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 haven't been on here in way to long, and since my wedding is officially less than 8 months away I realized I had to get back in the swing of things. So I'm back!

My mom has a fitbit and loves it! I'm hoping my dress comes in soon, because it won't fit and THAT will motivate me

They aren't that expensive either now unlike the Nike Fuel band and the BodyBugg. I love it! It really pushes me and keeps me in track. See the size that we ordered and the pics of me in the dress are motivating me cause I know I want to have the dress fall off when it comes in. Give that alterations woman a workout lol.

So I just finished 4 weeks eating clean and working out and I have seen some good progress so far. I am down almost 6lbs since Jan 1, I lost about 4 inches off my waist, belly, and hips. An inch off my arms, thighs, calf, bust, and butt. I feel good and have more energy so it is all worth it the work that I am putting in. Plus nothing beats the feeling of seeing the number go down on the scale and your clothes fitting better. My jeans are starting to sag in the butt and leg area. :)

I did the Dr. Oz two week rapid weight loss diet. It's almost the end of the two weeks, and I'm not going to weigh myself until Saturday. I want to be surprised. But, today I'm in a pair of pants that haven't fit me in almost a year!!
