[dita_parlo]

Hi hun I started at 11stone3, am now 11stone1 am hoping to get to my wedding weight of 9stone4.

 

[LoopyLouize]

Heya ladies - just thought I'd pop in and wish you all the luck in the world! I will be cheering you all on from the sideline. I'm a good guilty conscience too lol - you wanna ask a girl in work with - she gets shouted at everytime I see her pouring a glass of coke at her desk hehe. I persuaded her to stop drinking this and got her drinking Twinings Fruit Tea and she loves it. So my first tip would be to try cut out all pop and replace it with fruit tea - it can also be brewed - then put in the fridge for a nice relaxing cold summer fruit drink. I seen a huge difference in her attitude whilst she drank this.. Calmer for a start and alot more motivated. X

 

[Doodles]

can I be added please? my current stats are -

start weight 14st 0lb, goal weight 8st 4lb, current weight 13st 7lb, bmi 33.4 (5stone 2lb to go)

 

[laurat]

A wee tip is I read research thar green tea aids weight loss. Since then I have tried green tea with various flavours. My favourite is green tea with lotus orange. Average weight loss 2 and a half pounds a week since June. One or 2 cups a day. I swear by it. Also I eat fruit any time I want to snack. When I get the need for chocolate I have a sachet of Options Hot Chocolate!

 

[Samsgirl]

thanks petal....great tip....will try some of the tea........i dont like normal green tea, but maybe with the orange it wont be so bad!! xx

 

[LouiseB]

Yay

LouiseB - Start Weight 11st 6, Goal Weight 9st 6 - Current Weight = 11 st 4 lbs (1st 12 lbs to go)

Good luck ladies

I'm on a smoothie plan at the moment, so a smoothie for two meals and then a 600/700 cal meal

Getting started is always the worst bit, so aim for just getting the first two week done first because if you do then your practically done already

 

[Samsgirl]

hello Louise!! good tip too.....a week at a time and all that xx

 

[Doodles]

does it have to be green tea? do the raspberry mix teas work (I LOVE raspberry mixes!!)

 

[dita_parlo]

I think green tea is vile lol but I will be drinking it again this time around, it just feels healthier than normal tea lol!

I think I'm gonna try Louise's smoothie/meal idea, might invest in a smoothie maker today and look up some receipes!

Although to be honest, the only thing I've really found to help me shift a lot of weight has been exercise! Luckily we have a home gym so I've been starting out in there this week, and plus with the weather so nice it's been fun to go out with my husband running as well!

 

[LouiseB]

Dita, you're so lucky to have a home gym! Would love one but don't have the room setup yet and omg the kit is so expensive!

I lost a couple of stone just before my wedding, but the gym didn't help shift anymore but i did look a lot better for it

I recommend the Kenwood Smoothie2Go. Only £25 and you blend directly into the drinking cup so easy to keep clean and you get lids for the cups so you could take them out with you for later.

The base for my smoothie is:
1 banana, a portion of dried cranberries, a portion of nuts and 400ml of skimmed milk (can have yogurt or water too).

Then i add to that the fruit for flavour - normally frozen berries. I had blueberries yesterday and this moring having summer berries - just pack them in.

Instead of berries i also have had half a mango and loads of spinach and it tasted fab

 

[dita_parlo]

aww wow that smoothie sounds delicious! Thats it; I'm sold, definitely off to buy things today! I know my husband makes loads of veggie smoothies but the smoothie maker he uses is about 100 years old and yucky lol. Thanks for the advice x

 

[NinjaKitty]

I'll be in as long as I don't have to post my weight. I couldn't show my face in here again for the shame of it !

How about I just say I want to set a goal of losing 2 stone between now and mid-summer? I have the Take That concert in the middle of June so I have something to motivate me .

 

[dita_parlo]

OOOH Kitty I'm seeing them June as well can't wait

 

[NinjaKitty]
