I need encouragement!!!!

Hey ladies! So, I got engaged last summer and since I had two years before the wedding, it was so easy to give myself an excuse to not have to diet and exercise yet. But now I see August 2014 slowly but surely (actually, pretty quickly!) creeping up on me.

I tried on a few dresses today, and while they looked very nice, I need to lose weight. What helps encourage you?? What gets your butt to the gym when all you want to do is crash on the couch in front of Real Housewives? What keeps you from gorging on wings and margaritas on Saturday nights?

Thanks, ladies! I know you guys will be able to help!

My main motivation for working out is my wedding dress. It's a trumpet style dress that is very tight to my mid-thighs so I need to have a great upper body. My FH is a health and workout freak so he's been helping me out a lot. I use his Bowflex machine and work out different parts of my body for 20 minutes five times a week. We also watch what we eat but allow ourselves to have a cheat day on the weekend.

Come join our weight loss thread. A bunch of us ladies struggle and we try to keep each other motivated and share our success and failures. I HATE exercising and really struggle because I love food. I try to think about my honeymoon, feeling beautiful the day of my wedding, at my shower, etc. I am a lifetime member of WW (lost 30 lbs) who gained back 7 lbs and though it doesnt seem like much its a b*tch to get off. good luck!

My motivation is the wedding. I lost 50 pounds and gained it all back. I liked the way I looked and want to look like that on my wedding day.

I need encouragement!!!!

Thanks, girls, you're the best! I just introduced myself at the weight loss thread. Looking forward to losing weight with you guys!
