Okay I am posting because I feel like I have to be accountable to someone lol and writing it makes me feel like I am??? I am almost 3 months out and all the talk about losing 15 to 20 pounds before my wedding is not working out. i was so motivated a few months ago i was going to zumba and really making time for myself and eating right and i was down 10 pounds and getting some strength and definition but then i went on a CRUISE last month and although I worked out everyday while I was there and only gained a pound I got into terrible eating habits again (buffet and dessert everyday was a terrible choice a few months before my wedding) and since I have been back i have not done one single strength training excercise or a zumba class ugggh. and of course my obsession with this website and making projects coupled with christmas shopping after work has left me exhausted and feeling like shit about myself so I want to get back on the horse even though i just ate a ring ding and tomorrow I am going to zumba and sunday i will resume my strength training. I have to stop staying up all night on this website so maybe I could workout in the AM...... 

Thanks for listening. My FI is tired of the same complaint about how miserable i am everyday lol

oh don't I know this fight.......its the worst, but my only advice is just JUMP BACK IN!!!!!!!   It is the only way you are going to reach your goal and feel better (the best part is, you'll feel 1000 times better right after your first Zumba class!!!)!!!!

Its the worst feeling, "the hole" thats what I call it, when you are unmotivated, and can't seem to get back into the swing of things. 

Also, the exercise and proper eating go hand in hand, I am sure once you start back exercising, the desserts and buffet cravings will give way to "what?  if I eat that ding dong, its the equivalant of 3 Zumba classes!!!!".....

 

You can do it.....one Zumba Classa and one strength training session at a time!!!!!!

Just thought I would leave a little note on this thread since it helped me quite a bit during my wedding preparation! I had set a goal to get fit and lose the extra pounds that 2 kids had on my body. I was determined and I have to say that I have never been this fit in my life. I have been skinnier however never this " FIT", which really does make a difference. I didn't starve myself at all this time and I followed the exercise program I was given and it worked like a charm! Following MWises' lead here are some before and after pictures, it was hard to find a picture of me from head to toe but here is one of me in 2010 and beside it is one of me during my wedding week. Hope it can encourage some of you brides out there and I am proof that it can be achieved! )

Thanks so much for the vote of conifidence MWise!! It really is hard work and determination but the overall results are fantastic! Have you been able to keep it off since you've returned are you still working out?? I have to admit I haven't worked out as much....however I don't want to go back to way I was before!

[Mwise17]

Hey!

Anytime...you put in the work, and you got results...

 

I gained 7 pounds (booooo)....however, I just found out I am expecting!  yeahhhhhhh!

but am not far along enough to say the 7 is from baby.

I just added bread back into my diet (oh how I love thee) and I also wasn't working out half as much, and throw in the xmas holidays...but I just started bootcamp again (taking it a LITTLE easy due to being in my 1st trimester) but am still working hard. Also, Chris is the bootcamp instructor...lol...so he doesn't go easy on me.  I will be doing that 3x a week ....lets hope I lose some of that additional weight

 

Its hard to keep at it, but I am sure like me, you started to enjoy the exercise, so we have to keep at it as a stress reliever/our time as much as keeping the weight down!

GOOD LUCK!

I got married in the DR in June of 2011. I know how hard it is to try to look your best for your wedding day.I don't know how to post this without it saying or looking like a scam, lol. But I wish I had known about this before my wedding and it really does work. I'm a stay at home wife and this is what I do on the side.
