Terrified of gaining the 'newlywed 15'...

Everyone I know packs on the pounds after their wedding and Im terrified of this happening.

After gaining 4.5lbs on the HM I thought Id get my butt in gear right when we got back. But its easy to fall into a trap where you are snacking a little here and there knowing that you dont have to fit in a dress and be in the spotlight for a day.

Anyone else whiney about this?

It's ok to snack, just be sure to keep active. Now that the weather is getting nicer go for a walk, ride a bike, swim, etc.

I've gained and having trouble losing. I am actually going to go for blood tests tomorrow because I am doing everything right. I gained 12 pounds on my 3 week honeymoon. A few pounds still after that and I can't get them off. I am so fixated and frustrated.

Well, I'm pregnant now, but I too gained 15 lbs on our honeymoon (we were away almost a month).

I have gained some weight after the wedding & have been trying to get it off. It just seems so hard to get into a workout routine without having the thoughts in the back of my head about fitting into a dress! Ultimately I want to loose it though to feel better about myself. My DH has stayed in great shape & I think I should do the same for him

My fat pants are now my skinny pants. I don't even know what a gym is any more. DH just bought me an Ipod so it's back to the gym tonight!! Already I don't want to go but I know after I will feel so much better!

My weight fluctuated a lot in my first year of marriage because of food allergies, not going to the gym - like I plumped up, got skinny, back to pudge, you know.

Be sure to eat protein at every meal and when you hit the gym, weight train - it makes SUCH a difference.

Re: Terrified of gaining the 'newlywed 15'...

me too! I don't know what is happening. My pants don't fit!
I think its a combination of lack of stress, being relaxed, and now it seems like the gym is such a chore.....yech.
I have also been eating a lot of ice cream.
I used to enjoy it, but now I'd rather cook dinner.
EW....I don't want to be this way! i'm nipping it in the bud right away.
