Dieting History
Slimming World, I did this for about 1 year, I don't think
it's a very good diet really. It allows you to eat massive
portion sizes.
Have you lost weight before
and regained the weight?
I went down to 9 1/2 stone and it all went straight back on.
On Being Overweight…
I used to get quite grumpy with my boyfriend; he can eat
anything and not put weight on. I'd sit with a nice healthy
salad while he had a KFC, but its worth it I feel loads better
now; I'm looking forward to the summer, and even going
swimming!! I used to hate it when friends told me how I should
lose weight, it really bugged me it made me feel patronised. I
know how to do it it's just putting it into practice.
Motivation to Lose Weight
I think everyone knows I'm getting married. I can't wait, it
has really inspired me to shift some weight. The thought of
walking up the aisle and having all those eyes on me is nerve
wracking, I was worried people would say ''you look lovely,
really beautiful'' and really be thinking "god look at the size
of her bum", or "hasn't she got fat arms".
I had my final dress fitting recently: it's a size 14 and
feels really lose now instead of skin tight, I feel and look a
lot better then I did in it last October. Another thing is the
honeymoon. I was really dreading getting clothes and swimwear. I
know my hubby to be will love me whatever but I'm so glad I now
have confidence, and I think that's really important.
Discovering Weight Loss Resources
I was searching the internet for some miracle cure to being
over weight and I found you lot. It's not happening over night
but I'm really getting there now.
How Weight Loss Resources Helps
This really is such a great site I can't preach about it
enough. The food diary is brilliant, it really has changed my
eating habits for good. The exercise diary really motivates you
and really does make you see that every little helps. It's
brilliant to see your BMI and body fat report change, I have
lost loads of inches and its good to be able to see it all come
together. I think the best part really is the boards. The
support is amazing, so much better then just going to a class
once a week. They're brilliant for weight loss and any problems
at home, there is always someone ready to pick me up if I'm
down.
The Best of Weight Loss Resources
I use it all really but mostly the boards because of the
great support, they are so addictive. I use the food and
exercise diary everyday, I would be lost without them.
Alana's Tips for Losing Weight
My biggest tip is weigh everything. It's so easy to overdo
things. It's quite a shock when you haven't been weighing
yourself and then you do.
Be honest in the food and exercise diaries; if you're not you
are only lying to one person and that's yourself.
Do you want to include anything else that you feel is
relevant and supportive?
The wedding is on the 3rd of July at 2.30pm at Hasketon
Church in Woodbridge. I'm going to the Maldives on honeymoon
which was meant to be a surprise but I found boyfriend's credit
card bill oopps!! I have got boyfriends dad giving me away, as I
don't see mine. (no great loss ;o)) I don't really know what to
say about it really. I am having quite a healthy meal for our
wedding breakfast. We are having duo of melon platter, Roast
Norfolk Turkey and veg and profiteroles for dessert (but I'm
only gonna have one, honest). I have vowed that I will walk
around our island at least once a day to try and keep trim but
as I've said before, this really is a good site so I should be
able to eat whatever I want as long as I keep moving!!
