April 2010 Brides

[Melidell]

Yes please! I would love to have an exercise thread for us April brides- I need motivation big time, and it would be nice to have a thread with everyone who has the same time line as me (within a few weeks, of coarse). I don't need to lose too much, but I need to get back in shape and tone up big time- strapless dress+flabby arms=ugghh. I also need a kick in the butt to try to eat healthier.

I thought we could post helpful tips, mini workout ideas (maybe some office workouts for those of you who are stuck at a desk like me!) or even some healthy (but YUMMY) menu ideas/recipes. If anyone is interested in an APRIL BRIDES GET-FIT thread - or something like that! - then let me know and we'll get it going.

I am definitely interested in a wl thread!!!!

Here is my update...

Hi Shannon and welcome to the thread! April brides are so much cooler anyway, glad you crossed over haha. So how is the atkins program working out for you? I wish I had the motivation like you to work out 2x's a day; I take the lazy route and use my wii fit board, although I haven't used that in awhile either..this is scary, 6 months can do so much for your body (in a good way) and I can't find the drive to do anything

April brides are definitely the best! Welcome Shannon- sounds like you've got a lot done already!

I would love to be a part of the APRIL BRIDES GET FIT! Great idea!!

[echo2_62]

okay sounds like we have a few people interested so I will get a new thread set up for us April girls soon! I can't promise that I have the greatest knowledge on weight loss or on weight lifting, but I figure that if we can all add some little pieces here and there, it will help one of us along the way. Start checking any of your fitness mags that you might have lying around under your coffee mugs or holding up that wobbly table (ha!!) to see if they have any quick little dailies that might get us started. A little bit goes a long way right?

i have a feeling i may love/hate you all for telling me about this kijiji thing! i haven't even looked at it, but it's very fun to type!

Deal! I'll start looking for tips in books and mags- and if anyone wants me to research something in particular just let me know (I'm a librarian). We're going to be so fit ladies!
