Hey ladies. After the thread Melissa posted yesterday about are you where you want to be in terms of weight for the wedding, I got really motivated and decided to make some changes. I eat the WORST food on a daily basis and I want to start taking care of my body more. I'm not proud to say that I consume fast food close to 4x's a week sometimes and it's taking a toll on my skin. I gave up soda about 8 weeks ago and I don't really miss it, so i'm thinking these other sacrifices won't be so bad. So this weekend I'm going back to the right foods... yogurts, fruits, raw veggies and grilled meat.
Let's help each other get motivated to look the best we can possibly look on our wedding day... whether that means losing a few pounds, taking better care of our skin, etc.
What changes do you want to make? Have you made?

good luck with it!!!
FH & I are doing WW and doing good. We are eating right and no fast food at all. We also joined the gym. We both gained so much weight over the summer and now have to get it off.
I lost 31 pounds on WW, I swear by it. I need to get back in that mind frame before all the weight comes back... I've already gained back 8 of them
Yea its great! We can eat whatever we want but its just in moderation. We went to the store together picked up so much food. The WW food i must say is really good! We went to Applebees and I got the WW dinner. Small but good. We didn't actually join, I bought the books and we are weighing ourselves. I did it years ago and just remembered what to do. We are motivating eachother. My mother laughs because on some things in the house I wrote the points on them on the box

how long did it take you to lose it?
I only did good on it when i had someone go with me. otherwise i fail
I took me a complete year to lose it all, and I maintained it for 2 years... then towards the end of the summer, it started to crawl back on again. I busted my *** to lose it and I don't want to be in that place again... it's easier to lose 8 than 30. I SWEAR by WW. It helped me do it the healthy way and the right way
I know i lost 28 lbs in 2 mths with WW.
i have my weigh in paper and im like WHY CANT I DO THAT NOW?!!?!
and now i have reasons to lose it!
but my motivation is-
NYE im going to Miami- so i need to look how i did -bc im going to a very upscale yacht party i need to look Hooot!
Go back. I'm doing it. It's like a refresher for me!

Thanks!! It was long and hard!!! I feel like it took forever to come off --
at first it was just the diet, and then, i'm not going to lie, i met FH and um, well, he helped me burn lots of calories. now i keep it up with jazzercise 3 - 4 times a week.

I did. The girl I FM'd about it a few months ago gave me the price... it's way out of my price range, but it's simply gorgeous! I'm glad you got it!!!

Thanks. it's not about being heavy, it's just about not feeling comfy in my clothes that have fit fine for the last 2 years. I mainly want to just tone up my arms, that is the only thing i'm really unhappy about and fitting into my clothes comfortably again

Re: A little motivation!!!
wow yelley, your before and after pics are great!! good job! I lost over 50 lbs on WW, but since moving in w/ FH, I found 15 of those. i rejoined WW again, but have been slacking. my motivation returned again though when i tried on the sample of my dress again, and the back wouldn't zip up all the way (even though it did w/out a problem when i ordered my dress ) i have my first fitting next month, so this week i've been super good with food, and making sure we both go to the gym at least 3 times a week. it *****, but it's gotta be done.

Re: A little motivation!!!
yelley you look awesome!!
i need to tone up my arms..i've always been really self-conscious about them..i think it's because they're somewhat muscular but in pictures they just come out looking flabby
i've tried to change my eating habits. i no longer get a bacon, egg on a roll for breakfast. instead i eat a couple slices of wheat toast and sometimes i'll throw in an egg. i'm also eating more veggies and fruit. i fell in love with the banana-walnut Gnu bars and have those as a little snack in the afternoon. a few days ago, i joined NYHRC! i'm so excited. their 'knockout bride' class has been kicking my b*tt lately and i'm thinking about also taking their 'bridal boot camp' class. i going to try to get to the gym at least 4x a week...hopefully more.
