I would so love a buddy who is getting married, in 2005. So we can talk weddings and fitness.
About myself!
Getting married September 03 2005. Live in Alberta Canada, wedding will be in Saskatchewan Canada, Engaged since December 11 2004....Not even a month! Current weight 225...and my goal weight is 160...hopefull by september.
I am already married, but can offer you a piece of encouragement - The six months before my wedding, I lost the most weight ever in the shortest amount of time - a wedding is great motivation!!! Unfortunately, I gained all my weight (and more) back, but hopefully you won't have that problem. Best of Luck and Congratulations on your engagement and upcoming wedding!
My wedding is in January of 06. That's my long term goal, to be 40 lbs lighter by then. I have imagined it all my life and now trying to imagin it at my current weight is depressing so I made the goal to be at a healther/happier weight for that perfect day! It is a really great motivator!
I got engaged in April '04 and plan to marry April '05. I need to lose a whopping 80 pounds, but I would settle for 40-50 by April. I am not going all out with a formal wedding ceremony, gown, attendants, etc. because my whole family is on mainland USA, and I am in the Virgin Islands. For the moment, I am just wanting to lose as much as possible just to be healthier in general.
Has anyone ever tried appetite suppressants? I know all about the stimulants like ephedrine, which I would not touch. Does anyone know of something non-stimulant, safe, that has worked? Something that does not cause nervousness or insomnia? Please share. Meanwhile, let us focus on our wonderful goal of being healthy and beautiful and slimmer brides. I do not follow a strict diet per se, but occasionally do modified Scarsdale or SBeach. More importantly, I have totally given up refined foods like: white sugar, white bread, processed food, soda, and junk food. It is not as daunting as it seems, and carb cravings either do not happen or they are brief, then disappear.
Good luck to all. If anyone needs a buddy, please let me know...I will be happy to pm.
