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?
I want to lose 6 more pounds by the end of May, Beginning of June. I have lost 8 already. I am doing WW, but really need to start exercising and drinking more water ( I drink 6 glasses a day, want to try for 8).
The thing is, i want to lose 3 more pounds before I start really exercising because I tend to gain weight (I know its muscle) but it still makes me mad!

What about WW recipes.. If you go to the WW website they give you about 3-4 free recipes a day.. I posted one from today on the recipe board, and there are only 4 recipes for WW on there. If we all pitch in we can come up with a whole lot more and give everyone ideas on what to eat. Like when they say switch up what you eat, we can get great ideas from that!!

Re: 05 diet support group?
hi everyone-
my wedding is in just over 3 weeks!!! i am within 3-4 pounds of my goal weight, so my plan for the next 3 weeks is to hit the gym every day for an hour of cardio and then some light weights. i will also be cutting out bread, pasta, and other carbs that make me bloated - like phase 1 of south beach.
3 weeks...

Re: 05 diet support group?
You know what.. I've lost 6 pounds soo far.. I'm very excited woo hoo.. But last night (i'm doing WW so I had the points) I decided I was in the mood for something, I had a nutty bar from little debbies. I was savoring it. When I was done, I was like that was sooo not worth it!!! Woo hoo!

Re: 05 diet support group?
Dleeny - congrats on going back to the gym...and 1000 crunches???? ouch
Unicorn - congrats on the 6 pounds.
As for me. I received my winsor pilates fat burning workout in the mail today and I did the 50 minute workout. OMG my abs are already hurting. It was an awesome workout. I loved it. Kinda hard to follow at first but with practice I will get it. I am gonna be in pain tomorrow...lol. Like they say no pain no gain.
Keep up the good work ladies.

Re: 05 diet support group?
What happened to this thread-it totally died out since last Friday!!
I just wanted to report in to everyone that I went to the gym after work today :) I'm proud of my four days in a row last week and hope to make it four days this week if not more!!! I must admit to eating some junk food this weekend but did resist eating everything in sight!!
