Low Carb Diet and Wanting to get into shape Support Thread


Recommended Posts

@McKlecker - 3 weeks!!  Not long at all!!  I've done that rose cleanse before, I should try it again!  Sooo, unfortunately not very good results from the military diet - I stayed the exact same weight - Even though I was exercising and followed the diet perfectly - My FI on the other hand dropped 1.5 Kg... GRRRRRRRrrrr  He's been losing weight all over the place!!  Soooo Frustrating!!  I want to still lose at least 10 lbs in the next 3 months - which is totally possible, I need to control my diet and portion sizes... Not easy!

I highly recommend Pilates! It will tone you and sculpt you beautifully! I have been doing pilates off and on for years, but upped the intensity the last couple of months. I am not officially doing any diet, but I have stopped eating bread and rice. In August I ordered my dress from Macy's in 2 sizes, a 6 and an 8. I almost returned the 6 because I thought there was no way I would ever get it to zip up over my 34D bust. I am so glad I kept the 6! I went from it not zipping, to trying it with a minimizing strapless bra, to now having enough room to have cups sewn in. The alterations will cost as much as the dress as I need the waist taken in while leaving the bust alone, a much more difficult procedure, but to have my true hourglass back after all these years, I'm ok with the cost. I started Wundabar Pilates 2 weeks ago and it really works on all over toning. My FI also bought me a FitBit, which I love! It makes me want to walk! And we now take walks together. I have lost about 20 pounds since April. I have not been at this weight in 10+ years.

how are the rest of you girls doing??

 

I ended up down 17lbs total for my wedding, and gained about 5 back during my 10-day all inclusive wedding-moon. We were super lazy, and I expected that. I've taken 3 of those back off in the 2 weeks we've been back, and will keep working at it.

My wedding is in 2 weeks.... I was doing REALLY well - and then the holidays hit - I've been referring to that as my Christmas Kilo - that stubbornly won't leave!  But, back on track now... Anybody have any LAST MINUTE tips for a desperate bride!  I'd like to drop about another 4-5lbs in the next 2 weeks...  I work best under pressure!! haha

Yeah I was thinking of that too.. since we'll be at the resort for 4 days BEFORE the wedding, I don't want to gain all the weight back and feel bloated on the day, and I also don't want to be bored and pissed of not drinking with my guest :( I was thinking, vodka or white rum with carbonated water. I know clear alcohol is less caloric and has less sugar, and then you definitely don't want to mix with juice or soda... And try to limit my intake to 2-3 drinks a day.. I know people start drinking early in the day, I'll try to stick to water as long as I can, and keep Alcoholic drinks for night time.

 

As for the food, try to cut on carbs for sure and limit your fruit & dairy consumption for the next 2 weeks. You will see a difference. 

 

Good luck :)

    • 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!
