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'm very upset with myself-I didn't make it to the gym yesterday b/c I went with FH to two of his neices softball games right after work and I didn't go today because I had a killer headache. I did redeem myself a bit by going running/walking for 30 mins around my development-I just got back I need to get my jiggly butt back to the gym tomorrow!!
Oh and I ate a slice of office birthday cake today

Re: 05 diet support group?
Stick with it! Working out will help you in the end.. I noticed I am actually sitting up straight now.. I used to be all hunched over, it's so weird.. It helps your posture tons. I'm feeling soo much better. Just think of how much better you feel after a workout.. Try doing something small for like 2 mintues like crunches or stretching to work yourself into the workout so you won't dislike it soo much!!!

Re: 05 diet support group?
i haven't been part of this group, but STICK WITH IT GIRLS! i have been doing atkins for three weeks and have lost weight and my arms are looking better from using weights. i've also upped my running---! you can all do it! and let me tell you the stress is helping me too! i have no time or desire to eat! i just plan on enjoying food again and my life on my honeymoon! and just think how good it will feel to have the dress taken in---i live for it now--well not quite, but it is a good feeling. lets all keep at it.

I had to report in that I went to the gym today (42 mins on the elliptical) and I did arms today and then when I got home I was feeling extra energized so I went for a run/walk around my development again-YAY ME!

Re: 05 diet support group?
I know how you feel.. I just got off the treadmill after forcing myself because all I wanted to do was go to sleep.. I said ok, i will just do 5 mintues, and If I still feel tired I will get off and go to bed, I ended up doing the whole routine and I'm on here now.. Doesn't work all the time but sometimes it does!! Hang in there.. Work out when you can.. don't force yourself because the next time will be worse.

Re: 05 diet support group?
Atkins Day Two! I had about 10g of carbs! I know it says you can have 20 but with all the weight I need to lose I figure the less the better!! I went to the gym this morning and did full body weights (arms, legs, chest, back, abs) and 30 min on the elliptical.
