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.

In one word...terrible! Things have become so hectic lately! The weather is not helping!

Ugh, me too. I'm hoping to hit the gym every day or at least every other day from now until the wedding!!

I haven't been doing too good -- I keep telling myself I need to eat better and then I don't. The good news is that I haven't gained weight. The bad is that I haven't lost.

I've always been pretty good at going to the gym, though the last two weeks I've been slacking. I have got to get back into my routine. Trainers are expensive, but I just got a coupon for 25% off so maybe I'll look into it....

I'd like to be down 8-10 pounds and have my arms a little more toned by August 6....

I was going to join NYSc in Commack this week and I just got an ad today for CRUNCH gym opening in Haupaggue so I am not sure which one I will join now, NYSC has the jump start program but I always loved the crunch videos so I am torn...any suggestions

Damn you girls put me to shame.

i've started by not eating fried foods and trying to stay away from sweets. That isn't even going well.

I'm trying to lose 5 lbs and tone up. I want to have toned abs!!!

i'm actually doing nutrisystem and i work out 4-5 days a week about an hour of the eliptical and then about 10-15 minutes on my abs (about 500 crunches) and then i do some arm work when in the mood haha. i've lost about 10 pounds in 3 weeks. i also have alot to lose :-/ but i have plenty of time to lose it.. weddings not until a year and a half

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!

I LOVE windsor pilates! I started it years ago and saw immediate results. I still do the workouts, but I dont need the tapes anymore because I know the routines by heart!!! We also have a huge gym set up in our apartment so when I wake up in the morning I try to go straight to the gym.

I do cardio and weights anywhere from 3-5x per week. I was a gym rat before I got engaged, but I'm concerned with having nice arms!

Ok, I joined kick boxing class. I have been going 2-3 times a week. My clothes feel better. Hopefully when the weather warms up, I will start walking. And I have to start with my dumb bells for my upper body.

If you join NYSC, I'll go with you. I'm already a member and need a workout partner to make me go and stay motivated!!

Re: How is everyone doing with getting in shape for the wedding?

Doing the best i can between working 3 jobs and going to school - I have to say - all that work and stress alone is killing my appetite and making me lose weight!!!

I do find time to work out 2-3 times a week - I used to do everyday - I'm going in the opposite direction - unfortunately I won't have the time til after the wedding - oh well - its not like I want to look the best I'll ever look my whole life on my wedding day though!!!

Went back to the gym after a break during the holidays (which lasted longer than planned) today!

Re: How is everyone doing with getting in shape for the wedding?

I was doing well and then with the holidays and moving, I kind of lost it. Then I tried to get back into going to the gym at lunch and I left my sneakers in the office!

I did go back today though and it felt good! I was doing pretty well when I went and tried on my dress (that just needs to be taken in slightly in the chest area and hemmed) my arms looked awesome that it was incentive right there to make sure if I ever got of track, I would get back on.

I'm hoping to start running once it gets nicer out!

I just hope that I can keep it up after the wedding!
