On slim down, there used to be a online support group that was started to keep up motivation and encouragement. It seems to have dissolved over time but since we 05 brides are still trying to lose those last few pounds before our weddings, I thought maybe we could give it a go here?
Is anyone interested? I would start the weekly update threads but anyone can post whenever you need a boost or feel like you need some support.

Thanks ladies!!!! No real secret - eating less and working out. I do feel awesome. I have a lot more to lose but I know I can do it.

i've been doing good. i was at the gym 5 days last week. i think what the trick is...i'm doing 50 min of cardio. that sure burns a lot of calories.

shandra...i know exactly how u feel. i was so happy to see the loss on sat. fh kept telling everyone that 'i'm a loser'lol. before i head to the gtg, i hope i'll see another loss.
here's a breakfast idea....have a fruit salad. it fills me up. sometimes i put a cup of cottage cheese with it

Gail - I want to tell you what an inspiration you are to me. Every morning you post you are going to the gym makes me want to go to the gym. Also sticking with workout out while on your plateau was so motivational.
And yes I have my gymbag and I plan on kicking some bootie at the gym later today.

Thanks for the idea Gail. I'm sure my eating on weekends isn't helping either, it seems like I always have parties to go to and we all know how that can be.

Re: 05 diet support group?
Yes core is new and similar to Atkins but lower fat. You can't have sugar and bread, etc. I am doing really well. Thanks for asking
