My daughter is getting married in May, but it's on a beach in the Domician! I have to loose weight so I don't look like a whale on the beach!!! I'm dreading the week away because I'll have to wear a bathing suit and a dress!!! UGH
I wish you luck Huni, and I know your struggles...

I know the feeling, I myself am getting married on August 8th, and I'm terrified that I'll look like an absolute balloon in my wedding dress (which I haven't even picked yet lol).0

Thank you. My daughter got married on the beach a year ago this past August. Fortunately I was too busy before the wedding to wear a bathing suit and I was too exhausted after to care who saw me in my bathing suit. Although I was small when I got married my husband still tells me all the time that I'm beautiful. I have never been this big. Fortunately by starting now I have time to loose the 50 needed to be ideal. Thank you all for the encouragement!0 -

Fortunately my son gave me a heads up. He's planning on proposing in July and marrying in December. They have been talking about it and she knows, she just doesn't know when. She's the one that picked December. That gives me 10 months to loose 50 pounds.0 -
You can do it. Eat less and move more.
Walking is a great place to start.0 -

I'm sure you won't look like a balloon. LOL!! When I was with my daughter while she was picking out her dress I was amazed at what they have for ladies with wight they want to camouflage. Of course my daughter was a size 4. I wish they had stuff like that for the mothers0 -

Thank you. This app is a good start. I didn't realize how bad I ate. I can make better choices and eat more but not kill my calorie intake. Because it's on my phone I have it with me all the time making it easier to do my diary.0 -
I have my sights set on losing 70 pounds in one year (Feb 20, 2016), would love to be at 50 pounds lost in December. Want to friend and inspire each other?0

I sent you a friend invite.0

Exercise isn't necessarily required for weight loss. Walking will definitely help, but only if you're logging is correct.
Calorie Deficit = Weight loss.
Exercise = Better Health.0 -
I quit using this app for a while. My doctor referred me to a dietician due to elevated liver enzymes. I'm apparently not eating enough and the one time a day I usually eat is stressing my liver. She told me to increase my intake and suggested this app to keep a diary. I'm having to set alarms on my phone to remind me to eat. Let's see how this round goes. Today is day 1 of my journey and along with bringing down my A1c and my liver enzymes I also still have 50 pounds to loose!!0

Well you need to adop an approach that has you eating at a healthy sustainable deficit. %0lbs 1lb a week is a rough rule of thumb. You need to get weighing and logging under control first and then you cna think about supplementing with exercise.0

Thanks. I believe that's what I'll do.0
