...I also don't mean to crash on your thread...I'm a May Bride (May 1...so pretty close).
I've been working out for the last 6 months hard. I've lost a lot of inches (fitting into pants 2 sizes smaller than what I was), and seeing definition in my arms/stomach!!!
I eat very clean during the week, and indulge on the weekends into a little vino & snacks.
I find the 'eating clean' helps a lot. Eggs, Salad, Chicken, Lots of Water and Green tea are a staple for me.
I've been doing 5 days a week at the gym, and two yoga/pilates classes ontop of that.
The 5 days of work out are the 'Winning by Losing' work out. If anyone has ever heard of it, it's great. It's an hour of weights/cardio mixed together. You can buy the book at any book store...the girl that wrote it is the really fit girl from 'The Biggest Loser' show. That is my 'secret'. Everyone at work has been asking me how I do it...it's that book!
A work out partner helps a lot too...they motivate you to get your butt to the gym!!
Keep going ladies!...it's a hard battle...but it's worth it in the end!
