    I decided to incorporate some green smoothies to my diet to give myself a kick start. I made a large batch with 1 Pineapple, 1 Banana, the juice of 1 orange and 1 grapefruit and about 3 cups choped kale. Devided between 4 bottle. It's delicious! I'm going to try having 1 smoothie for breakfast and 1 for lunch with a regular dinner and snacks in between. I hope this helps because I feel like I'm running out of time.

    Now if I can only stay away from the wine!

    I have one more year until my wedding, so I'm in no rush, but would love to support you ladies!

    My wedding dress fit me perfectly when I bought it (at around 175lbs). I want to get down to around 136-140 - just hoping that they'll be able to take it in that much!

    :)

    I'd love to join in as well! I'm the matron of honor in my sister-in-law's on September 15th. I've tried dresses on at David's Bridal and found the one I want, but am not going to order yet! I want to see how much I can lose before needing to get it ordered! Saleslady said absolutely last week to order would be first week in July...I'm thinking I am going to order it mid June. I tried a size 8 on and it fit almost perfect...I had some major back fat going on though. I would love to be able to go down to a size 6, but I would be happy at a comfortable 8 as well! Still smaller than what I wore before! Need to find ways to tone up my thunder thighs, as the dress is cocktail length...so it's an inch or so above my knee. I usually avoid anything above my knee, but I am also using it as a challenge!

    What are you girls doing to help in your weight loss? I've been at it since January and have lost 15lbs, but I haven't lost anything in the last month. Seems like the process it going so much slower than I had hoped! I was eating at 1200 cal/day and exercising, cardio, 5-6 times per week. Just this week I've since upped my cal/day to 1400 and exercising (cardio, C25K, and jillian's ripped in 30) 5-6 times per week. We'll see if that helps, they are saying eat more to lose more...hopefully that will give my metabolism a jolt!

    Height: 5'3"
    SW: 175lbs
    CW: 159.8lbs
    June GW: 145lbs
    Ultimate GW: 125lbs


    BTW, here is my dress. It would be in Lapis, a deep purple color...maybe one of you talented ladies can get it to work for me?! Thank you so very much!

    I'm a bridesmaid in my best friend's wedding on June 15 and I was hoping to drop to 180 pounds by then. I'm 5 pounds down so far, but just started seriously working towards the goal. Fried foods are my downfall.

    I'm biking primarily as my form of exercise, but I've talked to some people who say that strength training should be incorporated. What are you ladies doing?

    If you don't mind, I'll be sending out friend requests so we can keep each other accountable. It's just to easy (for me, at least) to fall off the wagon!

    That's my dress, but unfortunately, I can't get the image to post :) I haven't tried it on since I've lost weight... going to wait a little bit longer.

    I caved in on the wine last night I have to make up for it today and make sure not to cave in again.

    I also need to concentrate on sculpting my arms and legs because if I can't be thin by the wedding at least I won't be flabby. haha Need some motivation!

    Someone give me a challenge for today. Please...

    Just finished a workout with the kids. So yeah a silly but fun workout. I'd say I burned 200 cals but that's just a guess. I feel great though and that's what matters most.

    I'm challenging myself to jump on my mini trempoline for a total of 4 minutes for 4 days. 1 done 3 to go. Then I will add a minute for 5 days and so on. This should help kick start my weight loss. I will do other things of course but that's going to be a daily workout.

    Hope everyone is having a good day!

    Let's do this!!!

    I ordered my bridesmaid's dress online after figuring out a size. It came LITERALLY two days later (didn't pay anything extra for faster shipping). Time wise it's more reliable than getting it in_store. Good luck!

    Another good workout done. Day 2 of my 4minutes trempoline challenge and some resistence band exercises. My pants already feel losse even though there's no difference on the scale. I can't wait for my wednesday weight in I'm sure there will be some good numbers then!

    Keep on working hard ladies, we can do it!

    Well, can a mother-of-the bride join? My daughter is getting married June 23. I ordered my dress in February but it is not due in until May 7. It should fit, but my goal is HOT mother-of-the bride, so I'll be hitting the gym extra hard.
