HELP

I hear ya. I went and tried dresses on and what a reality check. How do you put a size 18 into a size 12 and put them in front of a mirror I just have to get back on my diet and treadmill but with the babies it's hard.

I love this site! I'm so excited to know there are so many people just like me!!!

i went back on WW 3 weeks ago. i lost 5 pounds so far. slowly but surely.....i have been on and off it a zillion times. i once lost 27 pounds on WW! I swear by it! It works for me!
however, i am ALMOST at my heaviest adult weight ever! and i am determined to get back down closer to my lowest adult weight ever by my wedding date (which is a difference of 25 pounds!) i've done it before and i'm going to try my best to do it again. I am not even allowing myself to try on wedding dresses until i lose 10 pounds. 5 down...5 to go!!!

We can do it ladies!!!! And it's nice to know we're not alone! I just have to drag my lazy butt to the gym!!! ugh!!!

Susan, you can do it, especially since you know you've done it before and it's possible. Plus, you've already lost weight so you are on the right track.

Also getting on the WW wagon tomorrow (just in time for the Super Bowl : ).

Congrats and Good Luck to all the ladies trying.

There's actually a 'Slim Down' on the NWR Boards. You should check it out.
But hey, we can start our own group here. I still have 9 lbs. left. You can so do it. First, get rid of all the fattening foods in your house, then go buys lots of snacks that are 3 points or less. The key is to eat when you know you are going to get hungry instead of when you are starving, because then you will eat everything. Also, I eat less meat portions and try to eat more veggie portions as those are 0 points and help you digest faster. Ex.) Breakfast= 1 cup berries, small lowfat yogurt; Lunch= Ham & Cheese on light bread with pickles, lettuce, spinach (anything with 0 points to make the sandwich more filling), side of pepper strips or cucumbers; Dinner=4-5 oz. Chicken, 1 cup spinach, 1 cup green beans, Snack= Hot tea, 7 Reduced Fat Triskets It's actually amazing how much you can eat for the 20 points and now with 35 Flex points each week you can be bad without being bad.

Cindy, if you lose any more weight, you'd be invisible!!! Silly girl!

Historically, most shops charge more for plus sizes. I was a plus sized bridesmaid (though not plus now) three times having worn a 16-20 each time. They charge more because it is considered a custom job. They may not have a pattern to make a special size and therefore charge more.

I think you are determined and you will do what you have to do NOT to have to pay extra. Good luck!

Ha-ha! I only have like 6 lbs. left but it's all in my belly. I have to get my butt to a gym. It's the only way it's coming off.

Yeah, my dad is having a superbowl party. I'm going to being a veggie and dip platter so I pig out on that and not anything bad.

Well, I am proud of myself. I just came back from the gym (FI was kind enough to leave the computer on for me!). I really didn't want to go but I made myself. Just had to share this with you all! LOL!
