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!

So FH & I went to AC for the weekend (well kinda just 1 day due the possible snow storm & us being under the weather), and I stayed within my calories & tracked everything in MFP.

I keep saying 'only 6 months till first fitting!', so far so good :)

That totally puts things in perspective that means I have even less time till my first fitting ahhhh lol.

That's great! Any weight loss is great and 5lbs in a lil over a month is amazing. I am the same height and my ultimate goal is anywhere from 110-120 I will feel so much more comfortable.

I did an early weigh in Saturday since I didn't loose according to the scale during the week. I am down another 1.6lbs I've lost 6lbs since January 1st. My clothes are fitting loser, my pants are starting to fall down and sag lol. I was able to wear one of my smaller bra's the other day. (I may be one of the few women that want their boobs to shrink lol). I saw friends yesterday and one of them commented I can tell you lost weight your face looks different and your clothes are sagging. Yay progress slow but progress. 11lbs till my first big mini goal towards my ultimate goal. We got this ladies!

That's amazing!!! I think clothes fitting better is an amazing feeling. It's one of those motivations that keeps you going even if the scale isn't showing progress!

That's great, good for you! Do you only do classes at Lucille Roberts or use the machines as well? I recently joined the one by me and have only done Zumba so I'm just curious what the other classes are like.

I take Pilates 3 days a week (and I signed up for the small group training which is twice a week 1 hr of pilates one day and 1hr of bootcamp another day) I also take body box, fit, and many others. I do also do cardio & some weight training with my sister as well. I don't like zumba so I havent tried it at Lucille

You're not alone!! I don't want these big ol boobs either! Congrats on your loss!! I can't deal with my saggy pants anymore! I think maybe I'll get one pair in an interim size til I hit my next goal!

Omg I hate these big old boobs like I don't understand why someone would pay money to have them that big. Button up shirts forget it, tshirts are crop tops lol. Bra shopping like I rather chew glass lol. I'm totally stoked they shrank I'm like oh thank you god!. haha I know I get up from my desk at work and i'm like picking up my pants so I am not flasshing any butt lol. I have a few smaller pairs I can go to thankfully and a goal pair. Can't quite get the goal pair up all the way yet hips still to wide but they are a size 2 so I can't be too shocked I'm not there yet a month and a half into it. Def get something cheap or onsale in a midsize. I stopped buying nice clothes when I gain the weight I refuse to invest money in a wardrobe of a size I am not comfortable at.

down another .8 for a total of 3.4 since 1/2/14 - it doesn't seem like a lot but for me it is. i lose very slowly & will be happy with 2 lbs a month- which will get me to my ultimate goal by the wedding! i have been to the gym 10 of the last 11 days, which for me is a greater accomplishment then the weight loss. (and the best part is I CAN see results!) I am totally hooked on Pilates :) This thread has been so motivating seeing everyone do so well! Seeing results definitely makes continuing to exercise & eat well so much easier. Keep up the good work ladies!

That's awesome! Remember when you don't have a lot to lose it does become harder cause your body will fight you on your loss. Seeing results is definitely the best motivation :)
