2014 Brides 'Official Weight Loss & Keep It Off' Thread

Hi Ladies. I know some of us talked about having an official weight loss thread, so here it is. I think we should start by introducing ourselves, how much we want to lose, how we plan to do it, etc.

I guess I'll start.

I'm Kristin, 25. I am a Weight Watchers Lifetime member, I lost 30 lbs last year. I've gained about 10 back & want to get them off ASAP before I gain it all back like I have in the past. The winter is the hardest time for me to stay on track. My true issue with weight loss is exercise. I HATE IT!! I can never get into it & that is my goal this year. To lose the weight & get toned. My overall goal is to lose 10 lbs & feel comfortable in a bikini. I haven't worn one since high school.

I think each week we should post our weight loss/gain & what we are doing to stay active.

We can do this ladies with the support of each other!

I did day 2 of week three and I'm taking a break from Jillian tomorrow because my back is feeling like I might throw it out(happens every so often) so I'll probably just do yoga tomorrow.

So I have been using the 'Lose It' app on my phone and it was been working for me (slowly but surely).

Way to go! I use that app to track my weight.

Nice! Keep at it! My knee is bothering me and I am sure that Jillian will probably agrevate it but I will see how I feel Saturday if I want to have a Jillian workout or just do some yoga.

What yoga program are you following? I used to be someone decent at yoga, never could balance in a handstand or anything like that but decent. I went to do yoga last friday first time in a while. I could barely do any of the poses I couldn't balance to save my soul. The sad part was I was doing a Tara Stiles yoga video for beginners for building balance lol.

One of my bridesmaids used to teach a yoga class and I just do what we used to do in class.

Restarted our diet on Wednesday after having a cheat meal which threw us off. Been doing good, sticking to it but today came and I nearly had a hissy fit to order dinner but FH stood his ground. Ended up staying on track and I feel good about it! Preplanned my meals for tomorrow so I won't be enticed to cheat! The weekends are always so hard. We haven't started our exercise regimen that we intended to this week because my work schedule was crazy and I could barely move when I got home from exhaustion and FH worked late. 3 days in sounds like a great accomplishment but I am capable of going a week or 2 and then completely breaking it. I am hoping this won't be an issue!! My nephews birthday is Sunday and FH & I already discussed eating beforehand and having a sliver of cake! Easter we won't count/track but we WON'T be going overboard. I am supposed to go in April to look at gowns and I don't feel comfortable or confident. Hoping this time is it!

I weighed myself this morning after 3 days of dieting and only lost .8!! I assume it is because I had my period all week so I am hoping by Monday I see a better number!

Taking it easy all weekend since I got my wisdom teeth out yesterday. Still swollen and in pain. I'm so hungry and want to eat EVERYTHING but I can barely open my mouth. Oh well, hopefully I will lose a few pounds! lol

You can do it keep it up! It's still a loss so that is still great any half a lb or more is awesome!
Mrsmango good luck.
