Well I do exercise 6xs a week (sometimes 5x)... I do classes Or run 3miles or elliptical...
I am trying to Eat healthier now....
I eat around 1400 calories per day (tops) =)
and I feel good because i am eating the right amount of food...
Will send you a FM =)


ETA= Also I drink around 10cups of water per day. NO RICE, NO REG BREAD/PASTA, Everything Whole wheat.... Oh and NO Red meats....


BTW I am not 100% into my diet sometimes I go totally the opposite way but I am doing great!! =)

aw all u gotta do is find something that works for you and stick with it. I like VCanizalez idea about the calories per day.. that way you are still eating what you should and u dont feel like ur starving urself. I have a food log where i write down everything i eat. It helps because I don't want to eat that cookie or bag of chips because I don't want to write it in my log
good luck

counting calories really work - i lost weight that way - i used www.thedailyplate.com to track what i eat - and you can also input your workout for the day

Ugh I know how you feel! It's so easy to put on that weight- TOO EASY! I had my first fitting this week and I looked like a heffer in my dress. I was so upset, but since then I've been trying to eat better and walk during my lunch break everyday! You can do it!

My mom also refuses to purchase a dress for the wedding until she loses weight. So far she's lost about 25 lbs! She's been doing so well!!

Sparkpeople.com <------------------------

I highly highly highly recommend it! It's how I lost my post-pregnancy weight (about 30 pounds in less than 5 months) and now I'm at the same weight I was in high school. I still want to lose about 10-15 more pounds before the wedding, but at that point I will be the lowest weight I've been since middle school!

It's totally free, counts everything for you (food and exercise), has a recipe calculator and is completely inspirational. I love it there!

(oh and my screen name over there is hobbitkitty. you can put me as a referral if you want!)

I def agree go with changing your eating habits like eating when you're hungry (if you starve yourself, your body goes into starvation mode and when you do eat, the food goes to all your bad places, like your hips and your behind), eating smaller portions, drinking more water and def exercising!! Dont do a crazy flip flop diet that will have you losing 20 pounds in 30 days and gaining 30 pounds the following month!

But on a side note, you are beautiful no matter what size you are. I read somewhere that when looking at wedding dresses, dont get hung up on the 'size' but focus on whether or not the dress looks good on you. When i forst started dress shopping, I was so sad because I thought I looked like a giant white cupcake! But thats because the dresses I was choose just didnt fit my body type. For the longest time, I used to go up and down with my weight and it was so frustrating esp. because everyone in my family is skinny! So i decided one day to love my size, no matter what size it was and just try to stay fit. I eat properly and exercise regularly and rarely go on a scale! And I am happy

So no matter what, you are beautiful in a size 16, size 12, size 8! Good Luck!

I/ve heard great things about sparkpeople, im going to join right now!!

Really.....

It's funny though... I've always been heavy and when I was a 14/16, I was soooo comfortable with my body, I was outgoing and confident and I fel super sexy and I had NO problem with guys. I'd be happy if I was never thinner than that. So I understand what you feel like to not be comfortable whre you are but at the same tim eI'd be so happy to be where you are! lol So it's funny how everything is relative for people.

And Cat... stupic chocolate? Stupid LAW SCHOOL!
