Hi! Congrats on getting motivated. I'm just starting my health kick today too, after weeks (months?) of making excuses.

Definietly avoid refined carbs - white bread and pasta, sugar etc. They are just empty calories and don't benefit your body at all. And reduce salt intake to cut down bloating and water retention. I hope to be following a mostly "real food" way of eating, or at least a modification of it that suits me. So for me this will be lots of fruit, veggies, low fat dairy (be careful with yogurt, these are often full of sugar or artificial rubbish - I only eat the pot-set natural yogurt which contains milk and cultures only - it is so good with frozen raspberries!), wholegrain bread, eggs and lean meat and fish.I am avoiding most pre-pracked food, and those with added sugar and crazy additives

I am in now way implying this is the best thing to do, but I know it will work best for me. There are other methods which would probably work quicker (eg. no carbs) but these aren't always healthy and sustainable in the long term.

Exercise-wise I'm hoping to get back to the gym, and restart the C25K program. At least 3 times a week for each.

Beauty-wise I've never had a manicure or pedicure and might not even bother doing so for the wedding. Haven't decided yet. I've considered getting some facials done beforehand but as far as I have foud they are very expensive and I don't think I can afford that sort of thing.

Good luck with it all! Keep me updated on your progress!

Started using a Clarisonic once a day with cetaphil for my skin, usually at night.  Then I massage pure coconut oil into my skin before bed.

I eat a high protein meal at noon and it keeps me full until the evening.  Breakfast is usually yogurt.  I eat fresh berries as a snack.  Usually have a smaller meal for dinner and then have a treat with FI - usually a few bites of his dessert of choice.

I drink a few bottles of water a day, and some diet soda.
