Motivation Needed ASAP!!! WW people I need your help!

My wedding is in October. I'd love to lose like 50 pounds. I've tried everything and I think WW is the best way to go. But I need motivation! Can you WW people please tell how much weight you've lost and in how long. I tend to get motivated by other people's success stories! Thanks!

17 pounds in 5 and a half weeks. I want to lose 50 all together. Everyone is different, I have become so fanatical I measure everythingwhen I am going to eat at home, and I think that is why I am losing so fast and I am drinking the water too. Everytime I get on the scale I can never believe it! I also allow myslef one night a week to have whatever I want, but I am starting to not be able to eat that much.

i lost 50 lbs. over a period of 2 years but the bulk of it (about 40 lbs.) i lost within a year. i also took my time and have kept most of it off (went from 196 to 139, have gained about 10 back but i'm working on that). i could have done it a lot quicker but i'm lazy and go out to eat a lot :) hope that helps you a bit. you can definitely lose 50 lbs. by october if you put the pedal to the medal and push yourself - good luck!

my sister dropped 85 lbs in 11 months. She did not attend meetings, she had her roomate do it with her, and they went out every Friday night for an hour and had whatever she wanted. Usually beer, pizza, and onion rings. They looked so foward to that hour on Fridays. Good luck,

PS that was 3 years ago and my sister only gained back 8 lbs. She constantly has a glass of water in her hand, as well as lite bread in her apartment.

I just joined again weight watchers last night. So today is my first day on it again. I would love to lose 50 lbs by my wedding date also. I know if i put my all into it, it can happen. My question for those who have lost 30lbs or more are you toned also and how did you get toned? i am scared to lose 50lbs and just have flabby fat hanging. thanks and good luck to everyone!!!!

Stacie - our wedding is the same weekend and at the same venue. I did WW last year and lost the extra 10lb I had put it. Just recently I noticed I've gained a few, so we have the same amount of time to lose! Unfortunately, my problem isn't so much the weight as the flab. I def. need to motivate and tone up my arms and abs. (My thighs could use it too but with an a-line skirt on my gown, I'm not so worried about that!

Hi Girl!
I just joined the other night too. I am super psyched and even went to play tennis today and fell down and hurt my knee pretty bad so take it easy. I was so excited to get moving that I guess I was too intense.
I had to ice my leg all afternoon and could not even move my leg.
Good luck and hopefully we can lose before the year is up.

Re: Motivation Needed ASAP!!! WW people I need your help!

I lost 30 pounds two years ago on WW from April to November (for my 10 year HS reunion).

It was great, but then I thought I could keep it off on my own and couldn't, so I'm back up again to my starting weight.

I just got back on the WW train and in 3 months I've lost 5 pounds.

If you are really dedicated to staying under your points (and not using too many flex) it's really effective.

Good luck!!!

Get a friend to do it with you. You can support each other. My best friend and I get up at 5AM to walk. When i don't get up she texts me a picture of myself where I look rather fat.
I go to ww too. I lost 10, 30 more to go. Good luck.

Re: Motivation Needed ASAP!!! WW people I need your help!

I joined ww online about two weeks ago and still havent 'started'. However, I just got engaged this past thursday, so I promised myself that monday I would get serious with it (I wanted to give myself the weekend to celebrate a little). I need LOTS of motivation too. Our wedding isnt until next october, however - I am the MOH in a wedding in december! I would love to drop 30 by then - although I know its a stretch! Anything is better than where I am now, right? I am open to all sorts of techniques and ideas to get my motivation going!!!!
