Did it become easier to focus on geting fit/ losing weight once you were engaged? I cant seem to stay on track to save my life. In my defense I am in grad school til 9 30 ever night and work all day beginning at 8 am. i am hoping that it will be easier once fh moves in (6 weeks) and I have a ring on my finger (maybe 4 weeks). what was your experience?
well i've wanted to lose weight so i look great on my wedding day..that really motivated me, and once you start it becomes habit..don't worry im so used to working out daily that its never a big struggle..im almost at my goal weight so im thrilled..that also helps motivate me!
I gained alot of weight when I quit smoking. I never had to exercise or watch what I ate and I was still a size 2. Well now its a different story. All I do is look at pics of me in my wedding dress and that is the biggest motivation I could ever have
I couldnt focus on losing weight while engaged....honestly, i have had my best track record with the gym since the wedding...

I thought it would be super easy to stay focused after becoming engaged... boy was I wrong. Lots of people lose weight when they are stressed out... I don't...I'm a stress eater. Seriously, when I am really stressed out, or upset (like when things go wrong) I turn to ice cream and chocolate.
And... I found it was ALOT easier to lose weight when I wasn't living with FH. He's skinny and cane at what he wants without gaining much... I on the other hand seem to gain weight just by looking at food. When FH wants a late ngiht snack I have a really ahrd timew just sitting there and watching him![]()

My FH is a fit guy too....I had to learn the hard way that I cannot eat crap food and stay thin! I've gained a lot of weight in the 8 years we have been together..Needless to say, I thought the same thing about being engaged and losing, lets just say I had over a year and now I am finally focused and ready...5 months before my wedding!
I have lost 37lbs in the last 2 months and I just hope to keep this pace up!!
Nope, I have such a hard time, I feel like I have so much other stuff going on with DD and planning that the gym gets left in the dust one too many times!!!
Not for me!! I told myself when we first got engaged (a year and a half ago), that this was it - I'm going to get focused and get in shape for the wedding........ Yea, I'm the same weight I was then, and i've decided not to stress over it. I'm working on my arms and to shapen them up a little for the strapless dress, and eating better - but with less then 2 months to go, not worth the stress cause I just don't have time!!

It just has not been a priority - I've been so busy and stressed out! It's very hard to lose weight when stressed because your body is like on overdrive. I say YOGA all the way :)
