Accountability

I've been using MyFitnessPal, and with the help/guidance of my family doctor and a specialist (for an unrelated health thing), I am eating a 1200 calorie/day diet, mostly liquids. I have cut out all empty carbs (bread/pasta/etc.), and am not eating any starch, so no potatoes or rice.

My kids have motivated me, and so has how I want to look in my wedding dress on the day. I will still have a lot of weight to lose even after the wedding, but I'd like to at least have a decent start on it!

I think that keeping myself accountable for what I eat (even a small bite) is essential. You don't realize how those little bites add up!

My key was using MyFitness Pal, I was a bit obsessed about documenting everything and counting macros. I found out which carbs work with me and which ones don't (that was HUGE! and definitely needed patience), so I don't really miss out on much.

For me, not feeling like I absolutely needed a cheat meal was very important. I really like the flexible diet, I lost my first 25 pounds with that (and not exercising), and while it is slower, I managed to keep them off for over two years with minimal correction along the way and travelling around 4 times a year and totally indulging when I'm abroad. I am now working towards losing 15 more.

You should be able to find it now no problem

View quoted message I tried searching for this group but couldn't find it.

View quoted message What motivates me is getting back to a healthy weight for trying to concieve again. I also want to look even more amazing in my wedding dress. I am sooooo excited for my wedding although it is in winter. Which I wouldn’t have chosen if not for the importance of the day of being when our daughter would have been one. There is one diet I do and it seems crazy, but it has worked for me. My only problem in the past was not changing my eating habits and especially since guys can seem to eat anything and not gain a single lbs whereas for me it was like I gained weight just looking at it lol. But I’m dedicated to losing the weight and maintaining it. I joined the Facebook group

I had gained a lot of weight gain after my miscarriage last year July. So far I am down about 90lbs since January and am planning to lose about another 60lbs in the next couple of months.

Hey Tyanna! I'm in the same boat (except looking to lose a little more) so I'm definitely down for us all be accountable to each other! We could have weekly discussions to share how our weeks are going with the wedding health goals

I'm on WW as well! I've lost 13lbs so far, and that's with only following it "most" of the time... haha. Gonna become more dedicated now as the weather warms up and I can get outside!

The weekly meetings really help keep you motivated, and express your strengths and weaknesses with people who get it!

Tyanna, you can follow me on IG: bpow.fits.ww.happy

Yes! I have been trying to go to the gym regularly we also love hikes with our dogs. I am on weight watchers right now as well which really helps as long as I keep to the program.

View quoted message Yes I eat keto.. no carbs is amazing and I really dont miss them! I dont have a Wii anymore but that used to be great motivation for me too!!

I dropped a bunch of weight a few years ago, going Paleo helped me the most! No carbs/dairy I found was the best for me!

Also I weighed myself weekly on my wii fit board which sounds a little lame but watching your little mii get skinnier and skinner was a HUUUUGE motivation for me!

View quoted message I have no idea! Haha

View quoted message Great! Ideally I'd love to lose 75 pounds but I will be happy if I can lose 50

I'm wedding dress shopping in August so I want at least a good start by then!

View quoted message I look forward to it ❤

View quoted message Awesome! I look forward to having some accountability but I'm not too sure yet how wedding wire works. Is it possible to make groups or something to do so?

Thyroid issues can definitely be an uphill battle! Ideally I want to lose 30lbs more. I lost 10 lbs last month, so I’m hoping I can be down 20lbs more by August to start dress shopping. A motivation/ accountability group is an awesome idea.

Hi! I'm getting married September 7, 2019 and I'm working with a personal trainer to help me achieve my goal weight/figure. We can do this

I'm here with you Tyanna! My wedding is October 5th 2019 and although I'm not sure if I will be able to get down to my ideal weight (75 lbs to go!) I am here for you! I have actually been putting it off with reasons like buying a house but no more! WE CAN DO THIS!

Hi ! I’m getting married September 15th if this year and want to lose some weight still so I could really use the accountability as well!
