The gym sounds great but when. I work from 7:30am to 6:00pm. I have a one year old daughter. Mommy and Me on Saturdays at 2:30. Wedding planning. How can I schedule it in? Any Tips

I go to the gym after work, usually around 7:30-9:00 or so... I also go on Sat. and Sun mornings. Many gyms have childcare.

Re: Are we sucessfully dieting summer brides?

Only way I can lose weight it to excercise. I have a rowing machine and do stretching in the a.m. Although I haven't started yet.

Hurt my back a year ago last Jan. and lost 30 lbs. doing this. My motivation was excruciating back pain and this was the only way to alleviate pain. Plus watching what I eat. But excercise is the key, especially in the a.m., ups your metabolism for the day and you feel better.

Re: Are we sucessfully dieting summer brides?

Nope!

I lost a few pounds right after we got engaged, all the excitement and everything.

But now I feel like it can wait until January...not going to suffer through the holidays, I love all the food

Re: Are we sucessfully dieting summer brides?

I still try to be good during the week, during the weekend, I do eat more, but I will have a big breakfast and skip lunch or something like that.

I have been working out a little more than normal. Plus I adopted a dog a few weeks ago and he loves to go for walks.

I think once my dress comes in, I will be more worried about weight, but I am ok for now.

My company has a funny way to watch your weight for the holidays. They will weight this Friday and then they will weigh you again on Jan 3rd. Whoever is within a pound of their originally weight will win movie tickets. I guess they don't want us chunking up for the holidays.

Re: Are we sucessfully dieting summer brides?

I personally find stress the best diet - can't eat when I'm stressed - I think I lost 10 pounds since we were engaged from stress alone!!!

Re: Are we sucessfully dieting summer brides?

I joined WW too. I am also trying to go to the gym as much as possible. My sister is doing it with me, so she makes me go when I don't feel like it. I lost like 5 lbs, but I have a lot more to go!

Re: Are we sucessfully dieting summer brides?

Nope, but once Jan 1st comes I have no choice. I don't want my dress to come in and I don't fit into it......talk about embarrassing.

I'm going to have to diet and exercise seriously, b/c I am not happy with how this body will look on our HM.

Re: Are we sucessfully dieting summer brides?

I started working out in the morning and did it last week as a routine, BUT this week I only worked out Monday morning!!

I wish I had a buddy I could work out with, but with all the $$$ for the wedding I can't afford to join a gym!!! I guess I gotta keep trying to motivate myself. My FH is great but it's not that great when I have to get up at 6 am and he's all warm and cozy in bed!!!

Somebody HELP!!!!
