Hi Everyone! I just got engaged last week! =-)
I have been on Jenny off and on since Mid Jan. I have had many obsticles and am trying to sick with it as much as possible. Now I have a wedding to really inspire me but I would also really like a support system and buddys so that we can all get thru this together!
I have lost 5lbs and have 55 more to go. I really need some ideas on how to fight the urges to cheat, not just minor stuff but like when the girls visit and want o have drinks,,,,, I struggle, or in the evening, I get board and want to snack!
I also need some ideas on gettign motivated to get up and work out, I have a dog, Bella, who I get out and walk for 20-30 min in the evening but I know that is not enough.
I wish all of you the best luck with your weight Goals! Hope to Have soem buddies soon!
Ciao!
Christina

Congrats on the engagment!! I just got married a month ago and so I know all about the stresses of planning a wedding! I wasn't on jenny till the week before the wedding so I don't know how much help I can be with what to do. But planning and going to all the wedding shows, walking around and getting out even though we don't think about it, is a good work out! If you need anything let me know!

Hey!! Sorry for the late reply!
Trying on wedding dresses is fun!! Sometimes!! My dream dress was horrid on me and the dress I got was one I never thought I would get!! I wish I would have started Jenny sooner. Looking at my wedding photos I'm so embarrassed. People say they don't notice but my stretch marks and back fat hanging out I was like oh god!!!
My wedding was wonderful!! Me and My mom did mostly everything ourselves!! We had black, red and white as our colors. Red dresses for the bridesmaids and white roses and me with red roses! Our tables we got these tall vases and put three white roses and then around we put red tea candels and we got these mini martini glasses and put a red rose bud in and it was on a black table cloth. I was surprised how good it look especially at night, (7pm wedding on 2.13) We got flowers online from costco and stuff from ikea and the craft stores! If you need any ideas or have any questions let me know. I did mostly everything on my own!!

there is a gym at my work too, so Im trying to walk. I bought myself a pedometer so I can be aware of how much I'm active. I just finished my first full month and lost 16 lbs which is phenomenal. I'm hoping to be down to my goal weight by October, I think we're planning a wedding for May of 2010. Yay
How about you?
