Trying to lose weight for my wedding

I've been trying to lose weight on and off for the past three years with no luck. I've found that every diet I have been on stopped me gaining weight but wouldn't help me lose any either. I'm on a new diet of 1300 calories, 4 workouts a week and mostly healthy food. Most people lose a lot in their first week but I've not lost a single pound.

Starting Weight: 16 stone

Goal Weight: 9 stone

Hi and welcome, KatTaylor :)

I think your problem has been long term dieting and cutting calories too low. 1300 calories would barely be enough for anyone and continuous restriction will force your body to lower its BMR. Have a look at these and see if they could help you healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... and healthunlocked.com/api/redi...

All of the information you need about the forum can be found in Pinned Posts healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh... and I hope you'll be joining all the Events, Challenges and Clubs that we run, especially a weigh-in and the daily diary.

If you haven't already taken it, here's a tour of the forum healthunlocked.com/?tour=true

We've found active participation to be key to successful weight loss and, of course, it's a good way to get to know people, find inspiration and share support and encouragement.

Wishing you all the best :)

That's not going to do it, Kat. You're fighting against your body's sense of self preservation and your body's always going to win.

Read the information moreless has given you and then give that approach - eating real, filling food - a good go for four weeks and see how you feel then. And join a weigh in and use the Daily Diary for the wonderful support and information you'll find there :)
