So, I saw this an another board and decided to borrow the idea. On Saturday, we were talking about working out and eating healthy and I thought we could help motivate each other in our weight lose journeys.
Today, I am back on the grind! Operation Get Skinny and Wedding Dress Prep campaigns are in full force!!
I went to the gym this morning before work and did 1 hour of cardio on the elliptical. I will also get back on track with tracking my food on myfitnesspal.com (my screen name is alwayztalkin, if anyone is also a member).
In the 6 ½ years that I’ve been with FH, I’ve gained a total of 65 pounds. Which is crazy!! How did I get so big?? I blame it on a lot of factors – being in love (Love Chub), FH doesn't work out, 4 years of undergrad and then moving to NY for grad school, eating unhealthy and not exercising. I got comfortable and FH loves me for who I am, so the pressure was never there to work out.
Once we got engaged and I saw pictures of myself from our engagement party, I knew I had to do something. In September, I joined a gym and started to eating better. I’m down a total of 18 pounds. Only 47 more to go! I refuse to walk down the aisle and look like a snow beast.
Just thought I would share my story.

I agree, That is awesome that your FH does zumba, I don't think I could pay mine to lol..
Everyone sounds like they are off to a great start, i started WW on Jan 1st and I am down 7.3 lbs already which I am so happy about, AND I just signed up for LA Fitness about a week and a half ago and have been going a lot...we can all get through this together! :)
I get free guest passes so we should all pick a night and do zumba or something fun together!
Congrats on weight lose! Keep it up!!
Erin is going to be teaching Zumba on Feb 10th at 6:30pm. You should come, if you can make it!

Re: 1/30/12 - Gym Check-In
i love that motivation! I can deff sympathize with all of you, growing up as a chubby kid wasnt easy, ive alwasy had a weight issue, and ive never seen those magic numbers of 135 i have always stried to reach, so now that my *** is in high gear and ready to grind,I did a half hour on the eliptical, ran on the treadmill for a half hour and then did a zumba class at the gym for an hour. I wear a heart rate monitor that tells u how many calories u lose, and total for today is 1180 hopefully i can keep this up eventually

Re: 1/30/12 - Gym Check-In
This really is a great idea Erika!!! I definitely need the help. Its so hard and frustrating and sometimes I'm just ready to give up. When I was 18, I could still fit into a size 16 children's jeans and altho thats obviously not practical at this point, I just want to feel healthy and like the way I look again for myself. FH always says he loves me the way I am and I dont need to change, but I feel like I do. I went to look at gyms today and hopefully I'm going to be getting back into an exercise regimen by next week.
I keep getting emails from Total Body Boot Camp (TBBC) so I decided to check it out - they have a 1 week trial for $19.99. Im waiting to find out how much it would cost after that week before I try it out but I will let u ladies know bc I've heard a lot of great things about this place. I need some serious motivation and I think they can definitely give me that little extra!!
