GOAL WEIGHT loss, AND HOW?

[BEACHBRIDEMA]

I am trying to lose 10 pounds. I try to go to the gym 3-4 times a week. 40mins of cardio and 40 mins weights. I am just trying to cut down my snacking on crap and eating less sugars.

I am trying to look like Mary-Kate Olsen for my wedding...when she was 7. I plan on sticking with my ano diet of tic tacs, cigarettes, and red bulls. Hope this helps you out.

 

Okay I really am sick in the head and need help. I am completely kidding but I have like over 1,000 posts to read and I am going nuts.

Melissa-meetings is the only way I have lost it...go try on dresses it will motivate you for sure.

Perhaps I will go to a couple, just to please my curiosity. I'm actually getting excited about this. hahaha

 

When i went to try on dresses I did feel really good about my body for some reason. Don't know why... I think all the dresses I tried on were really flattering and those corset types really pulled me all in.

I felt awesome in mine, but when I looked at the pics, I realized I just wanted to trim a few areas. I also want to feel better in all my clothes, since we will be having a RD and a wine tour the following day, I want to make sure I feel awesome the entire weekend.

We won't be going on a honeymoon for 6 months so I will still have some time to get really toned for a bikini body, but why not plan it for now.

Melissa I think the meetings can be really helpful for some people, they keep you accountable.

 

I'm so awful about it if I knew I had a bad week I would skip the meetings and that's just defeating the whole purpose!

 

Good luck whatever you decide, but we're all here to help too!

I felt good when I tried dresses on too, I don't know why because I really didn't want to go! but like melissa said the corsets sucked me in!

 

Oh & I agree with christine, I want to feel good in all of my clothes, I'm going to need to buy some new stuff for mexico and dresses for other stuff, and I want to look good in all of it!

Wow girls....thanks so much for all of your tips and comments....My sister lost over 100 pounds on Sugar busters last year....So we have been doing sugar busters for a couple of months now....I've lost about 9 pounds so far...just gotta get to the gym now for some t oning!!!!

whats sugar busters?

[gkashmira]

I've never heard of sugar busters either... probably wouldn't be great for me because I like sweets!

 

I'm ALSO doing WW and I totally recommend it. I've done about every diet out there (including Glenda's cigarettes and coffee... you should probably stay away from that one) and I really think WW is not only the easiest but also the best. the weightloss is slow but lasting (unlike low-carb diets in my opinion). I had lost about 10 but then gained some back so right now i've lost 8. I am aiming for about 10 more before my June wedding... we shall see!

 

I try to go to yoga (hatha flow - sometimes called "Power Yoga") class 2-3 times a week and on our off days we usually go on some sort of walk/mission in the night time - just to get out there and move.

 

I would love to lose 10 (or more really) lbs. and really tone up my arms and back (the two areas of my body you can see in my dress). I went dress shopping after I had lost about 5 pounds - that way I really did feel good about myself in a lot of the dresses. But I've seen the pictures and I know I want to be slimmer and trimmer!
