Although I knew I had weight on over the last 2 years I could not get motivated to loose weight not even for my sons wedding, but after seeing the photos I was mortified. So I am motivated to have photos with the happy couple taken on their 1st wedding anniversary 22nd April 2018 and look a lot slimmer and fitter might need advice and support on the journey hope someone out there will be able to help.

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 NHS 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.

welcome to the forum- have you decided on your initial target weight yet? Do you know how much you need to loose? Its advisable to stick to a slow & steady weight loss of 1-2lbs (or 0.5-1kg) per week to improve your chances of it remaining off. make sure you eat enough calories so your body doesn't think you are starving yourself and we area friendly bunch on here so if you want to ask any questions, moan or celebrate someone will respond with suggestions on what worked for them- though it may not mean it works for you but its something to try, support and congratulate you.
