Weight Loss support for 2011 brides!!


rus

Recommended Posts

I hit my 1st weight goal..and dropped from a size 12 to an 8 (that was a year of hard work). I would still love to get down 5-10 pounds and I have 3 months...getting excited..nothing like a wedding dress and wearing a bathing suit in front of family and friends to get me going. I also put a picture on my treadmill of a model in a wedding dress that looks a bit like my dress...that skinny chick pisses me off and makes me work harder : )

I like my protein drink as well.

Its from GNC & its called Pro Performance Amplified Wheybolic Extreme 60. Chocolate flavor. It tastes great!


@choeft201 - that is awesome! Congrats! I am sure it wasn't easy! It's definitely motivation knowing your friends & family will be there. LOL about the picture!! Hey if it helps right!

I get it at Costco..........its just called Kirkland Chocolate Protein Shake.

 

What takes just as good is the Muscle Milk Light Chocolate which is about the same ingredients.....Give that a try, i really like it.

 

It comes ready to drink, no mixing or powders......i drink after my workout......i have it in my gym bag, i dont drink it every day tho....

Hi ladies,

 

I think that this is an excellent question. Now I'll start by saying that I'm NOT a nutritionist so take that for whatever you will, however, I do consider myself to be fairly well-read on the subject and through my own personal experience know that the 1000, 1200 or whatever recommendations are generally BS. I think often those recommendations are based on doing very little to know physical activity...so someone who is 5'2 and 120 lbs can certainly survive on 1000 calories a day if they lied in bed all day lone...that's like the minimum your body needs. However, if you're only consuming 1000 calories, you're probably not getting nearly all the vitamins and minerals you need!

 

I stopped following all those calorie counting websites because basically I think they're a load of garbage. I used to follow them quite a lot and lost either no weight or maybe like 2 lbs while feeling sluggish and grumpy. However, I am currently 5,2" and 118 lbs...however, believe it or not, I eat around 1800 calories a day and about 80 g of fat (all GOOD fat) and I have actually lost weight by eating this way (and I know many others who have too)...all lean protein, veggies, very low carb (most of my carbs are from veggies and like half a cup of oats or All Bran in the morning), and no dairy. I know this sounds extreme...these are the basic fundamentals of an athletic or bodybuilding diet...it does not mean you will end up looking like a body builder but the general principal is, to look lean, you need to eat lean (but that doesn't mean starving yourself as you can see from the amount of calories and fat above) - once you hit that point, you can incorporate some more carbs and dairy back into your diet and some occasional fun stuff (cheesecake is like one of my best friends...in moderation, lol). And always eat every3-4 hours!

Shannon - you give such great advice!!  Everything you say is correct and the way/what you eat is great.

Glad you're seeing some changes!! Keep it up :) I know I can get there, it's just so much harder to lose the weight. When I was in my 20's, the weight would just melt off with minimal effort. I'm definitely working harder and eating better. I'm seeing the results, I just wish I could get there faster.

I'm two months into doing P90X and have seen great results so far...it is a challenging schedule to get into but it has given me some structure in my workout routines and I can do it any time of day as it is done from the comfort of your own home.

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
