I put away the scale and TRY to get 1200 calories a day (low carb) and have lost 10 lbs since New Years...Before New Years, I had weighed the same for about 8 months. YOU CAN STILL LOSE if you want to. I thought I was 'stuck', but obviously I'm not. I just got the body bugg in the mail. I can't wait to start using it. ...6 lbs from goal!!!!!!
6 pounds from goal!?! That's incredible, girl! My goal is net 1250 cals a day (fine to eat more, as long as I'm moving more) but it's hard. The trick, I guess, is to not give up on myself just because it's hard! I know I say this when I comment on your vids too, but love love love seeing your videos. Thanks for the encouragement!
OMG Cant wait to see your dress!! Would u imagine urself in a fitted dress a year ago?? good for u!!! U can totally get to 158 in 16 weks!! I look forward to ur weekly updates!!!
Hey girlie! I cannot believe for even a second that I'm going to wear a fitted dress. Before I would have looked for the most puffy, flowy, lossest thing I could find!!
I got to 14lbs from goal and decided to crash diet them off. As you can probably guess I ended up gaining instead. One year post op and 180lbs and I still don't "get it". Positive well both get to goal! BTW: wedding dresses are made about a size smaller than regular clothes so you're probably a 10 now.
Let's get to goal the right way together! I'm tracking cals and protein, trying to get some sort of exercise every single day. We can totally get (and stay!) there!
we are all totally cheering you on! So super excited to see your dress! Yay! :-) you are going to be a gorgeous bride! I know planning can get stressy, but don't forget to have fun in the process! Great to see a new vid. from you, and p.s. don't worry, you could make 5 and we'd watch em', so don't apologize for 2 lol :-) yay! I'm so happy for you!
Thanks!! I don't think the weight gain was muscle (sadly) but I do think my body fluctuates a lot with water, so these new pounds should come off pretty quick. The real culprit, though, is my sweet tooth. I have to keep a distance from the sugar!
SUGAR IS EVIL! lol.. :-) but I totally know what you're sayin'! :-) You are going to be a gorgeous bride... I'M so friggin' excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
first of all, you look stinking adorable in your little white sweater! :-) I look forward to wearing white lol. you look So cute! Do you think that some of the weight could have been muscle & temp. adjustment? Bc of all the activity? Or even the pcos reaction to sug/carbs? I know i have a hard time w/sug&carbs. Anyway I'll be on the losers bench in 2 wks! See ya there! :-)
I've got 60 days to decide which dress I want to keep (eek!) so hopefully I'll be closer to a 10 soon. But, yeah, I've read that 90% of brides crash diet before their weddings. Awful but true!
That is the cutest sweater. Good luck, I am sure you can do it! I stayed away for a while for the same reasons and the weight gain after being hardcore and then falling off is kind of crazy. Can't wait to hear more details about the wedding and to see your dress. I might join you around week 14 (maybe not on video but in my head) Hugs :)
First, can I borrow your sweater or have it when you're too small for it??? Secondly, I love long videos from you! You can totally get to your goal--it's so close! I'm 10ish pounds away from my initial goal and it is taking FOREVER to get there. Pictures of your dress, pretty please!? <3
Hahaha. I LOVE this white sweater, but if I ever get too small for it I will totally send it your way. I can't decide if I should take a video of me in my dress now or when I'm a touch smaller. Maybe at the halfway point between now and the wedding?
YAY! My new itouch should be coming in the mail any day. I bought it in large part because I wanted to be able to carry it with me and use Loseit to track my foods to help kick my weight loss back into high gear. So, heck yeah I will get on and add you :) Can't wait to see your amazing dress, and also to cheer you on during these next 16 weeks! LOVE your vids :)
I can't think of a greater motivation! 60 days! anyone can do anything for 60 days! You're getting married! you have a wonderful partner! you have a beautiful gown! you are so close...and we're all rooting for you!
I'm super excited for you! you look like a bride in white today. if you could look this lovely in a sweater, you'll be stunning in your wedding gown!
Vivz, you are the sweetest! So happy to know you're on my side, cheering me on :) I see your updates on fb sometimes about all the miles you're logging and I'm flabbergasted. You totally inspire me!

Doesn't every bride crash diet to get into their dress?
Size 10 sounds so much better that 12....even though 12 sounds good to me since I am a 18...haha.
I know you can do it ....but the size 10 now and you will have it for sure...than return the size 12.....good luck!
