Hey pin-ups! So glad to have this group back! I wasn't always the most active participant in the discussions, but I always read.
Anyway, this comes at a great time because I'm getting married in June! I still have at LEAST 20 lbs until my goal weight, but not holding my breath on being there by my wedding day. I kind of stopped being as diligent about tracking food and exercise since around thanksgiving but then I got engaged and thought the few pounds I put on would come right off... But there are still remnants of them! I am SO close to ONEderland and I think I just have a mental block about getting there. I must say that I AM proud of myself for staying within 8 lbs of my lowest mfp weight over the holidays (and my birthday)...
Anyway! Just wanted to post and say hi and hope this keeps me on track!!

I must say, I just love your profile picture! It is adorable! Congrats on the wedding in June! Many blessing on your journey into married life! I just got married last February and it's the best! (2nd marraiges for both of us). Funny part is, he asked me out back in the mid 80's but I said no! Finally in 2011 i said yes! Well, the story isn't quite that simple....
Anyway, I'm happy to see and hear that you are happy!0 -
Yay!!! I can't wait to see your weight go down week by week in the chart!
I think the biggest thing is not to stress yourself out about the weight loss and losing X amount in time. Just put the work in and enjoy the results on your big day. :flowerforyou: 0 -
Awww, that's so exciting, congratulations!0

Congrats!! Enjoy your time while planng ur big day. Stay focused on eating as healthy as possibly and u will whittle away at the lbs. Walk alittle everyday if u can...even just 15 mins to clear the stress and keep ur eye on the ball!!
Congrats again!:drinker:0 -
I've been at this for so long that I am not hyper focused on the numbers on the scale. I would like them to go down, obviously, but really I need to start focusing more on toning and hopefully weight loss will be a nice side effect lol. Luckily I already have my dress and I can get it zipped up and everything. I would just be a little more comfortable if my arms/back were a little more toned
I do need to try to remember to exercise more. It is a great stress reliever and I do like it when I am doing it (usually)... Sometimes life gets so busy that it's hard to tell myself that the gym would me more satisfying than sitting on the couch after work! Haha0 -

Congrats!! you look so happy in your pic :flowerforyou:
There is a great series of yoga workouts on Hulu by yogaworks. They have short and long workouts. The short ones only burn about 50 calories but they continue the progress of long/lean muscles without taking an hour out of day. They are great on non-motivated workout days.0 -
