i need to drop a few lbs and i keep putting it off... lol

Anyone else in this situation? My wedding is in 77 days and I am still not motivated enough to be eating and working out like I should be!!! I am not trying to lose too much, so I still have plenty of time...but I don't understand why I can't seem to get on track... lol just wanted to vent and see if anyone else was stuck in a rut too!!!

I have def been off the diet and not working out. In fact, I came home last night and ate a whole box of macaroni and cheese I am going to the gym today! And going to try and watch what I eat. There really isn't that much time left. What has been my motivation is thinking of having to wear a bathing suit at our honeymoon, taking pictures and such.

Yes, I can sympathize...my wedding is in 50 days and I'd like to lose 5lbs...I just can't get motivated to do it.

OMG. . . I am also in the same situation. I am sitting here on the couch - watching tv and typing on here. I don't even want to get out of my pjs. And to make things worse - FH and I went to Target last night and bought all sorts of candy and bad food - so I am sitting here with a bag of peanut m&m's next to me.

We need HELP!!! I thought the wedding/e-party would motivate me but NO!

Haha that is my bigget motivation too!!! I was looking at pictures of skinny girls in ADORABLE bathing suits on the Venus bathing suits website last night... and I was like ... holy crap, i gotta pull it together soon!!!

I plan on starting a serious diet Monday morning... I'm just gonna put pics of caribbean islands everywhere in my house to remind me

I know the feeling. I keep telling myself that I only need to lose 25 pounds and then I see Easter Candy and I eat it. IDK what's wrong with me.

Re: i need to drop a few lbs and i keep putting it off... lol

I just started loosing weight! I had a very stressful month and normally that leads me to eating junk, and some days I did, and it has also kept me out of the gym, I had no time to go. I started eating oatmeal (lower sugar oatmeal) every morning (that kept me full for a good 5 hrs) then I had progresso chicken noodle soup for lunch. Dinner, I would try to stay somewhat healthy but I wouldn't say perfect and I have had some ice cream and I can't believe it but I have lost 14 lbs over the past 1 1/2 months! I have also been staying away from artifical sweetners (heard that it causes u to gain weight) and alcohol.
Good luck to you all!

Ladies I know exactly how you feel. I have been engaged since July of '07. You would think that would motivate me but yet, I have only lost 5 pounds since then. I don't understand what is wrong with me. My wedding is 140 days and I am really mad at myself for not getting serious sooner. I have been on track the last two weeks and I think I am focused enough to lose some more but it is really hard. Maybe we should keep this thread going and use it is a support system for losing weight.

I am in the same situation. I always get motivated in the nice weather so I am hoping that once it gets nicer out I will be more motivated to go jogging or play tennis. My goal is after the engagement party to really start working towards my goal weight and drop 25lbs.

Ironic...I am watching ' Bulging Brides' right now on WE TV.....They have 6 weeks before their wedding & don't fit into their gowns....SO, it could be worse...
