The "Newlywed 10/15"...anyone else?
Hi there! It wasn't that long ago that I was posting on the bride boards about getting in shape for my wedding last year... now, I'm happily married and the pounds have been creeping back! I've put on 10 lbs (my husband has lost 20), and I'm completely responsible for the gain! I think I still look OK, but a lot of my…

"Peak" by stopping weight training before a big event?
Hello friends, I'm sure some may be balk at the subject to this chain but I'm completely curious. Since I've started weight training last summer I've gained weight, which is not a big deal to me cos I feel like I definitely look better. But I've heard that weight training can retain water. Now, I drink a lot of water, eat…

I'm a bride to be who bought a dress too small.
Hi ladies!! It's been great reading some of the posts on here, I thought I'd add another one! First off, congratulations to all of us! In addition to planning a wedding which is stressful enough, getting in shape before the big day is as if not more stressful. At least for me, so far. I've been on MFP since before I got…

No weight loss in 8 months, kind of freaking out
Hello friends, So, I'm proud to say that last week, I hit my 365 day mark on My Fitness Pal - hoorah! In that year, I've been able to lose between 10-15 lbs (depending on the day). Not a huge loss but I was only 20 lbs away from reaching my goal. My weight loss journey has been a LONG one. I had been chubbers from the age…

How has a heart rate monitor helped you?
Hi folks, I recently took the plunge and purchased a heart rate monitor to get more smart about the workouts I'm doing.. frankly, too, I was getting frustrated with the difference in numbers MFP was giving me versus machines at the gym (it's all/mostly about the math, right?). Anyways, lo and behold according to my HRM…

Give up on your ultimate goal weight?
Hi friends, I'd like to ask a real, honest question here. Have you ever just wanted to or decided to "give up on your ultimate goal weight?" Maybe it isn't meant to be? Don't get me wrong - I'm not a quitter, I don't like quitting, nor am I really considering it - yet. But I've been stuck on a plateau since June 2012. I am…

Wedding dress too small - 4 months to fit, can it be done?!
Hello friends! I have a bit of a dilemma where I could use some "been there, done that" advice. I never thought - especially after already losing 50 lbs - that I would be that "omg I need to get in shape for my wedding" bride. Dresses come in all shapes and sizes and what bride doesn't look loveliest on her wedding day?!…
