HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE!

Original post by mybabylovesmoi

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.

Re: HOLD ME ACCOUNTABLE!

woo hoo! I lost 2 lbs since yesterday! I'm sure its mainly water weight from salt fest this weekend but I'm still psyched. Good for moral!

Yesterday I stuck to my south beach and snacked on hard boiled eggs, one light and fit yogurt, light cheese and salad. Had fish soup for dinner. Wasn't hungry or cranky even when I made FH pork chops and yellow rice for dinner.

I'm also using The Daily Plate on Livestrong.com. It's useful in tracking your calories and weight. You can even plug in your weight loss goal and it tells you how many calories to eat a day.

Down 2 lbs...18 to go till June!

Its veryyyyyyyyyyyy intense (almost ridiculous actually)... I always did workout videos and they were usually between 20 and 40 minutes and a full body workout would be cramped into that time. welllllllllllllll this one is an hour - an hour and a half you do it 6 days a week and rest on day 7.. and its not a full body workout cramped into the hour like other videos.Each day you spend the time working on one section of the body.. They give you directions on which workouts you have to do so like last night i was working arms and shoulders for an hour straight then I had to do the abs video right after.. and you def. feel it after . I havent been doing it for long but I think if you stick to it you will def see big results. I been looking at before and after videos of people on you tube lol so Im hoping it works for me as well. OK ILL SHUTUP NOW

I feel the same way...losing weight was never a problem for me, it's keeping it off! That's why I'm doing it as slowly and consistently as possible this time and taking the time I have to my advantage.

I'm especially nervous about getting closer to the date, I am SUCH a stress eater!!!

ETA: Evita! We are like RIGHT around the same wedding date and joined this site the same day...we will keep eachother motivated up until JUNE 2011...and BEYOND! MUAHAHAHAH
