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.

Re: 05 diet support group?
Hi Kim! I fell off the WW wagon last week- all those graduation lunches! But I got back on yesterday, counted points and did an hour on the elliptical. I noticed when my routine gets interrupted, thats when i have a hard time.
WW points girls, do you eat extra points when you exercise? My hour on the elliptical is worth 5 points. Do you eat those or just let them go?

I used to just let them go, helps with the weight loss, I would say if you are REALLY hungry to eat them, but otherwise don't.
I seem to be doing okay, I was down 4 lbs at the gym yesterday from last month, but I want to lose more.
Been going to the gym and trying to eat right.

Ahhh, ok. I wasn't sure if I should be eating them or not- I didn't want my body to go into starvation mode and not lose weight. I will just eat them when I get extra hungry.
Aw, Shandra! How are your clothes fitting? That seems to be a better indicator for me than the scale.

Clothes are a little better and the real true test was my mom and grandma saw me in a bikini that I bought and thought it looked great!
It's more my stomach than anything else, I can feel the muscles, there is just a little bit too much flab over them.

Re: 05 diet support group?
I haven't weighed myself lately, but my boss said it looks like I got skinnier on vacation, so maybe I lost some.
