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!

Restarted the coach to 5k program today.last time I started it I only got to week 2. I was going to wait until it got warmer out but then I decided just to restart it on the treadmill.

I just started back on the treadmill last Monday. I've been walking but increasing my speed and incline every day. Next week I'm gonna start the couch to 5k program also. Last time I did it, I also only got to week 2. This time we can do it! Good Luck!!

I did the same. Started walking on the treadmill last week. I sprained my elbow doing the 30 day shred so I figured I'd do go on the treadmill. But yes this time we can definitely do it! Thank you good luck to you too!

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!

Good for you!!!!

Does water with lemon really help you lose weight/shrink your stomach??

bridejackson22 Posted: Mar 05, 2013 05:17 PM

It helps flush out the body, and its a natural antioxidant. I am not sure if it helps shrink your stomach though. I think the only way to do that is decrease amount of food and exercise. I do drink lemon water it definitely flushes you out if your body needs it.

I am SO annoyed. I have been dieting for 1 week and a half and only lost weight last week. My body normally is much receptive. I haven't lost ANYTHING not even an ounce in light 5 days UGHHHHHH. This is why I get discouraged :(

Don't be discouraged. There are a lot of things that change your body and the way it reacts to changes.

Don't feel discouraged there are plenty of weeks I don't lose anything and I did everything I was supposed to it just happens. Our bodies also try to fight fat and weight lose so losing weight is always going to be a struggle. Just don't give up and stick with it your doing great. Just stay positive and know you can do this. :)

I try and my mom tells me that ALL the time but I have a paranoia because I gained like 8 pounds in like 2 weeks once when I didn't weigh every day or every other day! I am obsessive about it, I know but I am pissed :(

Thanks. Definitely better to wait till you feel better to really push yourself.
Sisterhood of ther shaking jeans? Never heard of it.
