 from Hyde in Greater Manchester. I'm getting married at Cypress Grove on 27 September 2013 to my wonderful other half Darren. We have a little boy Luca who is 13 months old.

I desperately need to loose at least a stone, I'm struggling to loose my baby weight tbh. I'm currently 11st 7. I'm mainly planning on doing it by healthy eating and exercise when I can. I have lots of weight watchers cook books and bought the hairy bikers diet cook book last week.

Would love to hear from others who are trying to loose some weight prior to their weddings and hopefully we can get there together x

Hi

I am also getting married at Cypress Grove on April 2nd 2013 to my hubby to be Mark

I am just trying to tone up mostly but would love to lose about another half a stone. I've lost a stone already by healthy eating and lots of excercise! Trouble is I can't lose much more because I'm worried my dress might end up too big!

Have you bought your dress yet? Or are you waiting till you have lost the weight?

Jo

I totally recommend the ten minute solution DVDs! There are quite a few with different trainers. There are different styles of exercise and different levels. They are cheap too. I have quite a few of them and I love them. I haven't been able to do them for a while as been busy doing up the house and no room in the lounge.


I could feel a difference in body tone with them and people complimented me too

Hi I'm Emma, also from Greater Manchester. I'm getting married on 30th May 2013 at Cypress Grove.

I also trying to lose weight before my big day! I have already bought my dress a size 10 Maggie (which I've been told is a UK12). I bought this dress not long after starting my diet at size 18! I've lost 2.5st so far but ideally would like to lose around another 3st, but I'm not fussed as long as my dress fits!

At the minute I am supposed to be on the special K diet but have had family birthdays left, right and centre and have been naughty at every opportunity

Nat from the other group suggested Myfitnesspal which I'm going to check out now I'm on my days off and I'm also going to drag my big behind to the gym! x

That's great! I've managed to loose 3lb this week although I had a bad day yesterday and ate 2 Krispy Kremes so I'm sure that's going to catch up with me.

I have the myfitnesspal app on my phone and it really good, you can scan the barcodes of the food and it gives you the calories per portion. I found when I stick to it, it really helps x
