Hi everyone, I want to lose 3 stone by next October as I will be giving my daughter away (wedding, no need to call Social Services!!) My present weight is 12stone 11pounds and am dreading finding a flattering dress if I don't finally do something about my weight!

Lol! Been tempted to give mine away many times 😂

Hello Madamederriere Welcome to the Weight Loss NHS forum. It’s great that you’ve joined. We are a friendly bunch! 😊

I recommend having alook at the Pinned Posts section, to the right of your screen (bottom, if you're using a mobile) and have a look at the Welcome Newbies thread.😊 there is lots of info here, and links to the nhs12 week plan and also for checking your BMR and target calories 😊 it's important to eat enough so you don't get hungry or feel deprived 😊 Also ask moreless for a newbie badge 😊

If you feel confident then join us for the Monday Group weigh-in. If you follow Lowcal and Moreless (our very approachable site Admins), you'll be notified when they post the threads. The latest weigh-in thread can always be found in the Events section, to the right of the home page. 😊

Be active on the forum, as that's where we exchange ideas and get our daily dose of motivation and inspiration.😊

I've lost almost three stone but it had taken s while due to health hiccups (long story) and if I can do it anyone can 😊 It was my sons wedding that prompted me and now he and DIL are expecting 😊❤️😊

Hi Madame Derriere,

Welcome! I hope you'll enjoy being part of this community, and I hope you join in with anything you like the look of - some great Challenges going on, and I can recommend the NHS 12 week plan, it's really good.

Wishing you success with your goals.

Lowcal

October gives you plenty of time to lose those unwanted lbs, and you have the best of motives to plan to look your best at the wedding.

Everytime you feel like snacking, make a cup of fruit tea and log on to Ebay and browse through the Mother of the Bride outfits! It soon takes your mind off eating!

Good idea, thank you!

Love your social services joke really made me chuckle I always say I've often thought of adoption- but no one would have them Only joking love my boys to bits

Good luck although I'd so love to be the weight you are now 😞

Lovely occasion to look forward to I have our youngest son's wedding in July so I'm desperate to lose the weight😃
