  • Have a snack or meal with a little fat and carbs before going out. Saving too many of your calories for booze leads to getting drunk faster and making bad decisions later ("of course we should order breadsticks at 2am!"). Also, alternating your alcoholic drinks with non-alcoholic drinks helps pace yourself. If you want to…

  • When I told people that I wanted to lose 40 pounds before me wedding ALL I heard was "That's too much," but they don't know my weight, or my BMI, or that my goal weigh is within my healthy weight range for my height. My fiancé was the worst. Now that I'm half way there I don't hear it a s much. I think it helps that I got…

  • My biggest challenge is definitely finding tie for everything! There is so much to do- I don't know how I'll get it done! My biggest accomplishment is the weight I've lost so far! Also, getting the dress- I love it and wish I could wear it more than once!

  • Hi to all & best wishes all around! I've been wanting to get fit for awhile, but getting married was a great motivator! (has anyone else experienced this thing where once you say you're a bride any weird, strict, crazy diet is suddenly acceptable?) After trying on dresses (omg, my arms are huge! why did I let myself go!?),…

  • Most places will do as many alterations as you need. When I got my dress in August I freaked out about the size and asked the sales woman to order the smaller size since I was planning to lose weight. While we ended up ordering the bigger size, she told me that we get as many alterations as needed. Since I've lost weight…

  • I'm freezing! I just can't get warm without layers on! I only lost about 20 lbs, I didn't think it would make that much difference

  • Tats happened to me before. But usually it's just too many supplements instead of actual foods. Try laying off the powder and bars and making sure you're getting fruits and veggies with natural sources of protein. spinach in your omelet, fruit with nuts, and veggies at meals. Not to get too personal, but if you're not…

  • The FitNit tracks sleep, steps, distance, calories burned, if you took the stairs (it has an accelerometer like in the wii), and there are fun things, like messages it gives you and a flower that grows or shrinks based on activity level. It also has a website that tracks your info. Google it. It really looks neat, but it's…

  • Can you do fresh vegetable juices? Or fresh fruit juices? And honestly, anything will be delicious with a miracle fruit tablet!

  • My new fave is carrot sticks and 100 cal pack of Wholly Guacamole with some cayenne added. The healthy fat in the guac helps me stay full and the carrots are nice and crunchy (I really don't miss the chips, and I have have way more carrots for the half the calories). I also made this soup recently that's super duper…

  • I disagree with the "don't cleanse" stuff. As long as you do it for the right reasons, it can be very useful. I do a gentle cleanse after I've overindulged to get my body and my cravings back in check. What I do is make a couple different juices in my juicer (I use s brevile and I love it), usually a green juice with lots…

  • My fiancé is a chef, too, so I feel your pain! Hes really supportive, so when he cooks for me he will accommodate my dietary restrictions- steamed, baked, etc. I found that it was really helpful to just talk to him about my goals and what foods I want to eat and avoid. He can make the best salads and vinaigrettes and will…

My dress will be ready for my first fitting in May, and I want to look great in it and hopefully have it taken in several inches. :smile: It's tough to balance work, wedding planning, and life! Feel free to add me as a…
