Gaining weight...

Did any of you find you started putting on weight after you got married. I've only been married for 6 months and already find I'm much bigger than my wedding date...

It seems 'I do' went to one thigh and 'I will' went to the other...

Re: Gaining weight...

I don't know if I've gained weight since the wedding but I know I've gained at least 10 lbs since I've met DH...

But then again, I am in CONSTANT battle with the same 20 lbs.. it is ridiculous

Re: Gaining weight...

Lately I've been very disappointed with myself. Before the wedding I lost almost 20 lbs and I was so proud of myself - it was hard but I did it, and the right way too! But after the wedding we had the holidays, and I had a rebound with smoking. I quit again in Jan., but without any help so I replaced my cravings with SUGAR! NOT good. All my weight piled back on

I'm now going back in the other direction, but it's a race against time being that it's already mid-June!! LOL

Re: Gaining weight...

I was just thinking the same thing!! I think (for me) it is because we live in an apartment now with that darn ice cream calling me from the freezer. The kitchen is way to close to the other rooms so I eat all the time! I also lived at home with my parents before I got married so I felt guilty eating too much of their food. Also..we live 4 houses down from STOP AND SHOP and if I feel the urge for something all I have to do is walk there and buy it.
I need to move!

I have gained 10 lbs. However, I recently went off birth control and lost 4 lbs.

Re: Gaining weight...

My HUSBAND (so funny saying that!) and I were just talking about how we both think we gained weight on our HM. We ate like PIGS! The food in Bar Harbor Maine was absolutely outstanding, and VERY rich, lots of chowders and cream sauces!

I'm usually like Jenn, and have trouble keeping weight on, but I wouldn't be surprised if I packed on a couple of pounds in the last week.

Maybe it's the stress of adjusting to a new life? Even though it's a happy time, it's still a major change and puts a stress on us. ????

Re: Gaining weight...

Karen I love Bar Harbor. DH and I were there last September. I love fresh seafood, especially lobster, and oh boy my mouth is watering just thinking about it! And Acadia is so beautiful. Did you watch the sunrise or sunset on top of Cadillac Mountain? We have some fantastic sunset pics from our last trip there. I hope you had a great time.

Re: Gaining weight...

I gained a ton of weight since I met DH but since the wedding I've lost at least 10lbs (easier to lose now - not as much stress )

Re: Gaining weight...

I put on about 10 pounds, which I am just starting to lose. I attribute it to:

1. I previously lived at home and it was just my mom and I; we worked opposite hours so I ate a lot of Lean Cuisines for dinner which contain a lot less calories than regular cooked meals. After I got married I cooked at lot more....

2. I lived in a basement apartment until we bought our house five months ago and had no space to do exercise videos. I know this will help change things because I lost 30 pounds 4 years ago and I have Abs of Steel to thank for it.

Re: Gaining weight...

I gained about 10 lbs. after the wedding, and of that I lost 3.
Attribute it to nothing other than sheer laziness and lack of discipline in terms of eating too much of everything.
Nothing seems to motivate me like the thought of wearing a huge white dress in front of almost 200 people...

Re: Gaining weight...

I gained about 10 pounds since the wedding. I was really suprised, I thought it was going to be much more. I recently went back on my diet and lost about 5 pounds.
