    Wednesdays seem to e a bad day for me to weigh in for some reason. I am up to 185.4 from 183.6 on Friday. Very discouraging! I will try again on Friday and see what happens.

    hi again! i very much wanted to join this group because i am coming right up on my wedding and don't want to lose my motivation!
    i started mfp a few months ago with a start weight of 142 and goal weight of around 129. i am currently at 135 and feeling really great (although still a little "wiggely" in a few places). my biggest motivator was my one-size-too-small wedding dress (don't do it, ladies!!!) which now fits almost perfectly!
    (i have to say though that right now, i am focussed less on my weight and more on the fading inches all over my body - a very cool feeling!)
    i don't really "workout" - though i really want/need to. i bike to the bus stop to go to school every day (which is at least 25 minutes and sometimes up to 2 hours if i go the whole way) and racewalk from my bus stop in town another 15 minutes to school (and then do the same at the end of the day). i also bike with a group of women once a week - we just started with 33 km and will work up to 60+ km by the end of the summer. and, about 3 nights a week, i jog for at least 20 minutes with a friend.
    my best advice is start now!!! there are so many other things to worry about in the weeks and months before your wedding and if you are eating healthy and treating your body right, you will be much less stressed and much, much happier in your life with your love. good luck!

    I have completely fallen away this past two weeks. I've eaten out alot, gone over my calories, and not worked out. Good news is I haven't lost OR GAINED. I'm really feeling down on myself and I am thinking of cancelling my dress fitting that's scheduled in about a week.

    I did okay today, EXCEPT for the TWO sausage muffin's from McD's I had. I tried to rationalize saying it was my fiances fault for brining me two, not the one I asked for but come on, I asked for it to begin with and he didn't force feed me the second one! I'm still within my calories for today (barely) and got in my first run in over two weeks.

    I just have to wonder, if the motivation of an upcoming wedding and a form fitting dress aren't enough, what will be?

    do NOT be hard on yourself! i had some friends over last night for a wine tasting (we made our own apple wine for the wedding and i wanted some second opinions) and snacks. and so i drank. and i snacked. and then i indulged them by modeling my dress (after drinking and snacking!) and i have to say, i was feeling pretty bummed by my bloated tummy and my inability to breathe too deeply....
    BUT, i woke up today and ate a good, healthy breakfast. i am drinking water like it's going out of style. i have a run with a friend planned later in the afternoon.
    most of all, i know with all certainty that i don't want that bummed, bloated feeling on my wedding day. not at all.
    the wedding is less than 3 weeks away and i am just going to push through and do my best. i am proud of the weight i've lost so far and any more will just be icing on the cake - but there will be no eating of icing between now and then!!!
    good luck, everyone - stay focussed and remembere how lucky we all are!

    Same as before, I am still not sure why I am not really losing the last week or two I have not been trying to hard, I am not gaining ether which is good. We still have not found a location, I kinda got side tracked though.
