I'm getting married July 12, 2014. I would love for any of you to add me and we can motivate each other! We can do this! :)

Hi Stargazers! I'm glad to be back for Cycle 3 after taking a break for Cycle 2. My goal is to lose 10-15 pounds by the end of our 12 week cycle. I have been sitting at the same 185 or so for way too long. I need some help staying motivated - it gets so hard at a plateau. I know you ladies can help me kick it into high…

I'm so looking forward to a new challenge - thanks so much for getting another one going. I have been sitting at the same 185 for more than a month now and it has been very frustrating/depressing. I would really love to lose another 10-15 pounds before I go wedding dress shopping. I really need to kick it into high gear.…

I had to take a break from L1 because my knee was feeling tired - I had an injury that healed but I don't want to push it too hard. Now I'm sick so I am way behind, but I have to say that I feel stronger after 8 days of L1. I haven't seen a change on the scale yet, but I feel like my body is changing a little bit! :)

I started this on Friday - mostly to just see if I could even handle it and have kept it up, so I am a few days ahead of schedule. I have found that my legs are the sorest. But, I think I can do Level 1, it seems to be getting a little easier each time (minus the sore muscles!)

I met my fiance on match.com. We talked for a while, but I went on a few dates with another guy. He wanted to stay friends - which was a good thing because the other guy didn't work out and Kyle and I started dating soon after and have been together ever since. Met: November 2009 First Date: January 2010 "Official":…

Honeycrisp are fantastic, but the newer version Sweet Tango is even more amazing.

Mine are 17" but I feel like they are huge.

I'm doing well with the abs part and sleep part, but drinking enough water to get 10 points has been a struggle for me. I used to only drink like 2 glasses of water a day and have bumped it up to 6/7. I'm a teacher and having to go to the bathroom and not being able to had always kept me from drinking. I'm working my way…

I really like RunKeeper. It allows me to keep track of more than MFP does - like how I felt about the workout, my heartrate and RPM/MPH. :)

Any of the dancing games (Dance Central etc) are good - they even sometimes have a workout portion to the game.

We are getting married at the church I have gone to since I was 4. Our reception we just booked on the 2nd at a place called Silverwood Park - it's a regional park with a great slightly rustic building. The rental comes with an outdoor patio and the room has beautiful huge windows. There's a fireplace outside so we will…

Our day is centered around the idea of "rustic elegance." We both enjoy the outdoors and camping and were engaged outside (he set up a private geocache w/o me knowing - solved a code at the end etc). Our colors are aqua and charcoal gray. Other than that... things are still being decided. I do have some birch bark we are…

So, 2014 brides... what have you done in your planning so far? I have... booked my church and my reception venue. I'm waiting on dress shopping. We have our wedding party set, too. Now, we have to look at caterers. Everyone keeps telling me I have plenty of time - but our reception venue had to be booked on Jan. 2nd. I…

I was wearing a 38DD - fit at Victoria's secret, but I kept having issues with my bra. I went to a store called Allure and they fit me - they have bigger sizes etc for curvy girls all the way down to the sizes you can get in a normal store. I loved that place. They made me feel so good about having a large chest. Ended up…

I love baked potato soup! I am going to have to try this! :)

Hi! I'm Stephanie. I am a teacher and am 25. Our wedding is July 12, 2014. )We just booked our reception venue on Wednesday - so exciting!) I gained a lot of weight in college - was diagnosed with hypothroidism and was on some medication that both helped me gain weight. I tried Weight Watchers 2 years ago and lost 25…

Here is my ring! My fiance picked it out - we later found out I had pinned this ring to Pinterest months before when I was dreaming about the future! He has good taste - I love it! :)

I try to picture the dress I want to fit into as motivation! I was contemplating getting a picture of the style I want to bring to the gym with me.

I was diagnosed in college - 19/20 somewhere in there. They found it when I went in for my yearly at the gynecologist. It explained a lot for me - the always being cold, being so fatigued, depression, erratic mood etc. Getting put on medication helped, but I still feel symptoms even when my levels are normal. The one area…
