Shedding for the Wedding with Slimming World
After getting engaged this summer, I decided I want to lose a little bit of weight for our wedding. I have always been the same weight since I was eighteen or nineteen, verging between size eight and ten, but these days I am closer to size ten!
I know I don’t have a lot to lose, only seven pounds or so and I’d be delighted but I have NO willpower. Which is fine normally, I am quite happy to eat what I like when I like, but with a wedding on my mind I think now is the time to lose a pound or two and I need help to motivate me along.
I am thinking about slimming world because of the accountability involved, you have to go and be weighed each week, so I am hoping my competitive streak will win out and help me start shedding for the wedding!
I know I could just go to the gym and count mircos and macros and all that jazz but it is just too much effort for me. I had a brief dalliance with the gym and I did not enjoy it! I much prefer going for a nice brisk stroll.
It seems very straight forward and doable.
Have any of you experienced success with slimming world? I would love to know if anyone would recommend it or not!
Hi Valerie I’m actually following the plan at the moment. It’s v easy to follow and you’re not feeling deprived. It’s a very good plan that you can keep to. Obviously at the moment being away from school/routine it’s a bit tricky with being away and that however it is manageable and if I’m away I can choose to stay on/off plan. Good luck!
Hi I am doing slimming world at the moment and I just love it I have lost 4 stone 2 lbs since 11th January .
Hi Valerie,
Congrats on your engagement. Slimming world is great! I began my journey almost 2 yrs ago now. Unlike you, I’d struggled with my weight ballooning to a size 18 @ my worst. Shameful to say my biggest clothes weren’t maternity clothes. I’d been talking to myself for a while, when one evening a colleague mentioned she was going to give it a try. I said if my husband was home to mind the boys I’d go along too. As fate would have it he was. And so began my journey of Syns and free foods. All a bit daunting at the start but it doesn’t take long to get your head round it. And once you do and you commit…success is yours. 3 stone lighter and not just that I’m actually keeping it off. I’ve hit my goal…couldn’t be happier or more chuffed with myself.
Best of luck with your journey.
Enjoy the build up to your big day.
Hi Valerie,
I had a lot more weight to lose than you, but I found slimming world amazing. It’s not restrictive, once you stick to the plan there’s nothing you can’t have. I even ate low syn options from the Chinese most Fridays so I didn’t feel like I was missing out when everyone around me was getting take away! I lost 5 and a half stone in 9 months just by following the plan!
Congratulations and enjoy the build up to the wedding!
