Thread: Losing Weight...

Hiya,

I just thought I'd post a wee topic here for anyone who's currently losing weight. Now I know the spirit of Burlesque is about loving our curves etc but it's losing weight that has given me the confidence to get into burlesque and want to start performing.

So saying that, I thought it might be nice to have a wee thread here for anyone who's losing weight to get that wee bit of extra motivation as and when needed.

Personally for me, I'm doing Weight Watchers at the moment, and it really seems to work for me - tonight I reached the half a stone milestone in 8 weeks so feeling pretty chuffed with myself :excited:

Hi honey
well done I did weight watchers and lost 2 and a half stone its great. that was a good few years ago and I have managed to keep it off. its about learning safe tips for eating so you do not fall into old traps.
I have put on half a stone in the last two months as many back has been bad and I have not been able to exercise. So I am trying to do it on my own using weight watcher recipes. I have dropped four pounds but I fancy losing another six. I think burlesque is about being confidant and I do feel confidant being a size 14 but I do want having a belly that is a bit more trim and to be a bit more fit.

Too true! Anything that makes you confident should be applauded. I don't think i need to lose weight, but I do want to tone up, get fit and get rid of some of my jiggle (not all of it, the boy would never forgive me ...)

I think there was a weight loss thread started a couple of months back which had quite a few responses, it might be worth looking that one up?

Losing a bit of weight has certainly made me a bit more confident. Although after 20 years of yo yo dieting and hating myself i couldn't go down this route anymore and found an amazing book and workshop called Beyond Chocolate - which is just about learning to have a better relationship with food and my body. I found Beyond Chocolate and then burlesque really helped with the liking my body better part Losing weight was a bit of a side effect of being much happier - def worth checking out not just if you want to lose weight but just if you want try something a bit different

I still have far to go but i'm getting there......

I've started to lose a bit due to the face that my doctor told me I was officially obese! I am 'cheating' slightly though....as well as removing takeaway and general crap from my diet I am also taking prescribed tablets to help me achieve a sensible weight a bit faster.

I wouldn't have minded but I'm only a 16 so I didn't see myself as fat until the doctor started on at me!

Whilst not exactly big, I've put on some weight over the past few months and I'm a little overweight now. So I'm losing a bit of weight- mainy because none of my clothes fit me anymore :cry:

I've finally given up Pepsi, it's only been a week so I haven't noticed a difference yet. And I'm doing it the really boring counting calories way.

i lost four stone doing weight watchers. it took me 2 years but i hit goal last march and have kept it off..:excited: i started it again two weeks ago as i have decided to loose another half a stone. but cant seem to get into the diet this time and keep failing to loose anymore. maybe its because ive lost all the weight and dont feel the real real need to loose anymore..

I've lost 3 stone doing Scottish Slimmer and its always a good fail safe for when the clothes get a bit tight - but i can't get back into it at the moment with birthdays and christmas I'm going to do my best but i'm starting in january! (keeping up the exercise though instead):yes:

well i have always been the advocator of loving thy curves but my doctor and the fertility specialists have been on my case to lose a stone .

i am size 14/16 ...

i have been swimming 3 times a week for the last month and i walk my dog every day
so that is swimm 3 miles and walk 5 miles per week .

have given up butter and chocolate !!

finding it very difficult and slow
i have 10 weeks to lose 6kg

hmmmmmm....

i didnt exercise at all during my weight loss time...it took me so long as i kept going off the diet for someones birthday party or xmas and it would take me ages to get back into it, but i did it in the end. i do need to start exercising now though.. why dont you go on the weight watchers diet..i did it online. and it ends up being a way of life not a fad diet
