Losing weight for my wedding

I got engaged to my fiancé on October 3rd last year and I have decided that I want to lose some weight before my wedding despite the fact that no date has been set for it yet.

I appreciate having support and motivation from other people either online or near to me.

Hi and welcome, Sheryl :)

Many congratulations for your engagement and upcoming wedding :)

Take a look at the Pinned posts section to the right of your screen (bottom if you're using a mobile), or in the drop down on the 'Posts' page (it says 'arrange by'). Read the Welcome Newbie thread, then move through to the challenges, where we hope you'll find at least one that will appeal to you.

Move down to the Topics, to find a variety of threads, collated into specific topics for ease of access and we ask that you also 'file' your own threads, so that others won't miss your important news.

Take a look at the NHS 12 week plan, as a lot of people have been successful with it, making sure to enter your details into the BMI calculator, to get a calorie allowance tailored to your personal requirements. Don't forget to take your starting measurements and a 'before' picture, as they can be very motivating on days that the scales refuse to co-operate.

We run daily weigh-in's and you'd be very welcome to join us. The threads can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the HOME page, bottom on a mobile.

We also run a Daily Diary, where we share our meal and exercise plans for the day. It's a great place to get ideas and to keep us focused. The link can also be found in Events.

Be aware, that the HU app doesn't give you access to all of our important features, so we advise that you use the full website page.

We've found that to get the best out of this community, we need to be active on the forum, as it's where we exchange information, get motivation and inspiration and make friends. We hope that you'll join us here, regularly, too.

It's only left for me to wish you well on your journey :)

I am currently following Slimming World but I am weighing in at my mum's instead of attending classes because I am trying to save for my wedding and I am in the process of moving. One of my colleagues at work had a spare Slimming World folder with current books and a current food diary which she gave to me in order to be able to follow the plan. I feel that making a note of everything that I eat helps me to make healthier food choices which will help me with my weight loss.

Well done, maybe you could share your food choices with us on the daily diary when your able, either in advance or in retrospect... the more the merrier!
