Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

actually to make things a little more interesting me and my fh have a bet. if i lose 20lbs by our friends wedding in september and keep it off for our wedding i get diamond earrings i have been wanting. and if my fh loses 50lbs and then he gets the big tv he has been wanting. so we will see who wins i lost 4lbs already and of course he lost 8lbs. nice. Let the best person win. 20lbs is going to be so hard.

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

I am not afraid to say it...I voted 50+

I can afford to lose a significant amount of weight.

I have been excellent since the new year started...I have restricted my calorie intake and I joined curves...less than one year to go and I intend to be very self controlled.

Lets see how much of an impact I can make!

Good luck to all of you trying as well!

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

I voted for 5-10 lbs but I think it is more that I need to tone rather than lose

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

I voted for 5-10lbs for toning purposes...I already lost 7 of them...The thing is, I already ordered my dress which is being custom made to my figure, so I can't lose much more

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

Well, I actually lost some weight.....TG!
So, I really could use some major toning. I plan on joining the gym soon and get some hard core cardio. I feel I met my plateau and just cant get anymore off.
That has to be the way....or else no wedding dress for me!

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

I've actually been dieting since July and have lost 27 pounds so far. I have 9 more pounds to my target weight. I just need to tone up my muscles now and keep that weight for the wedding and hopefully thereafter.

(Let's see what my honeymoon does to that plan - I'm going on a cruise.)

I aggree. Most of my weight came off through dieting on Weight Watchers but no excercise. I'm finding that I'm not losing anymore. I've been at same weight for 2 months now. I think the rest is flabby skin I need to tone out with excercise. If anyone is interested, you should join the National Body Challenge hosted by the Discovery Health Channel.

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

I need to lose at least 50 lbs! My goal is 50 lbs! I gained a lot of weight after 2 car accidents. I'm going to have to go on WW or something.. Curves is great. I LOVED it, but I had to stop b/c of my injuries. Good Luck Ladies!

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

just try to stick to it. its hard to look at such a big number like 30 or 50 lbs., its too overwhelming. set goals for yourself, like 2 or 3 lbs a week. it makes it easier to stick to a diet/weight loss plan.

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

I want to lose a good 25-30 lbs. My mom and I are going to start Weight Watchers. It has worked for me in the past but I always go back to the old ways

I need to lose weight for my friend's wedding this JUly anyway and of course my 2006 wedding is A HUGE incentive

Hope you are all doing well with the weight loss.

Re: POLL: How much weight are you trying to lose for the wedding?

I definitely need to lose at least 10 pounds by the wedding. I just re-joined my gym and am trying to get into a routine. I am just scared of the pain I'm going to feel once I begin weight training!

me too!!! I want to lose like 5 to 10 pounds purely because I have gained some in the last couple of months and want to be a bit toned for the wedding. I also satnd in front of kids all day and right now I do not feel like myself, but I dont think anyone should lose sooooo much weight just for the wedding and then never look like that again
