How is everyone doing with getting in shape for the wedding?
I have 5 months, and I started going to the gym 4 days a week. I want to up it to 5 days. I have been going for 3 Weeks now. I have been eating healthy for two months. I did measurements of my body and weigh myself every month to see results. Very little results so far, but I just started. I have always been big into working out, but of course I got lazy in the summer and took off from the gym for about 7 months. BIG MISTAKE!
I put on a bathing suit the other day, and I was not happy. I need to be in shape for my HM.

Sounds like you are doing great!!! I was thinking of using a trainer, just to learn a few new rutines. Alot, of trainers do not know what they are doing. Or alot of the male trainers, flirt the whole time they train. I watch them at the gym and laugh. I need to find a good one, I guess I could try a few out. DO you go to a gym in Suffolk County?
I work overy nights, and my eating schedule is all screwed up. It is really hard to eat perfect with my hours.

I just started getting back in the gym. It is hard with my work schedule changing so much.

Personally - I like Windsor Pilates. After just a few workouts - I feel A LOT better about the way I look. I have done them before and am going to start up again this week hopefully. (Bad stomach virus last week)
But if you are looking to tone your stomach especially - I would suggest it...and the best part - the tapes are only 18 - 20 minutes long each!

Aside from these past few days I have been doing great. I am going to try to get back to classes tonight, but I have been sick for about a week and forget about breathing. but I have to get back tonight. Even if I have to take it a little easy.

Working out is definitely not a problem for me. I workout about an hr 6 days a week. Soon I'll be adding an evening cardio workout because FI and I just bought an elliptical machine for our apt.
My problem is food. All day I eat healthy and then that half hour or so between getting home and dinner always kills me because I snack on everything. I need to get that under control though because my weight loss has stalled completely. I feel like if I could just stop snacking before dinner I would've lost so much more by now. I'm lucky I have a little over 7 months to go.

Re: How is everyone doing with getting in shape for the wedding?
Pretty good. Ive lost half of the weight that I wanted to lose and Ive been trying to keep up with my cardio routine.
I am on WW.
I just started using a trainer for the last 8 weeks before the wedding, for that extra boost. NYSC has a great program for 8 weeks. Its called kick start. They set you up with a trainer and its 5 sessions spread out through the 8 weeks. She helped me design my routine and then meets with me to check on how I am doing. In about two weeks we have another session where I will up my weights. I think it is extremly helpful and you get the bonus of a trainer without the high cost.

Re: How is everyone doing with getting in shape for the wedding?
I went from being too skinny at 100lbs to about 128lbs now.. I want to get down to about 120 and I'm 5'6' and I hate the gym.. I promised the FH that after the new year I would be in the gym 3-4 days a week and was really good for awhile.. but I haven't gone in 2 weeks.. I am going to get a trainer maybe later this year and then 3 months before the wedding.. and if all else fails, I am starving myself 6 months before the wedding

Re: How is everyone doing with getting in shape for the wedding?
Wow.. You girls have your stuff together! I am gradually trying to get in shape. Im going to try something out where I will go through a gradual weighltloss regime in phases.
Right now I am in phase 1, where I havent yet gotten back to the gym, but I am eliminating all toxic foods like junk food, easing up on my carb intake- drinking green tea everyday and incorperating salads into my diet. ( I am NOT a salad person by any means)
Phase 2 - Prob in a week or so. I will return to the gym and do strictly CARDIO. I have a very muscular body & most of my body weight is muscle & my chest area--ughhh I hate it.
Phase 3.. I want to start jogging.. As the weather becomes warmer, I would like to jog at least 2 miles a day, & hitting up the gym for some light weighlifting (to tone up - especially my upper body/arm/chest area)
Phase 4 I want to begin about a month before my wedding - Low carb, high cardo workout plan. About a week before , I want to intake at least a gallon of water a day. I want my body fully hydrated for the wedding.
I dont know if this all makes any sense, but I really dont want to crash diet. I do it all the time before I go on vacation & them when I am ON vacation, I cant even enjoy what I eat because I am so used to being on a diet & I feel guilty about everything I want to eat.
I hope this regime works out because I have 6 more months to get in shape & loose the weight

I actually just started my diet yesterday. I did the SB diet October of last year and did very well on that, but I am just trying to lose the extra little weight I want to get off before the wedding. I am hoping that I will be at my goal weight by June and then just work on maintaining it for the wedding.

I'm doing good. I started january 3rd at the gym with a personal trainer. I've been eating better (except sundays ). i haven't lost weight, but i'm looking more to tone than to lose weight. So since i've started, i am down a pants size

Horrible. I do good for two weeks and then bad for a week. I've barely gotten to the gym because I feel like I still have so many vendor appt. at night. I've tried eating better and have lost 5 lbs but I need to start hitting the gym.

I am not doing as good as I would like. I feel like I still have some time left so its not like hitting me yet. I am thinking about starting southbeach diet (posted yesterday) so that I can change my diet lifestyle. I Just have to get my azz to the gym and then I'll be all set, hopefully as it gets closer I'll get better about it, I'd like to be the healthiest, best shape at my wedding

Happy to say... lost 4.2 pounds last week alone on WW! (total of 5.2!) (although, I may have gone a little overboard yesterday for V-day... and my FH's taking my to my fav restaurant on Saturday night... so I may be skipping Monday's meeting!)

I haven't been doing to well the past couple of weeks... I need to get myself back on track. I was sick and then the snow - I just haven't been going to the gym like I was... I am going to have to get serious real soon... There's only a little over 3 months to go!
