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 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!
you go girl!!!
You too! Your before and after are amazing! Itsn't amazing how much a body can change!

I'm going to give up wine!! even though i love it!!!
and I guess i could stop eating steak like 3 times a week!
I heard on the news that red meat is connected with cancer... I'm a huge red meat eater, so i'm scared!
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.
I don't eat a lot of red meat either, but the cholesterol worries me more than the cancer. Shellfish is very high in cholesterol too. So even though it's lower in calories and fat, it's bad for those with high cholesterol!
