For those girls trying to drop a few pounds before the big day, how do you keep yourself on track when you feel you're starting to fall off?

I've lost quite a bit of weight but I sitll have a year and a half till my day and I'm afraid I'll start to put it back on especially since the past few weeks I've really really fallen off the track! Help! TIA

just don't beat yourself up about slip ups... I've been on Weight Watchers for 2 months. If I have a bad meal, I don't go nuts about it and turn it into a whole bad day of eating, which can then lead to a bad week!

ive found that writing down everything (and i mean EVERYTHING) that i eat keeps me honest and healthier. the guilt of seeing the words 'haagen-dazs' is just too much to bear!

Oh yeah!!! I agree...my thinking is, if I don't want to have to write it down, I don't eat it! It really holds you accountable!!

Let's keep each other motivated. I just joined weight watchers online. Saw a pic of myself and was NOT HAPPY!!!! Hitting the gym like they are closing tomorrow!!!

Ditto....I have always been so disciplined and for some reason, I have let myself slip since recovering from surgery in January. NO MOTIVATION! Any ideas would greatly help. That and the fact that I could eat every sweet thing known to man!!!

I am with ya!! I LOVE sweets...not so much candy, but ice cream...jeeeshh!!! Cookies, I just need to keep them out of site! I joined weight watchers and after only a fews days, I already feel less bloated. I guess I am losing water weight. I bought some of the WW frozen treats and they are really good and only 1 point. Some are 2, but I got the fudge ones and they are 1 point. Don't worry, we will keep each other motivated!!

I went out and bought a bottle of water that holds 6 glasses which is the amount that WW says you should be drinking a day. The thing is I was told it looks like a bottle of Vodka!

God knows what my co-workers think of me but I swear it's just water!
