Well...wedding was in August of last year. I am 27. Weighed 11stone after a Christmas binge last year (I am 5'3) and got down to 9stone 6 for my wedding. Afterwards I just went crazy and am back exactly where I was this time last year (usually weigh 10stone-10.5)! Arghh I feel so angry with myself as I had to religiously calorie count and went to the gym EVERY DAY!! I feel like it takes me so much hard work to lose weight and to sustain it is impossible! Anyone else in the same boat? I weighed 8stone through my teenage years and could eat whatever I wanted! I have booked a late honeymoon to the Caribbean and I am determined to lose at least 2 stone by April! Went back to the gym on Saturday for the 1st time since August which was very painful! So if anyone needs a weight loss buddy then let me know

Aw how kind of you! I hope he appreciates it! I find the calorie counting pretty easy and quite enjoy the gym when I go (I do classes) but it's just getting motivated into doing it all again I guess when it's so easy to be lazy!! Ha I felt so much better doing regular exercise though. I was going to join SW just for the pressure of getting weighed in a group so I stay on track but I did it on my own before and can do it again, it's just the staying on track (especially as my family eat out a lot!!) I think it's a waste of money when all the tools you need are here and your own will power! Thanks and good luck

Hi, I am 5ft 4 and I weight in on Dec 31st at 10 stone 12 lbs. I put on about 3 lbs during the Christmas season. I had planned to weigh in on Monday and start training again but I had a back load of work that I wanted to clear. Today I will weigh in and start training. Since we are about the the same size and I want to get back to a healthy weight of 9st 2 lbs. 24 lbs to lose. I would love to be your weigh loss buddy.

Hi there! How are you getting on? I lost 2 pounds last week and then on Saturday went out with friends for a curry and ice cream at the cinema and put the 2 pounds back on in 1 day!! So know I need to be stricter now so will need to think ahead! Im exercising 4 times a week for an hour and doing the squat challenge as well .
