It's the final countdown.....

Hello everyone ,

my name is Madison and I'm 28 and I'm 21.1 stone (booooooo booooo)

i have completed slimming world in past and lost a stone ..I then did Cambridge and lost 2 stone and I have kept it all off

however due to a series of events both past , present and future I'm coming back to slimming world....

The one big event in the future is our wedding next year ... And so this is it... I'm sure we all say this but for me , if I can't do it for our wedding when will I ever do it.

So today is a new day, I have already joined a gym which is something I have never done before and I'm loving it!

My main concern is I feel like 21 stone is such a extreme weight to be , could slimming world work in time for wedding. Don't get me wrong i am not expecting to be 10 stone by next September but I would like to set myself a goal which is achievable and not unrealistic.

would be really lovley to hear from others who have been in the higher end of the scale and what they are now and what to expect to be realistic goal in the time I have

Even if you lose just 1lb a week between now and beginning of september next year that is still over 4 and half stone, and there is no saying you will lose 1lb each week, depends how fast of a loser you are, nothing saying you won't lose 3 or 4lb in the first few weeks or even beyond that. I believe the average person loses 1-2lb a week, so maybe a target of somewhere between 71lb (which is 1lb a week) and 134lb (2lb a week)...obviously depends how committed far and how high you want to aim. And if you do manage top end...you could easily end up at below 12st.

I seem to lose weight quickly ..for example, I lost 1 1/2 stone in a month on slimming world and I lost 1 stone on Cambridge in 2,5 weeks!!
But then I come to little blocks, for example I'm stuck on 21.1 and I can't budge it ..no matter how good I am or how many gym times... And I may get stuck for a couple if weeks...frustrating.com lol

I'd say just aim to do your best every day you can and break the amount you want to lose down into small stages and reward yourself along the way and you might surprise yourself how far you get!
I started off at a size 28/30 and thought would give sw a whirl as a friend was doing well on it. I didn't think I'd lose anything but it worked and I lost some, I dreamt of being a size 18 but never thought it would happen, but I kept going and I kept losing and I am now a size 14 and never ever thought I would say that!

Good Luck x

I started at 21st 2 and got to target of 11.13 in 18months so it certainly can be done!

Trust in the plan, follow it and be honest with yourself about what syns you're having, keep a food diary and you'll soon get the hang of it.

I know i lost my weight quickly and this isn't the case for everyone but you can definitely make a big difference before your wedding. Keep on minimins and the ladies and gents here will help as much as possible.

Good luck!

100% you can do it just look at all the inspirational people like supergirl1980, there is a whole thread of before and after pictures which would motivate the weekest willed.

I have adopted a great saying I heard "Never give on up on a dream just because of the time it will take to accomplish it,the time will pass anyway!"
