When do you start the dreaded 'D' word

Just wanted to know when everyone will start their diets?

My wedding will be in September 2009 and I want to lose a good amount of weight... at least 30 lbs if not 40.

I dont want to start to early...I already began my excercise routine and eating better but when does it become crunch time.

im not really going to go on a diet, but i am eating healthier, minus the few slipups over the weekend.

i also workout 4-5 times a week.

you dont have to diet yet, just begin exercising on the regular and try to eat healthier allowing your self 1 cheat day a week, or one cheat meal a day

you can do it!

I started - down 6lbs...i feel much better too.
I have tried diets in the past and just had no will power - my sister just had gastric bypass and she is down 32lbs (3 weeks after sugery).....so it has given me a bit of a kick in the butt to get going.

So far so good its really all about portion control...

I'm hoping to lose about 15 lbs so I just plan to slowly work on it over the course of the year.

I haven't actually started a diet, but I did 'cut back' on certain things. I cut out sodas, breads and junk food. I need to weigh myself because the pants that use to be tight on me are loose.

Re: When do you start the dreaded 'D' word

I'm with most of you. I have started watching what I eat and making better choices here and there. Little things like asking for a salad with my meal instead of fries type thing and going to the gym 2-3 times per week.

I started dress shopping this week and it was definitely obvious that I would feel better about myself if I could knock off 5 pounds now and then really go for that next 10.

My goal is 15-20 pounds off total.

I've done it before (of course it is all back and then some) so I know I can do it but I think its time for me to kick it up.

Sorry for rambling on, this was something I was just thinking about today since I went dress shopping over the weekend.

Re: When do you start the dreaded 'D' word

I have been doing Weight Watchers. It is the best program for me. I have already lost about 6.0 and want to lose about three-five more for now. Then next year at this time really focus on losing another 5. I am also trying to go to the gym at least 3 times a week right now. I need to tone up these arms for my dress and abs for my honeymoon..lol It takes time!!
