HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE!

Okay, I faced the music today. Weighed myself and plugged it into my online weight chart. Since my last entry on October 12th, I gained 13 lbs. Coincidently, that is right around the time we got our second puppy and I stopped going to the gym.

I plan to start dress shopping in June (one year before the wedding) and I want to lose 20 lbs by then. This is a little less than 8 lbs a month. Completely doable right?

I'm doing South Beach. Today is the first day. Hardest will be giving up alcohol and BREAD!!!!

Wish me luck and if I don't do updates, ask what's up! I need to be held accountable!

eta: I want to lose 25-30 for the wedding but the 20lbs before dress shopping.

Good Luck!

That's not unrealistic. They say you should lose more than 2 lbs per week - it's a good pace to lose weight and to really help keep it off.

I'm on the same boat with you though - just got back from Vegas and now since I don't have anymore excuses to go crazy, it's back on the WW bandwagon. I'm hoping to order my dress by the end of May, beginning of June.

Yes, I'm definitely trying a healthy steady weight loss this time. I'm a habitual crash dieter and DUH I always gain it back. To be honest, I'd probably wait till may and crash diet for month but I want my body VERY healthy from now till the wedding so FH and I can try to get pregnant right away!

GOOD LUCK!!!

I planned on starting WW today but i have a dentist appt and can't go weigh in during lunch. BUT you've got lots of support on this board-lots of ladies are doing various types of diets!!

Good Luck Hun!!

I know you can do it!!

I will be on your BUTT like what!

How do you work out? like do arms one day, legs the next, etc? What do you do for arms?

I love cardio but despise weight lifting and anything slowww like yoga. The only exception is stomach excercise like stability ball. I know weight lifting is neccesary though

Also - do you know your picture comes up if you do an image search for de seversky???

LOL does it really?

HAHAHAHAHAHA

I'll FM you with my workout info!

Also, you dont need to take out bread completely out of your diet. Carbs are very important in your diet! Just minimize them and try not to have them with your dinner.

Yup, I like south beach because it lets you have whole grain breads after the first 2 weeks. I'm on on the first day of phase 1 so in 14 days I can have a slice of toast say with my hard boiled eggs.

14 looong days

i think 8 lbs a month is totally doable..me on the other hand was going for 4lbs a week and it obv didnt work out

but good luck girl...keep us posted!
