I need some motivation... and some help!

Original post by JoanneAndJustin

You all... ever since I got engaged I've been eating like I'm on death row and it's my last dang meal. I needed start eating better before I got engaged... and now it's just worse!!

No way I'm even stepping INTO a dress shop before I lose at least 20 lbs., and my plan is to start looking for my dress in March 2009.

I plan to join a gym/personal trainer in the fall.. but when the junk food craving strikes I need some good substitutes... so please... what do you all substitute for 'bad' food... my weaknesses are chips, anything salty with dip and I'll eat it all day.

Also, if money is an issue as it for all of us, sparkpeople.com is great alternative to WW and best of all it's FREE!

And as for you Sora, we gonna have to find you some recipes where covertly vegetables are inserted!

You're such a riot! You're not a fat a$$!!! I'm gonna be brave and put it out there. I am 5'2 and weight 170 pounds. I have a muscular build so come of those pounds are hidden well on me, but NOW it has some to a point where I feel the fat on top of my muscle and I hate it! But regardless I will be all up in your ish! and I expect to be up in mine!

edited cause I am a dumb azz that can't spell!



My name is Joanne and I weigh 146 lbs. I'm am 5'2' also! I don't work out though, so it's all fat and grossness up in here.

I just feel gross lately... and I figure I have enough time before I get married to look all nice. I am going to post before photos in my album this week... and keep a weekly pictorial.

I wouldn't blo anyone except FH!!

I am not active at all. I sit all day at work, and I sit all day at home, the thought of working out makes me sweat... it's all relative... I saw your pics, you are beautiful!

I'll show a full length pic of me here, hang on... In addition to losing weight, I need a better bra... I am obviously wearing one that doesn't fit.

Re: I need some motivation... and some help!

You are going through the same thing as many of my brides go through. Either they eat to much or to little. Do not think of a diet just think of your helth. You are just starting out in life and you do not want to jeperdize your helth. Tke one day at a time. Do not get on the scale until you see your cloths fitting you the way you want them to. Please e-mail me for any advise on your wedding.

Re: I need some motivation... and some help!

I'm Vanessa and I'm 5'2. On any given day i weigh between 135-140. In high school I was 115lbs soaking wet and people used say I was too skinny and that I needed to gain weight. College and birth control did just that and now when I run into people from the past, the first thing they say is, 'You gained weight, u got chunky!' How obnoxious is that? Although I don't consider myself fat neccissarily, in my head, I long to have the body that I had in HS. I was so energetic, I felt good about myself, and my metabolism was out of this world. I would be content at 125. I don't think 115 would fit my frame anymore, and i would hate to lose my azz. FH might take my e-ring away if I lost that!

ETA: I feel stuck in the middle and alone in my weight loss because when I complain to people who weigh more than me, they dismiss me and say I have nothing to worry about but then when I talk to people who are smaller than me they'll say things like, 'oh yea, u could afford to loose a few pounds.' ughh it creates an internal conflict in me..

(mini rant) Birth Control is the devil I went the shot/Depo provea the gyn did not tell me that most women gained 20 lbs on it, never use the shot method, it's convenient but you will gain a lot of weight!

Re: I need some motivation... and some help!

and by the way, windybride, u look great. In fact, I think all of u ladies are beautiful (even the ones I haven't seen, but even just personality wise). I'm happy that we're all supportive of each other in the effort to making ourselves more likeable to ourselves...that sounds weird but i'm sure u all know what I meant to say!

When I was in high school this girl was complaining that she had to get a size 2 because she couldnt get her size 0 jeans closed. I wanted to smack her. She had not an inch of fat on her.

Goldie, I'm in the same boat as you...in average weight range, but just not happy with the way I look. I'd be happy at 115-120. I'm 5'4'.

ohhh 5' 11/2' here biotches!

and as for boobs, let's NOT go there! Considering for my height and weight you'd think i'd have a little something (Hi my name's Alyssa and i'm in the itty bitty t itty club) but i can thank BC for the little bit that i got .

i'd like to get back down to 125-130 so i have about 30 lbs to lose!

So how bad is it when I was dying to get Wii Fit and then kept using it and having fun using it BUT when it kept telling me I was GAINING weight, completely hated the thing after haha. i hate excercising but i do enjoy bowling. I've got some serious guns now lol
