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 recently switched from Planet Fitness to Retro Fitness. I never asked if they have personal trainers there to show you how to properly use the machines. Gonna look into that. Thanks! :)

Definitely look into it! I'm at NY Sports Club now and they have 1 hour per day that a trainer hangs out by a circuit of machines and makes sure you use them properly. Every now and then they have demos also. I found this out from a pamphlet lol...I'm never there when the trainers are!

Congrats! Just go for long walks on the beach, the sand is a killer for the legs. There is easy ways to incorporate fun workouts into vacation< swimming, golf, even miniature gets you moving at least. Have fun on your vacay!

So, I've been doing 'team beach body' for 4 weeks now (I'm a 'coach' if anyone has questions!) and I'm down one inch everywhere!! On each arm, thigh, and hips! I'm so happy some hard work is finally paying off. Sooo happy about my arms!

Congrats Simonenarissa! I finished week 2 of c25k starting week 3 tonight. I didn't lose anything this week but my stress has been through the roof lately so that might be throwing things off. I love when I see hardwork pay off. Even though I don't feel it cause I still am not happy with my body yet. One of my friend's said I look skinnier. Which made my day a little bit.

Ladies what happened?! We have dresses to look FANTASTIC in!!
I'm still doing team beach body so aside from the inches that I lost which I posted about before.. I did a 3 day juice cleanse with FH (and a 2 day prep beforehand) and in the 5 days that I was involved in the cleanse I lost 5 lbs!! And FH lost 8 (ugh men).

And then I went to Atlantic city for a night so lets pray when I get on the scale tomorrow it's still off!! I worked out today for over an hour to make up for it lol

I was just thinking today that no one's posted in a while! I was too lazy to go searching for the thread, hahha

Tomorrow I'm starting Jillian Michael's 30 Day Shred...hopefully it won't kick my butt too hard on top of my running!

I got to see my dress last week and I'm so proud of myself, I love the definition that's showing in my shoulders and chest in my strapless dress. I felt so proud! Can't wait for more results! Stay strong ladies!

I've been avoiding this thread, but it looks like everyone is doing well!! I started weight watchers again on Monday and every morning before work I go on the treadmill for an hour. I've just been walking to ease myself back into exercising. Hopefully within the next few weeks I will add some jogging into my routine and also some arm and ab exercises.
Keep up the good work ladies!!!

Oh gosh I'm gonna wait until Monday to start it...we're going away Fri-Sun to AC so it'd be silly to start today, I completely forgot. Plus I have the worst cramps of my life, don't need extra pain this week!

I tried Insanity and felt like I was going to die, so I figured this might be a little less intense.

WAY TO GO! Some mornings when I am not in the mood to work out I try to at least go for a walk. I figure something is better then nothing!

Hey ladies, So I got back from vacation Sunday feeling really bloated and fat. Definitely deviated from the diet. Got sick sunday and still battling once again another cold so took me off my workout routine. I am afraid to get on the scale to see how much I gained during vacay. Once this cold goes away I am back on it. The diet kicked back into effect on Sunday though when we got home.

A few bad meals won't kill you. Don't stress it! Just keep swimmingggg. (I wish there was a fish smiley so this made sense)
