I didn't know where to post this. I have to wear a bathing suit in 10 days. These are the times that I regret going off plan. All of my swimsuits are too tight. Sigh. My goal for the next week and a half is to eat clean, 1200 calories and exercise at least every other day. If any of you have time, could you please yell at me to GET A SPINE and JUST DO IT!!!

Eating clean will do wonders! I'm sure the holiday weight will melt off!

Start journaling and eating clean NOW! It will make a huge difference.

I have to wear a bathing suit the first and second week of February so I understand!

Thank you! I tried on every bathing suit I have last night and it was a great motivator to keep me on track. Day 1 done, 9 to go....

YOU CAN DO THIS!!

Make like Nike and JUST DO IT
PS. If it's a special occasion, try cutting down on sodium a day or two before you have to wear it to shed some water weight.

You can do this! Move, Move, Move!

On another note, where do you get to go? Sounds like an exciting vacation!

[flippychick]

Good thinking on the sodium! Damn it's hard to avoid! Even fat free cheese has a ton.

I'm going to Jamaica! My first grown-up vacation at an all-inclusive resort.

You Can Do It!!!! Keep Going!!!!! Keep Your Eyes On The Goal!!!!!!

[Shytowngal]

oooh Jamaica! I've never been, but heard it's fabulous. Have a GREAT time!

[imperialistic]

Oh my god, Jamaica? So lucky. You're going to have a ridiculous time.
P.S. Start slathering yourself with body lotion twice a day as well. By the time your vacay comes around, you'll be in love with your soft skin and that's enough to make anyone feel amazing.

This may sound silly, but get a spray tan before you go or use some of Jergens lotion with a hint of color. Tanned skin looks better in a bathing suit!!

Have fun!

I'm already on it - Nivea sun-kissed tinting moisturizer! I'm hoping if I massage it onto my skin really hard it will reduce the appearance of my cellulite. Thanks everyone!

I'm going to the Caribbean whiter than anyone I know. LOL! I'm cool with it. I've been pale my whole life. The last time I cruised, strangers came up to me the whole trip, handing me their sunscreen and telling me I was going to burn if I didn't put it on.

I hate the sunless tanners. I tried Nivea's once, but it came off so easily once I was out in the heat. I ended up blotchy, especially on top of my feet. I'm not one to risk the sun or tanning beds, so.... I stay white and remind myself that I have no wrinkles because of it. I'll take the trade-off.

Congrats on Jamaica. I love it there. Have fun in your swimsuit. You can do it!

Jamaica Jamaica!!! Guess what....I am Jamaican! You are going to love it! Which hotel are you staying at?

[flippychick]

Secrets in Montego Bay. Do you know it? I hope it's nice....

I will beware of the tinted moisturizer. Blotchy would at least counteract my naturally occurring "texture".... Lol!
