Hi! You guys can add me. I am 25 y/o 5'3.5" and hovering around 167 :frown: I am hoping to some day be between 130-140. I have a larger bone structure and am very muscular so I think that would be an appropriate weight for me. I am really more concerned about how I feel/look then what my actual weight/dress size will be. I…

I used to eat reg yogurt and then made the switch to chobani (flavored) as the greek yogurts have high protein which is much better for you. It was a difficult transition for me. It was very tart almost sour at times. I eventually got used to it though and enjoyed eating them until I started to eat clean and couldn't have…

I would go to target and buy some "Assets" Shapewear. Is from the creator of Spanx and it seems just as nice its just a little cheaper. I have two different pairs of shapewear and the are both for tummy control. I have found that the assets don't seem to ride down while my maiden form one sometimes will roll down. Are you…

Do you go to a gym? I LOVE Les Mills Body Pump class. It is very tough and you get a full body workout in 1 hr. Being in a class setting with mirrors really pushes me to complete each rep bc I don't want to look like the "weak one" who can't hang lol. It also teaches you a lot of different exercises to work out you chest,…

Hi Everyone! I am getting married in 12 short weeks EEEK!!!! I am not where I wanted to be for my big day, but am getting there! From now until the wedding I will be eating clean. Clean eating for me is easy, bc it makes so much sense. The only real drawback about eating clean is that it can be time consuming to make…

August 24th! AHHH Its so soon!! I need to get my **** in gear both body-wise and wedding planning-wise :embarassed:

I have not done either program as my gym does not offer them, and just recently found out about them online HOWEVER, my gym does offer Les Mills BodyPump which I HIGHLY recommend for newbies. If your gym has the class you should give it a shot. It is a great way to get introduced to not only weights, but numerous different…

when your two favorite classes at the gym fall on a tuesday and wednesday so they were all cancelled to weeks in a row due to Christmas Eve, Christmas, NYE, NYD and of course living in the North and it keeps snowing on those days so class is cancelled again :sad:

Hi all! I wanted to be a size 8/10 when I went shopping, but due to time constraints I needed to go at my current size 5'3 170 lbs size 12/14. I was petrified that I would hate myself in every dress and that I wouldn't be able to find anything to try on as most dresses are a sample size 10(true 8). Most of the dresses I…

Hey fellow Brides to be, My name is Andrea and I am 24 soon to be 25. I live in New England with my Fiance who I met in college through a mutual friend. We have been together for 2 yrs and 3 mos and engaged for 6 mos. Our wedding will be August 24th, 2014 at a Winery. We are getting married on the same day my parents got…

FYI, there is a MFP Group for 2014 brides you can join for support as well!

Hey girl I am in the same boat as you! My wedding is a little less than 8 months away and I want to lose weight and tone! I am trying to commit to Zumba 3x a week and weight lifting 2-3x per week. Once it warms up outside I will try to become a "runner" Lol. Not a huge fan, but it seems to help people lose weight the…

I LOVE ZUMBA!!! :heart: I have been doing it for over a year now, but I agree with most that it all depends on the instructor you have. My instructor is about 4'11 85 pounds and from Peru. She is amazing and adorable. She is great at making Zumba feel like a family and not cliquey or judgemental... Well at least not to…

I was concerned about this as well seeing as I was starting a clean eating diet and you aren't supposed to have any added sugar. I talked to my trainer/nutritionist and she says that men should try to stay under 30g of sugar and women should try to stay under 24g of sugar. That being said you shouldn't count fruits and…

I love sweating to the oldies! Hahah Come on who doesn't love Richard Simmons! He's fun and sassy and doesn't yell at you or tell you to stop being lazy and work harder like all the other at home tapes!

So like you, I have NEVER been a fan of the gym!! Everytime I look at the dreadmill I cringe! :frown: I had a really hard time getting back into exercising because being on cardio equipment is so boring and I am almost positive that time actually slows down when you are using the equipment. I get on that treadmill and I'm…

I'm doing clean eating. It is sustainable and can be made into a lifestyle. That being said, it can be hard to follow because it takes a lot of time and effort to cook and plan all your meals for the day! Like everyone is saying there is no clear definition, but mainly you aren't allowed to eat any processed foods, foods…

I've been doing Zumba for almost a year now and I LOVE it!! :love: I am addicted for sure and I'm always in the front row! I first started going only once a week for at least three months. I then started going twice a week. I am up to three times a week now and I am losing weight. Zumba will definitely help you lose…
