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'd like to lose 8-10. Doesn't seem hard but for me, it's near impossible :-/

I'm hoping to relose the 50 pounds I found again and maybe more though if I only lose the 50 ill be happy.
I'm off to a good start though. I started doing the 30 day shred again today. My legs feel like jello but it feels good.

I have that DVD but have yet to do it...

Have been saying I was going to start for months. I start and break it, start and break it. FH and I have set a solid plan to start on Monday and I am praying that I can be successful this time.

MrsPy I'm guilty of the same. I am restarting couch to 5k for the 4th time last week lol. When I mess up I stopped waiting to correct my mistake I pick back up the next day and just try to keep myself on track. I was really proud of myself this week we had a lot of social functions cause family parties. One at an italian resturant. I filled up on huge plate of salad and water and only took the smallest portaion of penne ala vodka and eggplant rolitini. I made sure I ate good and clean all the other non party meals. I usually slip up at social functions so I was proud to stick to it this time. I have another weekend coming up of social functions so I am going to try my hardest to stay with it.

So far I have lost 4 pounds this week. Looks as though I hit a bit of a standstill. FH & I have plans with another couple for a birthday celebration at Cheesecake Factory. Just hoping all of our hard work won't go down the toilet for one meal/dessert! Gotta live our lives but need to lose weight too! Ate a healthy breakfast and not eating again until CF. Getting right back on track after that meal! Gotta stick with it. I need to lose 18 more pounds to be back to starting weight when I met FH which I was pretty happy there!

Way to go! Can I make a suggestion? Eat a small something before dinner. A salad or banana just something so you don't go there starving and over eat. I find that it helps me when I go out.

THANKS! Def going to attempt it! I don't want to go ravenous because I will go overboard!

So happy. FH & I went out to Cheesecake Factory with another couple and we ate, enjoyed ourselves and went right back on track!! I didn't gain anything PHEW!!! SOOOO proud we only let it be a meal and not turn into a whole weekend of eating. That is a BIG accomplishment in itself. Immediate goal- 8 pounds! I can do this!

Go MrsPy! Yes I am the same way if I go to a place hungry I am ravenous and can not control myself. We had a wedding Friday night. For the most part I behaved myself. I had a few drinks but I drink vodka selzer with lime 70 calories 0 carbs and sugar. I did not go overboard at the cocktail hour I had a stuffed mushroom a salmon puff, a veggie stir fry, some fresh veggies and that was it. For dinner I had the vegetarian otpion which was grilled and marrinated veggies with champagne rissoto. Drank water while at the wedding and had the cake so all in all did not over induldge. Wish I could say the same for the rest of the weekend it was my nephews first birthday at a italian resturant. Thank god we just did pizzas I had 3 slices cause I skipped breakfast knowing I was having cake and pizza that day. I had 2 veggie slices and a white. I took the smallest piece of cake. Of course then we ended up continueing the party at my mother's house and chips, cheese and crackers, penne ala vodka, guacamole, cookies, cake. So diet sabotaged. Next morning back at my mothers to see family and the same thing. But back on track today. Doing a detox cuase I have a food hangover since I am not used to all this sugar and carbs anymore. I did work out friday the day of the wedding but didn't get a chance to with all the family up. So back on it today. I am hoping I didn't gain too much back this weekend.
