BrideToBeBecauseHeLovesMe

I looked but didn't see any posts for today - Hi!!  I hang out on other boards but just recently discovered I need to lose a little bit of weight and tone up before the wedding.

The facts:
- Wedding date is May 1st.
- My SN is uber long so if you just call me B2B (b2b) that might be easier.  My real name's Beth, but I'm used to b2b just as well.
- I love ice cream too much to stop eating it completely, but I'm trying to stop eating so many sweets.
- I really need some motivation because I'm such a procrastinator!!
- I already have a goal to lose some weight, but am nervous because I start birth control on Sunday and that can ADD weight.
- Did I mention I need motivation?  :P

Glad to be here with you ladies - good luck to all of you and your goals.

Hi Beth!  I lurk a lot over here although I don't post as much anymore.  I just thought I'd say about the birth control that BC might cause your appetite to change but as long as you are watching the food you eat and keeping track of the calories, you should be fine.  The biggest thing is just to be conscious of your calories and making sure that you don't give into cravings.

I personally did not experience any difference in appetite but BC affects people differently and different types of BC have different effects.

Welcome!

If you really love your ice cream, I'd say to make sure you allow yourself to have a bit whenever you want.  Just get the good stuff, and portion out whatever serving fits in your calories/points for the day and savor it!

As for motivation ::swift kick in the pants:: how's that?
