It has just come to my attention that I can go to NYSC for only $27 a paycheck!!! I cant believe I never knew this!

I am seriously considering doing this cause by the time I get off work and get home I am dead tired!

Did you find WW hard to stick to?

i have been involved with ww in some capacity for a little over a year. in a nutshell, i started out 137, got down to a goal of 123, and then decided that i could start eating again like there was no tomorrow. two weeks ago i was 129 and decided that i needed to go back to meetings. so i am back on my way down. looking to be about 118 for my wedding.

i don't think that ww is hard to stick to at all. there are no gimmicks - nothing you can or can't eat. it really is about making a lifestyle change and cutting back on your portions. it really works!!! it's not the same quick fix as other diets like south beach, but it's a plan you can stick to for the rest of your life.

I don't currently belong to a gym, but I go as a guest (pay $10 a session) at my FH's gym in Queens. I can only go there on the weekends. I am going to get a membership when I move there. I was going to get one before but I wasn't sure if it was worth the money using it 1-2 times a week (if so).

I also do a lot of walking in my neighborhood and at this lake by my job at the library in Babylon.

Re: Brides - how are you getting in shape for your wedding?

I go to the gym Monday-Thursday...Then on the weekends FH & I look to do an activity that is fun but at the same time excercise (ie beach volleyball, laps in the pool, rollerblading)...I am lucky to have a FH who really keeps an eye on what he eats, so it is hard for me to go overboard (even though I do )

I have also been watching the carbs I take in, but not religiously...I mean I don't eat too much bread anymore & have stopped the snacking...I also have not had a glass of diet soda in about 2 months...SO far I have lost 10lbs but went on vacation & gained about 5 back....I guess it is time to move back to the gym

Re: Brides - how are you getting in shape for your wedding?

I tried every diet imaginable and I finally broke down and hired a personal trainer. I work out 4 days a week for an hour (intense workout) and I lost 35 lbs in 3 months. I still want to lose more but I am so motivated now. I never used to go to the gym but now I am addicted to it. I could not go all last week because of my knee sprain and I am in workout withdrawl. I can't wait to go back to the gym. Exercise is the way to go!!

I'm just going to the gym and walking on the treadmill on an incline and eating better. I've lost 20 lbs and now I just have to keep it off for another 11 months!!

I run 2 miles everyday... I use to do tae bo tapes and pilates but I needed to change up my workout... I use to do the classes at lucille roberts but I don't feel like paying the per month membership anymore...

I do need to start eatting a little more healthier...

Re: Brides - how are you getting in shape for your wedding?

I've been going to the gym a couple nights a week, doing a little bit of cardio and some weight training. I also walk a lot, now I've just got to stop eating so much cake and cookies

Re: Brides - how are you getting in shape for your wedding?

I just feel so fat. I just joined LA Fitness. I went to a spinning class last night and almost died. Does anyone else go there or want to go there? I used to do tae bo and pilates, but I need to switch it up as well
