SW: 151 CW: 150.8 Still doing pretty badly, but have walked home from work the last couple days now that weather is nice. That def helped me shed some lbs last year. Went to the doctor and my iron is crazy low, so that explains why I've been feeling so tired and unmotivated. Hoping that getting that back up will help my…

Hey Sam, I definitely have the same issue, especially with running a lot. In the last couple months before my wedding, I pretty much only walked (a lot) and that helped me stick to my diet. It's tough to find the right balance. That's why lots of people gain weight when training for marathons. Maybe cut back on the running…

Hi ladies! I've gained a full 25 lbs since my wedding. I've been a mess emotionally... I think it's hormones plus being at one of those life transition points... Last year was all focussed on the wedding and now it's like, what's next? Lots of unknowns with work, our living situation, etc. Plus I'm turning 30 in a couple…

Hi Ladies, Happy Monday :) I've successfully stuck to my cal goals since Friday, so I'm feeling good about that and going to keep the momentum going. I've been going along with the weightlifting program and it's going well. I'm on week 2 of the 3-week pre-program prep. I do already feel like my arms and shoulders are…

Woohoo! Awesome!

Congrats, Sam! You were a stunning bride!!! I did a lot of overeating again this weekend. My cravings are so out of control. I feel like I used to go through a little bit of this every month or so leading up to my period, but I feel like I've been in that mode for weeks and weeks and I keep thinking it's simmering down and…

My dress is allure.. I think 2013 collection? Not sure of the style number but they have a few in a similar style.

I am not logging but am doing ok with my eating. Kinda chilling out for a bit but I'll be back eventually. Keep it up ladies! xo

Hi Ladies! Hope your February is off to a good start! So I ate a lot lot lot after my wedding for pretty much all of January (including a very indulgent honeymoon cruise last week). I went from 125 on my wedding day (mostly 126-128 in the weeks leading up to it) to a shocking 148 when I stepped on the scale yesterday.…

This is encouraging but I have been having the hardest time stopping! I know it's both physical and mental...and feeling badly about myself is only making it worse.

SW 125.0 W1 133.8 W2 141.0 Yep. For real. I am REALLY struggling and am feeling so ashamed and embarrassed about this. I am scared if I don't get it under control soon, people are going to notice this rapid gain.

Oh my gosh, ladies. I gained almost 15 lbs in a week and a half. I know some is water weight, but not alllll :( I feel enormous since I haven't been this weight since like early last year! So bummed. I have been out of control. Ravenous and binging all over the place. All I can say is thank goodness that I will be able to…

Woohoo! Have fun!

Where did you get the tea towels made? What a great idea! I want to use it for future parties! My sister threw me a high tea sort of bridal shower and this would have been so cool.

Love it, Sarah! Check out that perfect hour glass figure!

At least your damage took more than a week haha! At least some is still gonna be water weight, so I'm sure after a few days of eating well and lots of water we'll both be feeling better!

Last Thursday (my wedding day) I weighed exactly 125.0. Today I weigh 133.8. YEP! SO MUCH EATING. I needed a bit of a break, so I am ok with it, but now it's time to get back down so I feel great when we head on our honeymoon in 3 weeks. Diary is open again. Today is my husband's (!!!) bday so we are going out for dinner…

Hi ladies, and welcome! Congrats to you all and I'm so excited that this group is growing :) I find a lot of support here!

Thanks, ladies! I think having it altered would probably cost a ton and I doubt I'd really wear it again. I think I'll end up trying to sell it and if I don't have luck there, I'll just have it boxed up and stash it somewhere. I can't imagine having it put on the wall, haha! I heard about people who put them on every…

^^ My dress :) I loved wearing it and am so bummed that I won't get to wear it again! I'm not sure what to do with it yet...keep it? try to sell it? not sure...

I love the sleeves, too! I really wanted sleeves but there are just so few dresses with sleeves in the stores right now and I couldn't find one that I liked. You look like a princess!

I did up because I felt it was more formal and I didn't want it to move! I did braids going into a sort of bun. My bridesmaids also had updos but they were slightly different than mine..2 with side buns, one with a different centered bun. I got my hair trimmed a few days before the wedding and tried not to flat iron much…

Hi ladies! Hope you don't mind if I stay in the group now that I'm a Mrs, and all :wink: So I had the most perfect wedding ever! I felt great, love the pictures I've seen so far, and I woke up the morning of my wedding at my goal weight...125 on the dot! That was a great feeling. I took the days since the wedding off and…

Thanks so much!!! I feel great and stepped to the scale to see 125.0 on the dot! Ready to go get my big day started! Thank you, ladies, for all the support over the last several months. You all helped me achieve my goal! 25 lbs in a year :) Next time I post I will be a Mrs! Xoxo happy new year!!!!

Busy, busy here! Forgot to check in yesterday but have been doing ok-ish here.. Family in town so there will be holiday eating but have been working out and maintaining at the weight I was at my final fitting which is most important. 1 week to go!!! So excited! Gonna probably smoothie fast again for Mon-Wed before the…

Yep, for sure! I'm sure it'll be fine, but wish I had done this.

Hey ladies, for those of you that don't have dresses yet, might I suggest lace up backs? My dress has a zipper and that allows NO wiggle room. I am now living in perpetual fear that I will not fit into my dress (either too big or too small) and it's stressful! Just something to keep in mind, because I didn't!

Congrats on the PhD!!! I think you totally deserve a little celebration :)

SW: 132.6 GW: 125 W1: 124.8 W2: 128.0 Def having a hard time resisting all the holiday treats that are coming at me from every direction. Doing a lot of walking, a little running, some squats and just wanting to melt off these few lbs.
