Well.....I've taken the first step on my journey...yay!!!
 

Good Evening Ladies! I hope everyone had a wonderful day today!:D I went to the grocery store today and cleaned out my fridge and pantry. As of tomorrow I am starting my calorie counting adventure.:carrot: Can't you tell I'm excited?? I am however, looking forward to starting my walking agian. I pray that I dont start coughing up a lung and have to stop. My dr gave me the go ahead to start walking again at a slow pace bc of this stupid respiratory virus that I have... UGH! I'm so ready to go full force and kick it into gear! I dont have mucg time before I have to start trying on wedding dresses. I'm trying to hold off on that b/c I just dont want to become overly depressed and get into a slump. So....I am going to wait till May to start trying on dresses....... Doesnt mean I cant look though!! Time to go watch Biggest Loser.. Tata for now....

Hope everyone has a great night!!:flow1:

Brilliant! :carrot:

I second the weights! I love going to the gym, I never thought I would be able to enjoy any sort of exercise that much! It really helps your muscles tone up too, and Ive really noticed my body shape has changed a bit because of it.

What sort of dress do you fancy?

Good for you for getting started!

Walking is great exercise . . . I started out with walking as my primary exercise also.

Well, walking is all that I am allowed to do right now. Once my respiratory virus is gone, I can do whatever. And with the walking, it cant be fast paced yet. Which sucks, but i guess in the end, if my Dr says I have to wait, I guess I have to wait : (

Ummmm....Lets see.... there is this one dress that I really like at Davids Bridal, and i can't wait to try it on, but i am scared to dealth to try it on bc I will be so depressed if it makes me look like a barrel. I have not worn any type of dress or skirt since I was about 16....so really in 10 years But anyway, if you want to see what it look like, just pull up davids bridal and put in item #9V9010

Let me know what ya think!

Ohh thats gorgeous! I especially love the little sleeves on it. Really pretty!

I had a Benjamin roberts dress http://www.benjaminroberts.co.uk/classic_collection.htm, no 802, in white.

I found when I was looking that the sort of dress I wanted didnt look good at all. Just be willing to try on different styles and you will find something perfect that gives you the biggest smile! :dizzy:
