any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi there all,

I'm getting married November 30th, and def have to lose at least 10 pounds. I've been walking, weight training and dieting but I just really need to do more to do it.

I was wondering whether anyone else was in my position and wanted to get a chat thing going to support each other.

I thought this being crunch time(at least for me), this would be the place to post.

What do you all think?

NOV 1.

I'd love to loss 10-15 lbs!!!

Let's give each other motivation!!!!!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

I'm 12/7 and I'd love to lose 10 pounds...but when I eat frozen pizza and milky ways...I don't think it will ever happen...help me girls!!!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

First step: toss the pizza and candy bars!!!

We will all support each other.

I've lost 38 lbs on low-carb and it is the easiest diet. I have to step up my excersie to loss these last 15 lbs......

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi there,

Great Let's support each other! About the lo carb diet, are you doing a prescribed one or just something you designed yourself? I was thinking that would be a good idea...

...and I can understand the milky ways and frozen pizza. I think the stress is getting to me and those are what I go after...I just try to exercise when I feel like that, get out and walk for a while...sometimes it helps.

So...do we all want to write what we eat every day and maybe what exercise we're doing?

...and the challenges...
for instance this weekend my fh and I are going out east which means food. Next Saturday is a wedding which means food. The following Thursday is my first fitting which means '**** it in and hold my breath'. I just want to get through these two weeks!

I need to lose about 15-20 pounds... I think I am going to weight Watchers....

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Ok, so this morning I ate two scrambled eggs on a roll...think I'll just have a salad for lunch. Don't know what I'm going to have for dinner...and if I can find the strength...I'll go to the gym for a little while tonight.

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi

This morning we took a little walk with the dog. Then I had whites, turkey and tofu with 1/2 a roll.


Then I came to work where every day is a party. I had to try the chocolate cherry bread the boss brought in(but only a little). I'll probably have a salad for lunch. Tonight's my night for dinner. I guess I'll pick us some salmon and veggies.

and I haven't done abs for two days...tonight!

I have to say that I'm really lucky. My fh is into fitness and cooks. We switch off dinners, and he frequently does breakfast. Without him, I think I would be living in Carbsville!

How's everyone else doing?

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

I FELL DOWN hard at work last night and could hardly move all night. Food was good, low carb stuff...

Nothing yet today, I'm in CA, and need coffee before I can function. I'll probably have low-carb power bar for breakfast and left over chicken salad for lunch.

Dinner ???

Tonight I'll probably go for a walk, a little yoga- for my sore back, and an arm workout.

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Would love to lose another 10 pounds before the wedding...I am doing the South Beach Diet and lost an initial 10 pounds in the firs three weekd..now I think I have hit a wall. I may actually have to excerise which is hard since when I get home I'm usually tired!!!

Now with the wedding coming, I will have to run out to long island at least once a week ( I live in Queens).

I'm in!!!! I have a hair trial tonight so I cant excerise tonight, but will tomorrow!!

For lunch I will have salad and a banana for a snack. Maybe I will take a walk at lunch for some exercise.

Hi there,

MarciaD...Since you're into low carbs, you might be interested: I just had one of those
EAS Carb Control shakes. There are only 2 carbs in each. They don't taste great, but hey, in a pinch they might be an idea!

Well, just got back from my salad time (yum). Have to find the determination to get to the gym tonight!


Think of the dress...think of the dress...think o the dress....

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Umm, I haven't tried the EAS shakes, but the bars are okay.

The Atkins cholocalte shake is very good. I had TMJ real bad a couple months ago and lived off of them during my soft food diet....

Go us!!!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Never tried the Atkins...yum.

Was not perfect last night. Bought Outback takeout, steak, salad, veggies, and the smallest bit of a crab cake, so really not that bad.

Today, eggs, smartbeat cheese, a roll for breakfast, veggies burger and salad for lunch....AND I even got to the gym this morning!

We do go!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Ahhh, I just had a great workout! I feel so good

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hey girls,

I've lost 6 pounds and hope to lose another 5 by Oct. 2 (my first fitting).

In order to reach my goals I've been kicking my arse at the gym, cutting out carbs after 3:00 and being mindful of my fat intake and making sure I get in calcium and 2-3 bottles of water a day.

Keep up the good work my fellow November brides - we're all going to look so awesome!!!!!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Hi,

Ah, I love a good workout. I missed my walk this morning, but we're going out east for the weekend starting tomorrow, so weather permitting, I should get some cardio in. I'll also join the gym there for the weekend

i just bought the South Beach Diet during lunch. I know there's a discussion of it on Slim Down. I was just wondering whether anyone here has heard about it or tried it?

I ate two cookies today. What am I thinking? I feel like a blob!

Why can't we all just be perfect!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

I had McDonald's today...not a good diet day!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

nov 16th - i need to tone and drop a few too....sounds good!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

the eas shakes are good - i usually blend them with some ice and soemtimes a little skim mil or soymilk (depending on what we have!) - they come out a little creamier and tastier this way!

Re: any November brides who need to lose weight before their wedding

Great workout again today. Down 1 lb this week, need to accelerate this weight loss, will try to do 2 workouts day-- 1 am and 1 pm for the next 6 weeks....

Chanting for 'the dress, the dress' then 'the bikini, the bikini'
