A special event is always good motivation to lose weight, I think. Wishing you all the best. I'm sure you'll reach your target

Good luck! xx you sound like me yoyo dieter, i have four kids and am 35, im getting married next year and i have around 5st to loose, lets hope we both do it so we can be stunning xxx

Hi there

Sounds like you've set your set a realistic target all you need to do is take each day as it comes and plan out how you're going to get there. Do you have a schedule in mind? You should also start to log your food/calorie intake to help you understand more about your eating patterns.

It's tough losing weight but you van do it and keep it off for good.

All the best to you.

I know this feeling! I am very new to forums but not new to the misery of yoyo dieting, it is even worse when i know i have the weight to lose but dont have an incentive like a holiday or wedding. Any tips for this scenario?

good luck ! i also want to lose at least 4-6 stone i put alot back on when i had my baby.i lost 6 stone once by going to the gym 3 times a week and watching what i was eating , kept it off for 4 years and now even tho i go to the gym 3/4 times a week it's alot slower! so let us know how you get on and congratulations too!
