Ok, so my mother and I are invited to a wedding on August 2nd, and really want to go. But, as I'm sure some of you know, it SUCKS shopping for nice outfits that you can look classy in without looking like a frumppy tent! So our goal it to lose as much weight as possible (Maybe 15-20 pounds) before heading down to cali for the wedding. So lately I've had pretty much zero modivation to lose weight. I had pretty much given up when I weight myself and saw I had gained 3 pounds after doing good for 3 days...what the heck? so out of depression I turned that 3 pound weight gain to a 10 pound weight gain! AHHHHHH. So I'm hoping by putting this wedding infront of me as a "carrot" I can finally find that modivation I've been so lacking!

    I know how discouraging it can be. I went on the Atkins diet a couple of years ago. After over a year of eating that way, I had only lost 15 lbs. I gained it all back in a few months when I started eating normally again.
    But I have been on this site for 2 weeks or so, and I have found it very helpful. I am eathing healthy foods for the most part, and learning to lower calories sensibly.

    My son is getting married on July 28th, so I have lots of incentive to lose a few dress sizes too. I can totally relate.
    Let's hope we both make our goal!
