I'm so in Andrea. My fiance and I started planning our wedding just this past week actually. We're not getting married until July 16th, 2004 though. I have lots of time to lose the weight i want to for then especially if I start now. I just can't keep putting it off. I plan on starting hardcore on Tuesday for sure. I keep putting it off, but really.....Tuesday for sure, or all of a sudden its going to be a month before my wedding and I'm still going to have 80 pounds to lose. Im at about 210 right now and want to be at 130.....I think. I'm not sure though cause 130 may be too small for me. I'm 5'7 and pretty muscular, so I think that may be too small. But I guess I won't know until I get lower.
Anyway, I'm feeling really motivated because not only am I getting married.......but i'm getting married in Jamaica at a really expensive resort. And what's worse then being a fat bride? Being a fat bride in Jamaica who is afraid/embarrassed to wear a bathing suit!
IM SO IN! I'm going to do it this time! I have to! There is no way I'm spending this kind of money on a wedding to not want to be able to even look out our beautiful pictures.....damnit I refuse! I have tons of time to get in shape if I start now! There are no excuses. Food is not as important as looking good on my wedding day!

Well, before yesterday, I was down 5 pounds and 1/2 inch. Today I think I'm retaining water from the Easter buffet. A whole table of desserts.... Oh well, back on track today. My dress is supposed to be here Wednesday. Maybe that will be the motivation I need.
Have a great thin day!

Hi everyone,
i am new to this site and from what i have seen it looks very interesting.
the thing is i am getting married in June and i am trying to loose some weight. i have lost about 15 pound so far over the last two months but now the time of my wedding is drawing near and i am not as close to the weight that i would like to be.
i spend between 9 and 10 hours at work each day and i hardly have time to exercise. i have tried limiting or controlling what i eat but then i just end up binging because i am so hungry.
if anyone has any ideas, please feel free to share them with me
thanks

as far as no time to excercise...maybe a half hour or so before or after work...at home?

Totally not trying to preach, by if you only have 1/2 hour to exercise, if there is a Curves in your area that would be perfect for you. With drive time for me it takes about 45 min out of my day, to change, get there, exercise, (stetch out - usually skip this part), and get home.
Like here, the support there is great and it is only a half hour. I thought before, how could that make any difference. But it has. In two months, 15 lbs and 10 1/2 inches.
Go for the free week that they are offering now, or all of them have a free session at the very least.

Hello all, and a happy Tuesday to ya!
Well, the aftermath of Easter is happening, and now people are bringing in the candy that they got on sale. Uuugh! Oh well, at least the donuts didn't even tempt me today. I only managed to do my ab work this morning, and got no cardio in. Maybe I can tnoight. Well, stay strong, everyone!

thanks for all the advice everyone, yesterday my fiance asked me what i wanted for my birthday (April 28) and i told him to loose 20 pounds at least by our wedding day.
today when we got home he got out his sneakers and told me that he was going to make sure i got my gift as long as i trust him. So we had a great jog/ walk and i feel great, I don't feel so hopeless anymore
he is so sweet.
have a great day today, everyone
