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?
Guess I'm poppin in with you gals now!! My dress was a little snug so I have no choice but to drop a few before the big day I think all the stress was making me eat more!!
My goal is 15-20 pounds (better safe than sorry!) by October, since thats when my first fitting is. I am going to cut out snacking (except for healthy stuff), eat smaller portions and try to start walking on the treadmill with weights (or maybe walking in the pool since the resistance is great for you!)
Wish me luck!!

Re: 05 diet support group?
I need help girls... I have not lost a pound . I was going to the gym 3-4 times a week....feeling really really good about it too! I was slimming down even though the scale didn't say it. The past couple of weeks I've stopped going to the gym to concentrate on our move and have been eating everything in sight. I've got less than 3 months to lose some weight. I'm so sick and tired of people saying you look fine. Your FH loves you for who you are...blah blah blah. My thing is I don't. I want to feel comfortable in my body and in my gown. I know if I don't...I will not be happy that day.

Re: 05 diet support group?
wow...I totally forgot I started this thread.
I cant even remember where I left off.
Im still stuck at 165....but with my new job Ive been doing alot more physical activity and dont have the opportunity to eat as much so Im hoping it brings me down a bit.
My goal is 145 but I think its unrealistic. Im staying positive by recognizing that the 15 pounds I've lost already is incredible and the fact that its stayed off is whats makes me proud.
Don't give up ladies....we can do it!

Re: 05 diet support group?
If anyone is have a tough time losing weight I would suggest Usana Health Sciences. My fiance and I were introduced to Usana about 6 weeks ago and I have lost about 10 lbs. and he about 15lbs. I have to tell ya girls I feel great! Still have about 15 lbs to go. By doing the vitamins and Macro Optimizers/nutrition bars along with moderate exercise. I have found it really easy to the weight. As I mentioned before, we were introduced to Usana thru my fiances friend. At first I was skeptical, as with anything else I have tried. But now I am a believer. If you goto http://healthyny.usana.com and take the free health assessment on the site, it will recommend what you should be doing. Ordering is easy online and it will come in 4 days in the mail. Good luck all. :)

Re: 05 diet support group?
I finally lost all the weight I needed for the wedding- stress will really help here, believe me. You are too busy to eat! So hang in there brides- you will all look STUNNING on your wedding day no matter what.
Now for the one month update AFTER the wedding. My roll is back, I worked out like once last week and the honeymoon food(all-inclusive) was amazing. I am trying to get back into it after gaining back about 8 pounds.
WE CAN DO IT!

Re: 05 diet support group?
HOw is everyone doing???? Today I upped my workout... I am getting to the gym at 5:45 from now on and staying until 7:30. I had such a great workout this morning and I didnt want to leave..... seriously! This morning I did full body weights for about an hour and then 10 min on the treadmill at a 9 incline and then 25 min on the elliptical. I am going to try to go at night to do the treadmill again.
I am going to continue this routine for the next 2 1/2 weeks. I hope it works!!

Re: 05 diet support group?
I think I'm the laziest person. I drive home all psyched to work out after work. I get home and what do I do? Cook dinner for FH and myself and then plop down on the couch
I should be ashamed of myself. Of course FH is like 'you are beautiful, blah blah blah.'
Sad thing is, when I graduated college three years ago, I was 116 pounds. Now, I'm 149. How the heck does that happen? You would think that the wedding would motivate me to move my butt, but I have NO SELF MOTIVATION!!
Ladies, I'm calling out to you to help me get my butt in gear for the next 26 days! HELP!!!!!
