Let's go girls!! Check in is very important!! It helps us motivate each other!! It's what this group is all about!! We only have 4 to 6 months to go for our weddings!!! Let's show these other girls how it's done

This weeks challenge is exercise minutes! That should be great for everyone since we all like to do different things. I am going to have to get out there and get walking. I wanted to start doing JM Shred but I've got a killer sore throat (I've been fighting off whatever crud my fiancee had for about a week- 10 days now.) and I'm afraid the huffing and puffing will make that worse. Maybe I'll start March 1 and do it 30 consecutive days- that would be ideal.
So, what does everyone need to improve on this week? I need to watch what I eat better and I need to start drinking water- no excuses! One bottle before every meal- I need to do it.0 -
I am definetly not off to a good start! Didn't finish logging yesterday because well.. no excuses, I was lazy and tired!! Didn't even do a workout because I had to go take out my dog at lunchtime instead of going to the gym (my roomate usualyl does it but she's away until tonight). Same thing today.. can't go do my workout at lunchtime... and tonight is shrove tuesday so it's pancakes at the fiance's church tonight! Will get a workout in tonight though because I want to get some challenge points in!! This week will definitely be a tough one eating wise because for valentines day we're going out for pasta (which we havne't done for a couple of months) then on fridya night we decided to do a nice romantic chocolate fondu in!! So obviously this week own't be good food wise but i'm hoping if I can just get some workouts in, the damage won't be too bad!!
On the wedding side, well I got my dress in!! And just for you all, here are is a picture Hopefully the picture won't be too big or too dark.

Beautiful dress!0

christine, you look fantastic in your dress.
Me on the other hand. I am in a funk that I need to snap out of. I just don't want to put the effort in. I love working out and I am running 3-5 days a week, and doing weights. It's the food side I can't handle. I just want to put everything in my mouth and that means not good food choices. I need to stop. I know alot of it is cravings. I am due to start my period. I just can't stop eating.0 -
Gorgeous dress! Congrats on crossing that off your to-do list!
Amy, how many brides were you still lacking when you turned in our results? I noticed we are dead last in both categories.
Do you think it's party because we had so many people not reporting this week?
I'm going to try and hit the gym a few extra times this week (usually have a goal of 3 days/60 min per day) to earn some more points! Come on Daffodils! Let's try to move up in the standings for next week! 0 -
Absolutely a stunning dress! U look great in that dress.0

We were missing 11 brides. I turned results in twice for the few who sent them after I did the first time and still down 11. Some are not participating in the STAR challenge, some haven't responded at all. Maybe after taking a peek at who has not checked in- they will be removed if it's been 2-3 weeks? I'm not sure what the plan is. 0 -
I think if they haven't reported in for two weeks in a row, the plan was to remove them from the group wasn't it? How many total are in our group? Eleven not reporting sounds like a lot!0

I see there were 19 when lawyerette posted our standings in this thread. So that's less than half who checked in. Hopefully we'll have better team results this next Sunday.0 -
My goodness, I'm way late to this party! Sorry for the super late intro, but I'm Carolyn and my wedding is June 29th-- which is rapidly approaching!
My last two weeks of progress haven't been the best, though my poor vacation choices were canceled out by food poisoning, but I quickly put it back on last week (between Super Bowl, several birthday dinners and our cake tasting, it was a rough week). I'm back on track and hoping to post some good numbers to help our group out this week!0 -
I agree with you guys. We need to get our results out there and on time this week to move up in the standing. As for weight loss, I am at a standstill. I have even gained 2 lbs.
I am hoping it's water weight, but we will see. This will be my first gain in the challenge if I don't lose it back by Sunday. I am off till Monday, so no excuses. I will get in great workouts this week.0 -
I'm right there with all of you. Let's all weigh in on sunday!! I mean i'm gonna weigh in and i'm sure i'm gonna have gained like 2-3 pounds but i'm still gonna report it because it keeps me accountable and I need to be kept accountable. We all joined this challenge for a reason so let's help each other out!! I'll do my best on sunday to be on here more so that I can help motivate to get results in!!0

I will most definitely have a gain this week. I had my IUD removed in January and had a light period a few weeks after the inital surgical bleeding stopped. Today, it's HORRIBLE and I'm so bloated and sick feeling.0

Oh dear! Sorry to hear you are so sick today. I hope you feel better soon!0 -
WEIGH IN DAY!!
Let's get those numbers in everyone! Let's be the team who had the most brides check-in.
I gained .2 this week but I'd say that's pretty good considering what's been going on. My mom and I have a water challenge going on in addition to our weight loss, so hopefully that will help me lose more if I can keep my water intake up.0 -
Only 7 have checked in so far (that includes me!). Even if you gained- please report it! Let us know how we can support you. We've all had loses, gains and standstills- but reporting it keeps you accountable. Let's stay motivated!0

Looking for Angela, Autumn, Brandy, crystaliana, Megan, Amanda, Jesyka, Julie, Kelley, Carla, Meike, Miquela, Candace, Kelly (rock_kowgirl), and Sarah!
I'm going to submit the stats tomorrow morning so if you can get it to me by then, it will go in for this week.0 -
I had a horrible week! Ate horribly and didnt work out as much!! Gained almost 2 pounds but im ready to start fresh this week!! Going to do groceries tmr night and have my roomate back to walk the dog at lunch so gym all week at lunchtime whos with me?? Common everyone!! Weigh-in!!! 0
-
Morning ladies.
I only heard from one more bride last night, so I submitted this morning. Great looking numbers as far as brides losing weight but not so great because I think less than half participated this week.
Wishing everyone a wonderful week filled with lots of exercise and losing pounds!0 -
Thanks for all your work Amy!! Too bad only half of us weighed in!! I hope we're not losing some girls out of lack of motivation!! Our wedding days are approaching quite fast! This is the time to kick it into high gear!! We're all here to help!! So join us! 0

Congrats, Daffodils!
At the halfway point, you’ve lost a total of 115 LBS! That’s awesome!
According to your goals, your team has 158.5 LBS to go. It may sound like a lot, but it’s only about 26lbs/week. For a team of 18, that’s around 1.5lbs per week.
I know each and every one of you can do it.
This may be hard to read, but next to your name, the order is Starting weight (1/6/13); CURRENT WEIGHT; LBS LOST TO DATE; % LOST TO DATE; GOAL WEIGHT; STARTING % TO LOSE; CURRENT % TO LOSE; LBS left to lose; and TARGET LBS per week to lose. I’ll post the spreadsheet tonight so you can read it easier:)
Oh- and you all are ranked according to percentage lost so far, so congrats to your FIRST HALF WEIGHT LOSS LEADER bbtano (Melissa). She, ceciljacobs (Cecilia), and amara15 (Paige) have met their 12 week goal as of the end of Week 6! What will they challenge themselves to for the second half???!

CONGRATS to everyone and keep up the good work. Even if you’re struggling, realize that you’re halfway there and you still have 6 weeks to kick it up a notch and reach your goals!0 -
Where did everyone go? LOL. I'm all alone!
I've got some kind of sinus crud now (I just can't win this month!) so I'm fighting that off. Trying not to just eat convenience meals but it's happening more often than I would like. I am drinking more water so hopefully that will help on sunday!0 -
I'm here! I'm here! Drinking water will definitely help! I lose a lot more when I drink a ton of water.
Interestingly enough, I also lose better when I drink milk regularly. If I go without any milk for several weeks, it usually affects my weight loss attempts.
I hope you get over all the sickness soon! Hang in there!0 -
I don't know what's wrong with me, but I have fallen off the wagon. I haven't had weight gain, but I am just not motivated right now. I Have been working and doing so much for the wedding, that the gym and eating right have fallen to the back burner. My dress fitting is coming up soon, and I am not at all where I want to be. It is so hard right now. I have to get back on track.0
-
You will get back on track Kelly. Everyone goes through different stages/seasons where it's hard to eat right and exercise regularly. The fact that you're maintaining is great! I hardly ever maintain.....am usually gaining when I'm not tracking food and working out. When is your dress fitting? Mine is over Spring Break, three weeks from today.0
-
Okay i'm here too but as Kelly is saying.. i too am not as motivated as I was... this week was alittle better food wise but workouts still aren't up to par with what they have been. Need to start getting back into it because as of now I have 6 months and 2 days to go and still want to lose 10-15 pounds more!! So i think what i'm gonna do is get up early this weekend and just go to the gym while my fiance still is sleeping! I'll feel better about myself and hopefully that will boost me into getting back into my normal gym routines.
I think everyone is starting to drop so we really need to help each other out!! We can still do it 0 -
Weigh in day!
I'm really pleased with my number and it's about darn time!
Even if you didn't lose, or even gained please please PLEASE still send your weight over. Yes, I am begging you. I'm not above getting on my hands and knees. You could very well be gaining muscle instead of losing weight. The weight part of the challenge does not accurately show that--but the measurement part will. Don't give up!0 -
Hey girls!! Two days since anyone posted anything!! Where is everyone?? Maybe we should check in with everyone? See where were at with our weight loss and what we need to do to reach our goals we set out for each other.
For myself i've had two weeks in a row with a gain which is not good. But this week i've set out to get back down atleast one pound. I'm going to the gym during my lunch break all week and will try to get atleast 4-5 other workouts (either strenght at night or full gym hour during weekends). I'm eating well and not letting any junk come into the house!! Friday and Saturdays are usually our roughest days so i'm gonna make a plan of what I eat for those two days and i'mgonna keep myself busy!! As of my last weigh in with this group I was about 4 pounds away from my goal. I'm hoping by the end of this week i'll be closer to 2 pounds away from my goal and into the 160's.
I hope everyone else is doing well and that we remember to work our hardest now because the months before our wedding we will need to focus on all the little stuff and we don't want to be stressed out by still wanting to loose 10 pounds 1 month before the wedding so let's get back on it NOW!!
We can do it!!0
