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?

I'm worried. but if I can stick to it every other day except for the holidays, then I can treat myself on those special days!!!

The holidays aren't hard for me because I avoid things like homebaked goods and I eat properly. On Thanksgiving and Christmas day I'll indulge, but not go overboard that I'm walking around with my pants unbuttoned lol.

Yeah... the other one that gets me is the Power 90 video. I've been doing it for 2 years and my legs are ALWAYS sore the next day!

Re: A little motivation!!!
I just wrote this whole thing and then it logged me out ... very annoying.
Anyway this is a great thread. I know I have been saying for weeks that I am going to get started and haven't.
My motivation (besides you girls) is that I have gained 10lbs in the last 11 months -- all related to this job and the stress it causes (I EAT when i am stressed). For some 10lbs may not be a lot but for me it makes a world of a difference and I just feel like crap (physically and emotionally). For the first time in my life I took clothes out that had been stored away for the season and they don't fit
My other motivation is I am turning 30 next summer and I refuse to be the girl who just let herself go after a certain age.
I know once I get started it will be easy for me to keep up with the good habits I just need to get up off the couch and get started!

Someone asked for a before and after
Before: 143 pounds
AFTER: - 110
OMG !!!! What an amazing difference!! You look so awesome! You've totally inspired me.
I want to lose about 9 lbs, tone up and get rid of my big *** hips and big a s s. have been working out with a trainer 2x a week... always have pretty good eating habits so i just try to stay away from temptation though the holidays will make it hard.
ALL i drink is water. and coffee and tea, but w/out sugar. I drink 3 33oz bottles of water a day

everything is connected to cancer these days
i would worry more about cholesterol w red meat. FH eats a lot of it, and he has high cholesterol. Just try to swap it out for turkey or any leaner meat.
