So ladies.. What are you guys doing to get in shape for the big Day?
I want to hear whats working for ya and what isn't.
Especially workouts/classes/foods or diets.
Since last December I've lost almost 10 lbs.. at first most of it I lost doing Weight Watchers. Now I just eat small portions every couple of hours.
I bought the Windsor Pilates w/ the sculpting circle. Have to say I love it! It's def helping me lean out, and making my stomach mucles more defined.. (sometimes you can see them)
I don't have a gym membership right now.. but I only have 5 months left to lose the last 5 lbs.
I'm thinking of joining the Gold's gym by me.
Any of you doing personal training?
I need tips to lose the last 5!!!! I'm stuck here right now I really want to get rid of it by Feb for my fittings, and thats like 3 months away!

Re: Gettin in Shape for the Big Day
Alright first I want to say I love halloween, but damn the candy.
Anyway to keep in shape all I have been doing is walking walking and more walking. I go out on my lunch break everyday and walk around the building (I eat lunch first at my desk) I walk the dog every morning and on the nights I don't see fh I do the treadmill. I am at my goal weight, but now I just want to firm things up a bit. So I have started some weight lifting and stuff.

Re: Gettin in Shape for the Big Day
like many of you, FH and I have really long days... so going to a gym just wouldn't happen....
so I bought the Firm step aerobics set at Target... It's always waiting for me.... so there's no excuse!
Doing that program with progressively heavier weights for 3 months, while maintaining a reasonable diet helped me lose 4 sizes over 6 months
I've currently hit a plateau, however, becuase I've been battling a series of colds that really makes working out exhausting... so I can only squeeze out 2X a week
I hope I get better soon, becuase my goal is to lose another 2 sizes!

Re: Gettin in Shape for the Big Day
I am working with a personal trainer in Queens at least 3x a week, it is hard to get in more than that bc of work. I am trying to follow his diet, but is not easy. He wants me to eat more during the day, but I have a hard time finding time to do so.
I havent actually weighed myself, but I am definitely losing some poundage and gaining muscles.
He is big on not eating carbs after 5 pm....it has helped!!!

Re: Gettin in Shape for the Big Day
I started spin classes last week and I lost 2.8 pounds this week! I couldn't believe it. It definitely kicks your a$$ though! I just bought the Winsor Pilates. I hope it's worth it!

Re: Gettin in Shape for the Big Day
I joined Jenny Craig last January and have lost about 26 pounds and a lot of inches! I'm still following that program and I try to get to the gym 2 times a week, which is hard with my schedule. I have about 15 more pounds to go until I hit my goal and I would like to hit that goal by this summer.
