I'm Julie and I am getting married in August. So far we have lost our venue and our DJ, so stressful. We decided we are getting married in Key West on our honeymoon lol. So I have a good 40 lbs I want to lose and look the best I have wince Highschool at my awesome wedding and honeymoon.

I'm not gonna lie, deadlifts scare me, just because I know how bad you can hurt yourself if your form is even a little bit off.

I have been online shopping for a cute one that I hope to wear this summer, but I have some serious stretch marks and idk if I can do it. Ya'll are definitely inspiring though :-)

Break Stuff- Limp Bizkit :explode:

Bumping for ideas

Feel free to add me I am in the 1200 range as well and I am finding it is not as hard as I thought it was going to be. I plan my meals out a day or two in advance too, that really helps me.

I made these this morning. I used 1 banana 2 egg whites and added 5 chocolate chips per pancake (30 total) and used sugar free syrup. Caloric total was 238...sooo yummy!!

Mmmmm banana and chocolate chips maybe? YUM

You HAVE to put the scale away. It will make you crazy. I just take pictures instead of weighing in because it doesnt change much for me or if it does it's in the wrong direction...but I look better sooo it's ok :)

LOVE THIS! I started lifting recently because of women like you. I want a stomach like that lol. What do you do to work your core like that?

I find that I have a hard time eating all my calories, but protein gives me good energy. I upped it on my food diary. I am having trouble with sugar. I am logging and taking a good look at where my sugar is coming from and changing it that way. I still do love cardio. Today I did 20 mins of elliptical, lifted, then walked…

Good idea!

Yay thanks! I am a nursing school and we are talking about muscles and nutrition and yeah cardio is good for your heart but when it comes to osteoperosis and things like that, weight bearing exercise is really important.

I am pretty excited to see what kind of results I will get, I need to work on my diet too but there is soo much info out there it is hard to sift through it.

I don't count "cleaning" or stuff like that, I count when I go to the gym, or for a run or anything I don't normally do.

I am a nursing studnet and a mom of 3. My teachers always tell us to walk or work out when the stress of school is getting to be too much. It is a big help to me, plus I feel sooo good all day if I eat well or get a quick work out in.

bump...sounds yummy!

DAAAMMNN! Get it momma, you look amazing!! I hope I look as great as you a year from now!

Thanks for the support, I think you're right about working out. I am trying to find good coping mechanisms for all the stress, but finding time to work out is turning into another stressor...but it needs to be a priority. I am just getting into the swing of things. I have 3 kids, a husband and a household to take care of,…

You sound like me. I just had a baby 3 months ago and lost 24 lbs and am back to pre baby weight...but I have like 40lbs I wanna lose and I am starting nursing school next month. I am already having a hard time staying on track since I have gone back to work so idk what I am gonna do when school starts

SW 225 GW 215 CW 216!!!!!!!! One more pound to go and it's only mid-june! UGW 180

mine was anything at Subway...and pasta in particular lasagna noodles lol I made some yesterday and was shocked that there are like 200 caloroes in 2 noodles

There is just a lot of temptation on vacation. I worry more about the fact that we are sharing the house with other people in my family who aren;t watching what they eat. We will be buying our own food and everything but like at my house I don't buy the junk so it isn't in my house even if I did want to eat it lol.…

Coffee does it for me too...exercise too, even if it is just a quick walk. It's weird that way. Aldo water. I drink a lot of water before I eat anyway so when I feel g=hungry I have some and it can hold me off for awhile.

Yeah? I need to check into that. I do have to say the trainers I have seen don't look all that qualified ;)...I am getting all excited now lol

Julie, Most of those guys have the worst form in the world, don't let them intimidate you!! If you have the desire, go for it! There are books and websites that teach proper form, and will give you ideas as to some exercises. That is my whole thing, I have no idea what I am doing in there...I actually just looked at the…

Can I just say that I am a little intimidated by all the guys in the weight room at my gym. Idk about the rest of you but at mine there are these big *kitten* dudes going nuts in there and I would feel rediculous in there next to them....there is this one girl in there tho and she lifts and her arms are small but so well…

I'm down 21 pounds as of my Friday weigh in today!!!!!

You aren't doing the same thing for 30 days, you have 3 different levels at 10 days a piece. I was doing it everyday and switched to level 2 after level 1 got to be easy for me which was before the 10 days was up. There have been days that I didn't do it but you are supposed to do it everyday.

I do it daily, not weekly. I do plan my meals before grocery shopping, then in the morning I plan my meals for the day and put it all together in my food diary so I know what I am doing that day. It makes it easy to keep track.
