[/quote] I'm soooo excited about today's weigh in! The first part of the month was frustrating and did not show all my hard work! I couldn't be happier now! So glad I stuck with it! Thanks for all the support friends :)

Mmm thanks guys!! :)

Bump!! I must try this! Thank you for posting :)

Umm you just made my pie dreams come true! Thank you!!! :)

I find that cleaning the bathroom really makes me sweat! Scrub that tub as hard as you can to burn some extra calories! I think just getting up and moving around is great! Sometimes I will go and organize my closet... Not only does it get me standing on my feet for a while, but it allows me to try on some clothes I havent…

Gah!!! No way!!! We are getting married the same day!! This is too cool! :) My goal was to be around 125 pounds on my wedding day. Right now I'm at around 135-136. I would be happy even to lose just 5 more pounds to be at 130 on the day. I workout a lot: lifting weights 3-4 times a week, cardio 3 times a week. Sometimes I…

Countrybride2b/Jen Goal weight on May 31st: 130 5/01: 138 lbs 5/07: 138 lbs 5/14: 138 lbs 5/21: 136 lbs... About freaking time!!! :) lol [/quote]

Awww thank you!!! That's so sweet of you to say! You just made my day :)

Countrybride2b/Jen Well, I've been feeling frustrated with all the effort I've been putting in lately with little to no outcomes on the scale :( I was thinking of dropping out of the challenge because my weight has stayed the same... Again... :( but my fiancé is encouraging me to keep at it. So I apologize my weigh in for…

Good morning! Maybe you could help me?? I started a thread this morning after waking up and getting some bad news on the scale :( I've copy and pasted my post below.. I'd really appreciate some insight. Thanks so much!!! :) Today I had to weigh in for the lose 5 lbs in May Challenge. I was soooo good this week! In addition…

Thank you!! You have made me feel a little better :)

Ok... Here's my first weigh in! I guess I shouldn't have had that super high sodium dinner yesterday! I need to totally get my water drinking on today to cure this bloat!!! Damn you Red Lobster and your deliciousness!!!! Haha 5/01: 138 5/07: 5/14: 5/21: 5/28: 5/31:

I'm getting married in August and I MUST look my best! I've lost 12 pounds so far but I've still got a bit to go! I'd love to be in on this challenge!!! :) Name/ real name: countrybride2b/ Jen Goal weight on May 31st : 131 5/01: 5/07: 5/14: 5/21: 5/28: 5/31: Report Post Quote Reply

Also make sure your scale is properly calibrated!!! My fiancé pointed this out today... So we fixed it and looks like I'm down 2 more pounds!! :)

This may be a stupid thing to ask... But aren't you supposed to be gaining weight if pregnant? :)

Good idea! Thanks for the suggestion! It's hard for me to take time off working out. I only take 1 day/week off from the gym. I feel so guilty!!! Like I'm slacking off or something. Its just a mental thing I guess.

I don't know your age/weight but if you're working out as much as you say then I agree that 1200calories a day is too low for you! I eat 1540 but on days I work out with weights I add a few more. I'm still frustrated too... Spring is almost here and I want to make sure I'm at my best for the summer months ahead! I'm…

Oh that's a good idea about mixing up the order you do your workout routine in! Thanks for the tip:)

Yes I completely agree with you about the eating right.. And I do. I'm actually consuming 1540 calories/day because I am so active. On days when I'm lifting weights I usually eat some of my workout calories back. I agree with you that many people aren't eating enough... Although with me I don't think that's the case. I…

Thanks everyone for your responses! I'm glad I'm not alone on this. I do believe that since I am working out a lot with strength training and cardio it could be some muscle I've put on. I eat 1540 calories/day because I am so active. On days I'm lifting weights I usually eat most of my calories back... So sometimes its…

Fantastic effort!! Looks like someone is ready to hit the beach!! :) well done you look amazing :)

I'm REALLY wanting to get to 120... I think that would look smokin on me! I'm currently 145... I WAS 135 Buuut then a 4 week trip to Europe happened, a move to a new city for a new job and Christmas! LOL. I'm getting married in August and would LOVE to drop some serious pounds before then! Any advice??? I'm already a…

I make protein shakes pretty much after every workout. I hit the gym after work so I find that my 200-300 calorie shake really prevents me from over doing it at dinner.. So I don't consume too many calories. I use Maxx Essentials in vanilla ice cream flavor. It's very reasonably priced and tastes great in a blender with…

Hooray! I'm not the only ones freaking out about wedding disaster dreams! I've had sooooo many ranging from the photographer not showing up, to forgetting to get my hair and makeup done, not going to the right venue, to my dress being wrong! I'm always hopelessly sad in the dreams because I feel like "way to go! You just…
