Re: GIRLS I AM DEPRESSED

first of all relax- you have plenty of time

now- you need to make a plan that you can stick to

and join a GYM- even if you only get a 6 month membership

maybe join weight watchers?

I have a plan that I followed that isn't too 'diety'

FM me if you want more info

I lost about 20 lbs in 2 to 3 months

you can do it- but the gym will be the key

first of all relax. you have some time to lose weight if you want. I have used Jenny Craig before and it was simple as could be and not that expensive it worked for me and my lifestyle. I know a lot of girls do weight watchers and it works for them too. i like jc b/c i dont have to think of cooking or what i want to eat today its there and the food is delicious. Yum Yum i actually think i might start soon to lose some more wieght for my wedding. good luck.

I too know how it is to be heavier than usual, but I am happy w/ my extra weight. You on the other hand just relax, you still have time. Dedicate yourself to strict diet, or workout plan. Whatever you decide cheer up it will be okay!

we ALLLLL need this advice!!!!

my wedding is in 6 months - and i would really like to shed some pounds too. i lost weight for my friend's wedding and the summer added it all back to my gut.

so i know what you are feeling. but in my opinion, you get thinnest in the shorter time frame.

just stick to something and YES, get into the gym!

Re: GIRLS I AM DEPRESSED

You have time - don't let being depressed keep you from taking action! At times I've gotten so anxious about being heavier that I actually do things that work against me like not workout or eat badly.

I totally agree on the gym tip - doesn't need to be the gym nec. but it does need to be something you can do almost every day without fail.

Re: GIRLS I AM DEPRESSED

I'm sorry! me too!

Get a buddy. Last night my best friend told me 'call me tomorrow after you go on the treadmill..if not, don't bother'

She won't talk to me until I go on the treadmill. That's a big motivation!

You have plenty of time. #1, cut out the bread. You'll lose pounds just from that!

Re: GIRLS I AM DEPRESSED

I honestly can say that weight watchers is a great program. Just in a month I lost over 15 pounds. The key is working out but when I was on weight watchers I never worked out. I think the key for me was drinking the water. Even though all I do is drink water I wasn't drinking enough.

Good luck and I'm sure you'll look beautiful if your skinny or not!

Re: GIRLS I AM DEPRESSED

don't worry you will get it off. watch what you eat, know fast foods, drink water in the water, no soda, but the gym is the key..

Personally I have this compulsive thing where I logically know I do not want to do something (like eat a candybar) but my little brain gets stuck on 'EAT A CANDYBAR' and I need to distract myself to get past it. Honestly, the food is a bit better than the smoking used to be for me. Thankfully no ciggy's for 5+ years now. Not that my brain doesn't occasionally say 'DON'T YOU WANT TO GET A CIG?' I just tell that part of my brain to shut the **** up!
