I'm shocked too. Never expected it but it's been happening a lot. It's hard to tell people that just because they are dating someone doesn't mean they automatically can brings that person.

I hear you on the guests inviting guests. A surprising amount of people have assumed they have a plus one for some reason. It's driving me nuts....

Stevie Lynn Jones

Don't see the resemblance to Kate Mulgrew either but Lake Bell popped into my head quickly - and maybe a little Clair Danes or Amanda Peet

Lake Bell for sure.... for Golightly17

Thanks for the input everyone. Thinking I might go with the pork, sub polenta for extra veggies and steam the veggies/no oil.

Hard to see your face in your pictures but maybe Mae Whitman...

Another November 8th bride... I have about 20-25 lbs to lose and am getting a little nervous. My dress doesn't hide anything...

I'm getting married Nov. 8 and I have another 25 lbs to lose and am not as motivated as I thought I would be. I keep making rookie mistakes that I know I shouldn't. I need some motivation as well (as if my strapless wedding dress wasn't enough) :/

Think of it like primer on your walls before you paint... makes everything go on smoother and stay in place.

Shoulder press, lat pull downs, rows, flys, shrugs, pull ups Push yourself on the weight - quality over quantity.

I think I'm going to go with the full ones rather than the separate ones. I think I'll be more successful doing those in a way that looks right. Either way I'd recommend buying a few and practicing. Don't want your first time trying them out to be that morning. I personally think it looks better to do a swipe or two of…

I personally don't think it's necessary. I'm normally glued to my phone but I rarely do anything on it except take pictures when I'm at a wedding. I think most people know that there is a time and place and a wedding reception is not the same thing as lunch with a best friend. Also - that could be a good task for some of…

I'm doing my own makeup too. There are lots of GREAT tutorials online for traditional wedding makeup. If you don't have it yet I'd recommend some sort of blush and bronzer to contour your face and some eye shadow - I don't think these were on your list. You want to wear more a little makeup than is normal for you if you…

I use what MFP sets as my goal to lose 1 lb a week then I have auto positive or negative adjustments to that number via my Up24 - they talk to each other so I don't eat my calories "back" exactly - I just keep in line with my adjusted calories. To double check I've taken the estimated total burn from my Up24 (essentially…

Getting married in November and have been struggling to take the weight off. I'm working hard at it I think but I just keep maintaining. Just gotta keep with it doing the right things and the weight will eventually drop - i hope!

I'm wearing nude patent leather wedges - very simple. I figure no one is really going to see them so they can be a little plain - and my bridesmaids will be in nude shoes too so I'll match them. I'm going for the wedges so I have more support throughout the day. If I'm going to be standing in shoes for 12 hours I might as…

Just started using my new Up24 today.... feel free to add me as a friend!

BTW - just did my first stage 2.... holy **** that was hard.

Just did my first stage 2 workout. 1. I started with the olympic bar for the push press. It was hard but doable. Not sure how quickly I'll be able to add weight though. 2. Correct. 3. I haven't dont the wide grip dl yet so I'll le you know.... but I imagine you can't start at the same weight since the exercise is harder to…

100% count the bar. That's 45 lbs. It counts.

I find it helpful to concentrate on one spot - something inanimate

Thanks for all the feedback everyone - super helpful!

Today and Thursday I'm doing the AMRAP workouts at the end of stage 1 then starting stage 2. I'm not sure where I should be starting with my weights. I don't want to go too low since there are only a 4 workouts each but realize some of these are new to me and I might need to. Anyone have any advice on where to start so I…

Looked at your blog - amazing results! Can I ask what your diet was like? Did you work out other days besides your lifting days? I'm gonna be done with stage 1 in a couple weeks and I haven't seen as much of a change in my body as you have and am wondering what I should be doing differently.

I would definitely use a lighter dumbbell for the lunges if you hands are giving out... or get gloves to help wit the grip. Another option might be using a weighted stability ball?? I am doing Workout B for the first time today! I'm super sore from my first workout so I'm hoping that I'll be able to get through it!

Awesome! Thanks!

Thanks for all the birthday love everyone! First workout went pretty well - though it did bring up some questions that I want to see if others have answered already in this group - so I'm going to check those out next. Looking forward to Workout B! IliN82 - I am not doing this with a trainer and I did bring the book with…
