Any wedding diets out there?

Have you girls been on any "diets" or changing any eating/exercise routines to prepare for the big day?

I've officially rejoined Weight Watchers. It works for me and I don't see it as dieting, but more like learning to eat properly regarding portion size especially. I go to the gym now too but that's more because I want to be healthy. I didn't used to be very active so I'm trying to change that.

I started weight watches again last week and going to the gym more often. I'm hoping to lose 60 plus pounds before the wedding. My dress finally came in and was a bit small

I've lost 4 pound my first week and I just have to keep it going.

I'm more conscience about what I eat I track it on my fitness pal and I try hit gym. I'm not on a huge diet I won't deprive myself of food or sweet treats ill just eat minimal.

I started following the wheat belly "diet" about a month after we got engaged and lost about 15 lbs. before our engagement pictures.

I haven't been as strict lately, but still completely avoiding wheat and gluten. I plan on going to the gym to tone up as it gets closer. I'm happy with my weight but just want my arms to look good in my strapless dress.

I started weigh watchers for the first time a few weeks ago, but not just because of wedding...generally I keep just gaining weight. Not much, but a tiny bit at a time and over the last year in particular I've noticed a difference. I do need to lose just a bit before the wedding...maybe 5 pounds ish for my dress to fit better. The last year has been really stressful work wise which has been part of the reason I havn't been good with excersize/diet. I'm starting a new job in a week or two, so hopefully that will help with the stress, but I'll be driving way way more, so I'm not sure what that will do!

I started walking on my breaks and lunch time while at work. I cut out chips, sugar and soda. I cut down the carbs...I love the carbs!!! LOL

I'm just trying to watch portion size better, avoid sweets and chips. I don't drink pop either so that's good. I'm trying to get my running legs back in shape (I did a 1/2 marathon in 2010 & two 10-mile races) and am trying to not take more than 1 day off in between exercise. I've found that I lose endurance pretty quickly. Yesterday I ran 1.75 miles and felt great!

I use My Fitness Pal to keep track of everything I eat. I absolutely love it because I have the app on my phone and take it everywhere. I have been going to the gym appx 3 days a week (but I definitely need to crank up my workouts a bit more.

One piece of advice someone gave me a long time ago. The best thing a bride can do is grab a few small hand weights and use them daily.... DAILY for an hour while watching tv. I did this last time and dropped 2 bra sizes and my upper body looked great. The rest is hidden under the dress

Been using my fitness pal since Sept 2nd, have lost about 5 lbs since then. Plan on just maintaining the weight loss over the holidays. But the weights are helpful.

I've been on WW for about 3.5 years now, so to be honest, I have the food part down... My issue is working out.... the issue is, I don't (being active is a part of WW as well, I just have avoided it)... I need to lose about 20 lbs before my 1st dress fitting (which will be in March, so I have time). So my big plan isn't dieting, it's getting active and getting my big butt in gear. I just struggle to keep up with it... I get ambitious for about a week or two and then stop... I can't seem to keep up any exercise I start.

tandrosoff · October 2012

I just posted a new message about Weight Watchers before finding ths board. Maybe we could start a weekly chat about how our weightloss journey is going? I only actually know 2 people who are on WW so it would be nice to talk to someone else about it.
