Let's meet here, buzz this thread and have some dieting friends and we'll bee accountable together!
This, along w/the fitness thread might help you beecome your perfect size and feel bee-autiful inside and outside!
I am doing (started today) a specialized diet program, w/diet supplements and vitamins, combined with 1 hr exercise a day (had a great walk w/hubby)! My goals are twofold:
So that's why. I also want to rock a little bikini for our first anniversary honeymoon trip this summer too!
So..this is my day one. I'll check in here daily too. How 'bout you? Wanna bee fit?
I wanna bee fit! I am totally in!
My goal is going to be 6-7lbs a month. We are starting tomorrow since we will be back into a work routine. Also, I have a head cold so hopefully I will feel well enough to work out tomorrow.
Anyway, I am in!
ETA: are we gonna do before/after pictures or something for inspiration?
I am TOTALLY game! I am so excited for this. Ultimately I'd love to drop about 150 lbs, but that definitely is going to take some HARD work and determination. I need serious motivation, but I know I can do it!
@HoneyBear: I am entirely too embarrassed to post pics of what I look like now, but maybe as the weeks go on I'll get the courage, lol
I am in! I had lost a few when we 1st got engaged, but have put them back on over the holidays.
So...here i go again. Wedding is a little over 7 months away, and i'd LOVE to lose 30 lbs. (if i want to lose by my fitting, i guess my goal is 6 per month)
I'll look around and see if I have a before pic.
what can we do to keep each other motivated and accountable?
We should report our loss each week and check in each day to say if we worked out and ate healthy...etc
any other ideas are welcome!!! I need someone to help keep me on track :)
im totally in! i was a work out fool before the wedding but can honestly (and embarrasingly say) i havent stepped foot in a gym since the wedding!
and have gained the 10 pounds i lost before the wedding AND lost all my muscle mass (im squishy again! booo....) sooo now that one of my bestus friends is getting married in October and im her MOH im all in for getting back on the wagon so i dont look like a heifer standing up there at the altar!
im planning on working out 3 times a week at the gym at least, with at least a half hour on the off days of cardio (walking around the neighborhood) - with one day as my "cheat day". eating more veggies and salads and just watching my portions and alcohol intake for a few months til i get back on track.
i think i can shed 30 pounds total if i work at it by October.... its a measily 3 pounds a month right?
Do you think we could do a weekly weigh in thing? Maybe we can do it every sunday afternoon or something like that? I know myself and I going to need some accountability lol
eta: if anyone is interested in trading yahoo or skype names so we can chat on there on a daily basis?
I'm in! I've been needing some motivation and support to get back into running and eating healthier. My goal is to lose 15 pounds by the end of this semester, so that's just shy of 4 pounds a month through the end of April. I'd like to lose another 5 pounds after that, but I think I'll be feeling a lot better about myself with the first 15.
My inlaws get here tomorrow and we'll be doing some serious eating, so I'm planning to really get started on Monday the 10th. I think weekly weigh/check ins would be great!
Im in! I've been losing weight since November and am about half way to my goal. Lets share healthy recipes and fun workout tips!
Definitely count me in! Wedding is less than 18 weeks away now, and I need to make as much headway as possible by 7th March, as that's first measuring session with dressmaker!
The one thing I do have on my side is lots of time during the day, and a cheap off-peak gym membership. Here's the plan:
I'm going to swim 30 lengths tomorrow, 30 Wed and 20 Fri, which makes a mile. I'll also do the aquarobics class directly after on fri.
I'm going to do a full weights & cardio 70 min workout Tues & Thurs, which includes starting the couch to 5k this week: on the treadmill Tues and Thurs, on the road Sat.
I've signed up for a Zumba trial class Tues the 11th, but I have zero co-ordination so we will see how that goes.
Sunday off, unless something really weird happens to me and I decide to walk my 5mile block. Has happened before. But only rarely lol.
I'm going back to Weight Watchers Thurs ( dreading the weigh in!!!!!) I know from past experience that if I behave myself and keep to my points I'll lose 14-15 pounds in the first 4 weeks. The trouble is I'm like a pressure cooker - the longer I'm good, the bigger the blow out when it comes! I'll be counting on you ladies to kick my ass outta the fridge around valentine's day lol !!
Good luck us!
I"m in too! I love the idea of a weekly weigh - in. I need to be held accountable for sure....I would like to lose 30 but would be happy with 20 by the wedding, which is less than 8 months away...eek! I've made some rules for myself that include limiting my alcohol, drinking enough water (huge problem for me) and working out at least 4 hours/week. My dress fits but not as well as I would have liked, so there's some motivation! :)
Has anyone tried using "Fatbet.net" ? It's a pretty cool idea - it's great for a bunch of people as ewll. Everybody enters their weight every week and it keeps track of how much everyone is losing. (Your actual weight isn't made public - just the amount you lost). I can set one up if anyone is willing? If we get a few I'll set it up and then put the link here so you can all add your own...
what do you all think?
Okay, Im in. Fatbet.net sounds interesting- I would be willing to participate. Our wedding already passed, which is probably good, because now I cant use "wedding planning" as an excuse not to go to the gym!
OK. I set it up anyways, if anyone wants to join feel free! It's a good way to be held accountable. To join just click this link and set up your account:
http://www.fatbet.net/joinbetreg.aspx?JoinBetId=6655&Digest=s1uuf36MQne8tslF84ZzBA
I set it for 3 months - I figured that was a good start. If anyone has a better idea i'm up for that too!
So glad I found this thread! I just signed up for fatbet- I guess I will weigh myself again next Sunday? Time for me to hit the gym and eat some weight weighters recipes :) Thanks for setting this up!
Great idea! I signed up! Thats a great way to force us to keep track and see how we're doing toward our goals!
Is your dress in? I am the week before you 8/20 and i ordered a dress in a size that "just fit" at the time, but I had to "suck in". Here's hoping it fits when it comes in!!! Talk about a motivator!!!
@JerzyLady: Yes it just came in! I ordered a size up from what I tried on, which was just slightly too tight - but even the bigger size is still a little too tight around the middle....I could get away with it but i think i'd be upset with myself.....if not, i'll just have to buy some good spanx :)
@smactley: ut oh---thats' scaring me (which is a good thing since I have time to lose the weight). The sample Barely zipped on me. It made my waist look small, but my back fat was hanging out LOL...I also don't want to be afraid to breathe that day ...
The seamstress talked me into ordering the size i tried on, even though it was tight because it fit perfectly in the chest. Just need to lose a little in my mid-section and back.
I'm totally in. I need some motivation to fit in the bridesmaid's dress that was ordered for a late summer wedding. I'm looking forward to getting back to the gym after being a total slacker for the last month.
I am signing up to Fatbet.net now!!
I had been doing great with the working out until last week!!! Have put on almost 10lbs over December!! I am wanting to lose 20lbs by my first fitting in March. So thats 2lbs a week until the end of the second week in March!!!
Need some motivation to eat better. Starting off by cutting all booze for the month of January.
I'm in! Joining the gym tomorrow, but right now I am having tea with sugar & whole milk and toast with nutella. Goal is lose 10 lbs and back to a 25" waist in 19 weeks. Bikini body honeymoon, here I come. Goodbye nutella :-(
I'm totally in! The wedding has passed, but I really want to avoid the love chub. I've already begun going back to cutting down what I eat... I really want to be a hot wife. :)
Hey girls - why don't we share what our eating/fitness goals are? While I'm not looking to lose weight specifically (maybe once I get closer to my wedding!), I really want to work on my nutrition, as well as working out more regularly. My goal for this week is to eat (a healthy) breakfast every day, do Couch to 5K week 2, and cook dinner at least twice (actual meals, not just frozen food). Believe it or not, the cooking is the hardest goal for me! I like to use MyPlate on Livestrong (formerly Daily Plate) to track my eating habits.. What other tools do you girls use?
I'm in!
I've lost 20 pounds since October, but I need to kick it up a notch since I also want to look decent for my friend's wedding in March.
I'm in! My goals this month are to work out at least 4 times a week and to significantly cut back on carbs. Oh, and no more eating out until after the wedding. Thank God its only a month away!
@kirabee: i like using that site for the calorie counter too - sometimes it's good to actually review what you eat during the course of the day.
Excellent I just signed up!! Post any advice or weight loss tips that you notice are helping you please!!
Ok, I just signed up! I was doing really well until the wedding... and haven't done anything since 
Since the holidays I've been feeling really "blah" and need to start working out and dieting again. Hopefully this will help keep me motivated!
I am TOTALLY in!!! I want to lose 8-10 lbs a month! We should definately do a before and after pic like every month
I am tracking my food using sparkpeople.com eatins 1200-1600 calories a day. I am doing Jillian Michaels 30 day shred every day as well as 1.5 hours of cardio everyday.
i just joined in on the fatbet. I also use my fitness pal to record what foods I eat and keep me on track eating 1200 calories a day.
Count me in.
I rejoined Weight Watchers right after Thanksgiving, but have been gaining and losing the same 3lbs.
I want to lose 20-25lbs before my wedding in 9 months.
I really need to stop falling prey to my take out cravings and cooking more as well as making it to the gym rather than getting side tracked with a martini.
I just weighed myself on Thursday and not only did I gain back what I lost at the beginning of last year, I'm now at my heaviest weight ever! I started tracking my calories and going to the gym as much as possible. I'd like to lose 10-15 pounds by the weddingl in June.
I joined the fatbet group! I weigh in on Wednesdays so I will try to remember to update there as well
I decided last night I'm joing Weight Watchers Online tonight after I get home from work. But I'd love to do the before and after photos on here that some previous posters mentioned. And the moral support will help everyone, I'm sure. Good luck with all your goals, ladies! I want to lose 20 lbs. :)
@Jenn23: I agree with before & after photos. It really is inspiring to see people changing and to have evidence of your own change.
I just joined in the fatbet group, too. The date the fatbet is set up to end is roughly around the date when my dress comes in. Coincidence? No way! It's a sign!
I just joined the fatbet group, too. I decided 25 lbs, not 20 lbs. Let's do this!!! :)
@KatNYC2011: I agree before & afters can be so inspiring. Just look at MandaMack's if you need proof. That girl rocked it!
But...I don't know if I'd feel comfortable sharing my before pics. Maybe I could share them after a little bit of time, when I could post an after pic alongside to show how much I had improved.
@Bubu82: I've seen MandaMack's pics. She is really inspiring!
I hear you on waiting a bit to post. I want to have some difference to show first.
