2014 Brides 'Official Weight Loss & Keep It Off' Thread
Original post by Soon2BeMrsMango
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 this week I tried my best to stick to my weight watchers points and went to yoga and zumba at the gym. I just weighed in and I am down 3 pounds Now I just need to do this for the next few months lol
That's awesome! Keep it up!
I've been pretty bad the last 2 weeks I fell off my workouts bad, and diet was not stellar. The only workout I have done is I have gone to pole dancing the last 2 weeks. We had a lot going on between work and family things have been crazy but I got up at 6am this morning and did my workout. So no excuses the workout is done for the day :) So I ended up gaining .8 back but it's okay I'm going to lose what i gained back plus some. My head wasn't in it the last two weeks and I really lost focus of why but I found my way back and my heads back in it :)

Hey ladies I'm new to this thread, I have to start getting into the gym! I'm focusing most on toning rather than weight loss right now to see how that helps. Can anyone share their gym routine with me?

checking in- my weight really hasn't changed but i've been exercising 5-6 days a week and its so awesome when people are telling me how good I look and that they can tell i've been exercising. my family says this is the best i've ever looked which is nice to hear. of course I can find 100 things that are not perfect and need to be tighter,smaller,flatter etc I'm just trying to stay positive and keep it up. not seeing the scale move as much as i'd like is tough.

Your doing awesome Kristin keep at it! Just remember that muscle does weigh more and the less you have to lose the harder it does get. I'm sure you look amazing, don't pay too much attention to the scale.

I do strength training 5-6 times a week and cardio 4 times a week. I do different muscle groups like legs no cardio, back arms abs 30 mins cardio, shoulders chest and abs and 30 mins cardio, legs no cardio, back biceps abs and 30 min cardio, shoulder triceps calves 30 min cardio.
You guys are inspiring me to up my fitness game! I weighed in down another 2 lbs down but it's definitely getting harder to drop them. I've lost 27 lbs in total with occasional workouts. With less than 4 months to go, I need to get my running shoes on! Hoping for another 15-20 lbs down by the time this wedding rolls around
Let's do this ladies!

I've been doing kickboxing on Mondays and alternating cardio and strength training days during the week, but I still feel stuck. So, I am meeting with my old personal trainer this weekend...time to really kick things up!

Thanks for the advice girls. I started Jillian Michaels 30 day shred and got back into the gym for some cardio. I'm at my 6 month mark so I'm hoping to lose a little and tone up.
I have terrible knee problems, any exercises I can use to replace the lunges when they get to be too much?

So I'm down another lb. Weight loss has been slow but at least it is slowly coming off. I have my first 5k of the season in 4 weeks. Fh and I went to Camusett Park this weekend and did some running. I love that park for the different terrain which just walking is an amazing workout. We did 8.23 miles just at the park. So I got a good workout that day my knees aren't happy with me right now but need to get prepped for our 5k and need to change around my workouts so that maybe weight will move faster. Being stuck to treadmills all winter did not help. 8 more lbs till I hit my first goal :)

I got the fitbit and I'm so excited to start using it! I'm a week into the 30 day shred DVD and see a huge difference in my arms already!

had my dress fitting this weekend & the fess needs to be taken in quite a bit! woohoo! I got lots of compliments from people at my shower who haven't seen me in a white so I guess this hard work is paying off!
Ahhhhh that fitting must have felt awesome!! So awesome when you see and feel the hard work pay off!
I haven't updated on my progress in a little while. I'm 27 lbs down and fitting into a size 8 again! SO excited! I posted a new progress picture in my album!

lost a lot of momentum once i was laid off and was unemployed for 6 weeks. since starting my new job it's been a struggle to get back on track. i am up and down and feeling really down about myself lately, after seeing pictures of myself. i put on about 5 lbs, then lost about 3 and now i'm not sure where i stand ... weigh in is on thursday.
i did try on my gown over the weekend and it's huge on me. if i let go of the top, it falls right down to the floor. i ordered a size 16, and the sample in the store in a 14 is also big on me. i think i'm almost in a 12. i know i've made so much progress and it's like i'm so depressed because i took some steps backwards. it's so hard to get back on track.

You looked beautiful at your shower! Don't be too hard on yourself, you've done a lot of work to get where you are! A few steps back happens to everyone. The fact that your gown is a huge indicator! You're doing awesome!!
