I need to lose 40 lbs for my wedding in November. I have lost 7 lbs in almost 2 weeks. Not sure if that is good or no so good. Does anyone have any advice? I need help.

    I lost 25 lbs for my wedding. I started using MFP and going to the gym. After getting bored with the gym, like I usually do, I joined a Boot Camp class and started doing that 3+ times a week. That is when I really saw a difference in my body. Even though I didn't lose a lot more weight while doing Boot Camp I gained a ton of lean muscle and it made such a difference in the way I looked and felt.

    Knowing I had a dress to fit in to was the BEST motivator I've ever had to lose weight and get in shape. And I rocked that dress on my wedding day!!

    Congrats on your upcoming wedding!

    Congratulations on the upcoming wedding!! You can so do this by November!! 7 pounds is a great start. Many people start off losing 1-2 pounds per week so you are doing really well. what kind of workouts do you do?

    My names Jess I'm 20 currently at 323 looking to lose 148 I want to get down to 175. I also have a BBM group id anyones interested for 30 day challenges. if you don't know BBM is available on iPhone and android.


    This is a BBM group for 30 day challenges. in the morning let everyone know what needs to be done for example for 30 day squats i will let you know you need to do 30 squats and i will send you a link on how to do them properly so you get the most out of them :) this is a great way for us to all motivate each other.

    Hey Ladies!

    I am getting married June 7 and the heat is on! I have been going to the Gym 5-6 days a week and have begun strength training. I have stopped stepping on the scale because it would make me an emotional mess and caused me to feel defeated. I have lost 10 pounds since November and I feel great. Its crazy how sometimes I feel that Im losing and other days I'm like am I REALLY LOSING? This get healthy journey is a trip of a lifetime! Best wishes to all
