Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi there,

Go Marcia!

Just got back from the east end. Did alot of eating and working out there. Tomorrow I'm beginning the South Beach Diet. I'm treating the first two weeks as boot camp. I think that will get me through nervous eating and the Wedding I'm attending this weekend.

Will write more tomorrow!

Need to dream of running and dieting and fitting into my dress, and yes, the bathing suit thereafter

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Ahhhh, I'm doing really good with my workouts this week.

All I can say is 'ouchie' on the inner thighs..... But it's all good....

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Well, I suppose The South Beach Diet will have to wait for tomorrow. I started it this morning and even did a walk/run(alternating 3 minutes running with 2 minutes walking)...

...but then the people at work gave me a SHOWER. It was beautiful and a total complete shock. The food was wonderful.. I had Caesar salad, tomato salad and some pasta. Of course I had a piece of cake, so now I feel like a blimp!

BOO HOO...but so elated about the shower. People can be so lovely and wonderful.

I am a lucky person(who needs to get serious again about her diet, and needs to get out and walk tonight, before the tasting (yes, more food) at the Old Field Club~!

YIKES

Hope you all are doing better than me....please some encouragement about diet and my tries at running.

Thanks!

Great job with the running this morning!

I hope you enjoyed the shower

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Even though our wedding is in October, I was browsing. What is the South Beach Diet?

A tip for what is worth: if you want eggs in the morning have egg whites that is where all the protien is and the choletstroel [sp?] is in the yolk. It will cut a lot of fat out of your daily intake and make a world of difference. I have done that and it allows for a little more fat during the other meals.

And eat a bigger lunch than salad, Save the light small meal for dinner since its later in the day and you need less then and more for the day, after lunch. Good luck!!!!

I still need to drop 10 pounds and sculpt but times is a ticking!!!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi there,

The South Beach Diet seems to be a less restrictive version of the Atkins Diet(if you know what that is). Basically there is alot of protein, and green veggies, eggs, low-fat cheese and not much else for the first two weeks. Thereafter you may add in carbs a bit at a time.

I've only been on it for a couple of days and am fighting hunger!!!

But that's ok!

I won't know about by weight until next week when I get near a scale.

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

How are you all doing???

I was in NY for my pre-wedding appointments, which were all great!!! I ate pretty good and healthy, but not low-carb this weekend. I did lots of walking and made it to the gym Monday morning.

Even cheating with a bagel I lost 2 lbs! WOOHOO!!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi Marcia D,

Glad to see you back and good for you! I've been doing the South Beach Thing for a week. Yesterday I went to Ladies Workout Express for the first time and got weighed in. I'm not sure but I think I may have lost 3 pounds. The strange thing is that my measurements were a bit larger than they are when I measure at home

How are you getting consistently such good results?

You go girl!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi Carolyn, I eat low-carb and try to get in lots of workouts.

Monday 45 minute bike and walked about 4 miles.

Tuesday walked about 2 miles, squats, sit-ups, and push ups- had my flight so no big workout.

Wednesday- 45 minute Fat blasting yoga

Today I did a 25 min power walk at lunch and this evening 1 hr Tae-bo Advanced.

{I usually do more weights every week but could not pack them on my trip.}

How is Ladies Workout Express- is it Nationwide??

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Ah well, I guess I'll have to step up my own rountine if I want results(even more)!

I'm pretty sure Ladies Workout express is nationwide. It's inexpensive and designed to save time and be effective. I'll let you know in a couple of weeks How Effective(hee).

I haven't weighed yet, but I am feeling lighter, so that is good!


How is everyone else doing?

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

I am trying to lose 10 pounds by Dec 7th.

I feel that it is hard to get to the gym - so much going on after work. Do most people go in the morning?

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

I'm to addicted to the snooze button to workout in the am. I try to get in something during lunch time at least 3 days a week and after work every night.

FH works out after work so he motivates me not to miss mine!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

O.K. I have to get this going again! I have 49 days . This is final push time for me. How are the rest of you doing?

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Good, just need to do some last minute firming.

I bought 2 awesome bikini's last night for HM and judging by the way FH was drooling I'm really happy!!!

But I want to firm more in my last 3 weeks!!! AHHHH
