Anybody have any secrets or tips for diet and exercise and motivation to get going?
I really thought once I got engaged I would be so motivated to get fit, but it turns out I'm not!!!
I only need to lose 5-10 pounds so I keep putting it off, but I am starting to stress about it too....

Re: Exercise and Diet Motivation
This is what is making me dread going to look for a dress! I have to work so much to pay for the wedding that I'm out the house by 8:30 and not getting in till 8. What time do I have?? We just joined a 24 hr gym. Maybe that will help me! Last time I was in a wedding party I had just come back from a cruise and had to get measured with my NEW weight. It was dreadful! I did Atkins and lost like 15 pounds in less than 2 mths. The badside is as soon as you start eating carbs again - you gain it back and then some!

Honeymoon, honeymoon, honeymoon!!!!! The way I look at it my wedding gown really only reveals my arms, but spending 2 weeks on the beach in an itsy bitsy bikini, that is scary!!!!!

Re: Exercise and Diet Motivation
3 weeks ago i started with the weight training every other day and cardio 6 days/week. Changed some of my eating habits, but not very much. what keeps me motivated? stay off the scale girls!!!measure your success visually.
also, i am on a medical school rotation where i assist with autopsies.....that'll do it. I can't eat for the rest of the day (:

It is so difficult for me also.......I never really learned to cook and I eat on the run a lot. I tried weight watchers and I think that plan is great, if only I stuck to it. I want to get back to the gym, but the cold weather has me just wanting to be at home a lot!!!!

Re: Exercise and Diet Motivation
I have no motivation... SO i hired a personal trainer. I go see him once a week. That gets me there at least one other time so I don't feel like a loser when I see him. I told him I go three times but I work almost all weeknights in addition to my full time job and getting up sat. or sun. morning is not my idea of fun. \ Anyway, it was like 175 for 8 sessions at Lucille roberts.
