Encouragement needed! - Wedding Forum

Hiya!

Have just sorted my cupboard out and found all my old Weight Watchers stuff (booklets, calculator etc.) and it's given me an incentive to get some of this weight off! Am going to have a final blowout day today, then when I go shopping tomorrow I shall make a big effort to buy "good" things!

Only 4 and a bit weeks to go til my wedding so i dont expect miracles, but hopefully it will be a good start and I can carry on with it after. I think I'll be so busy in the weeks after the wedding, I wont even have time to eat!

I need to lose loads, but if i could get back to what i was after having the kids (makes it a 4 stone target! eek!) then I would be happy! I was skinny until then! Combination of looking after myself, not having time to cook anything proper, and just being a lazy cow have taken their toll!

But I'm ready now, so c'mon girls... tell me I can do it! lol

Love Dawn xxx

Hi Dawn!

Good luck with it all! Sounds like you're determined enough.

I need to empty our cupboards out too. I still have easter eggs (can you believe it?), smarties & chocolate fingers (a result of sending ben shopping!!!).

It feels wrong to waste them and throw them away, but I wouldn't have had five choc fingers last night if they hadn't been in the cupboard!

Anyhow, you're one of us now. We'll kick you when you're down, tell you off when you're bad and praise you when you've done good. You have to do the same in return of course!

You can do it Dawn!! I have never been to WW or anything like that, but since joining this forum I have had all the encouragement I need to loose weight.

Encouragement fully avaliable from me Dawnie!

Funny thing is, I was just working out how many WW points I've eaten in the last two days, despite the fact that I'm now a Slimming World girl! Think that stuff stays with you forever!

Enjoy the blowout!!!! and have one for me!

Did you get the Asda "Good For You" range???? I just had the Chicken Foristierre with veg for tea - yummy, and I think about 3 1/2 points per piece!

I got a couple of those, cant remember what tho :confused:

Im having a piece of turkey done in the oven with leeks, onions and mushrooms, with cauli and broccoli....

And i've still got loads of points left!

It does gt harder as you lose weight tho, coz your points drop so not as much to eat!

But i got a way to go yet...

OK, grubs up! YAY!!!
