I am still in study mode for the next 4-6 weeks; for state boards to…

Ahhhh!! I am sooooo glad that you took over the board Amanda! :happy: Thank you for keeping it going. I thought life be would eaiser with nursing school being almost done, but it is just as crazy if not even more crazier! Everyone sounds to be doing great! I miss everyone!! :tongue: I hope to join back up in August after I…

Hey all- Sorry I haven't been active on the board this month at all. I am just so busy concentrating on passing nursing school and my state boards! I will not be continuting to post brides on a mission. I just dont have the time and then I get stressed thinking about it. I am surprised I even thought about today being the…

It's Natalie. I am going to change my user name on Saturday to NurseNatalie if I pass my nursing exam! haha It is such a great feeling to be achieving "healthiness" with the BMI scale and not just the regular scale. Its a big step to become a healthy woman! Thanks for your encouragement!

A big May goal: to get into the 150s. I weighed myself this moring and I am 159.4!!!!!:happy: I had been stuck at 161 for weeks and I finally budged! I didn't do anthing different this week...I was actually working out less because of being busy with school. I am going to work so hard to keep in the 150's and reach my mini…

Welcome to all the new members!

Your looking amazing! I am so glad that I am a "pal" of yours because you realy inspire me! I want your body! hahha not that way but you know what I mean. I am looking forward to seeing your wedding pics. :happy:

Thanks! I am thinking of the same things. I haven't taken measurements...just didn't do it in the begining and didn't want to start now! I bought a pair of jeans about 1.5 months ago and they are getting big on me already. And I can tell my hips and my butt are slimmer and even my fiance had said something about it too. I…

My big goal for this month is to get out of the 160s and into the 150s. I weighed in this morning and I am stil stuck at 161.2; the same weight for the past 3 weeks! I am getting so annoyed!!! I am sticking to my 3 workouts a week and eating healthy/portion control is good most of the week. I would work out more but with…

I was thinking the same thing! When we decided on a Sept. wedding I was like...nice I can get my tan on all summer long and not worry about tan lines early on in the summer! haha Now you have an excuse to go lay out, relax, and get your glow on!

Brides on a Mission:MAY 1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: 0.2lbs loss. 2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): Just glad to be getting a lot of studying done. I also went to Greek Town in down town Chicago on Sunday for lunch and it was sooo yummy. 3. Lowlight of the past…

I hope everyone still continues to use the board! I am just going crazy with my busy schedule of graduating from nursing school in June and I can't keep up with the weekly posts. -Natalie

I am doing workout #3 for this week today. One of my goals is to workout at least 3 days a week. I am finishing up with my BSN and school is so crazzzzy. I am glad that I am finding time to work out the 3 days and it's only Thursday today! I think I will try to get in a work out tomorrow or Saturday too...maybe both days…

That is awesome! So close! You will do great. Just dont give up...know that it will end and the faster you run the sooner you can be done! hehe

I have seen so many people being stuck at this point and really difficult to get into the 150s...maybe its the 150s curse! haha

Just weighed in...I lost the 2lbs I gained last week going on vacation but I am still at 161.4!!! I want to be done and out of the160s!!! I am ganna really put the effort in even more this week and hopefully next week I will be at least at 160lbs.

THanks :) I also like the Body by Betheny yoga dvd and it had a boooty bonus and a weights session too!

Just weighed in...I lost the 2lbs I gained last week going on vacation but I am still at 161.4!!! I want to be done and out of the160s!!! There is next week and I am ganna work really hard to get down!!!

When I first started MFP the calories set for me were wayyyyy to low. I didn't lose any weight the first month or so I was on here. I talked with a nurse practitioner and an dietition....they both said I went into starvation mode. I am guessing you are in the same thing. It was hard to go from one calorie allowance to…

I do too! Everyone is so nice and supportive in this group. I just love reading about peoples goals and it is keeping me going. Thanks everyone!

Ahhhh I am so anxious to weigh in tomorrow. I have been stuck between 160-162 the past 2 weeks and I so bad want to be in the 150's!!! I always have such a hard time getting into that next weight catagory. I have really bumped up the work outs this past week and I am hoping it pays off! I just keep thinking about my…

I got in some hot yoga (90min) today! It was a great class and I really gave it my all. Anyone else do yoga?

My goal weight to try on dresses is 155lbs....I am like 162 right now so not much more to go! I set the mini goal in June but I dont think I will be dress shopping till July or August.

Brides on a Mission: week 18 1. Weight loss/inches lost this week: will weight in on Wed...I am hoping for a loss with my gain last week! 2. Highlight of the past week: (not weight, just something exciting that happened): I had a great weekend! We got all new doors, trim, and baseboards in the house and they need to be…

I will more then likely wear some type of no-heel shoe. I never wear heels because of a knee problem and it is just uncomfortable! Try Macys....they have a ton of shoes. I also get a lot of shoes from Naturlizer...very comfortable but expensive.

Congrats to you!! I have about another 22ish pounds to take off.

Rachel- Thanks! I am glad to be apart of the group! I like reading everyone elses goals...makes me think of more that I could have. It seems that the weight is easy to take off when I am in the middle of the numbers ( like 167-163 was no prob!) but when ever I get to the bottom to get into the next weight catagory it is so…

Hey everyone! I would love to join this group, you all sound like great support and I am inspired by everyone's goals for May! A quick few things about me: I am getting married in Sept 2012 and I want to look hot and be healthy bride. :tongue: I am graduating from nursing school in June and my life is super crazy right now…
