re: Weight loss journey

Quoting ♥Love♥:" Do you all think working out with weights at this point is helpful? Or do I really need to just focus ... [snip!] ... do both and Im just being lazy but are weights helpful to me now? My wedding is 5.5 months away so I need to get on this!"

Honestly both are important but if you're only going to pick one right now I'd pick cardio since you need to get the extra layers off before you can see the physical difference. Have you thought about trying something like the 30DS? It combines both and is only 20 minutes of working out so it's easy to stick to.

Quoting ♥Love♥:" I think I am going to give Sensa a try. We decided to hold off on ttc until after the wedding so this would be a good time to do it. Has anyone tried it or known people who have?"

Never tried it, did try Alli a long time ago and had decent results with that though the way it messes up your digestion if you eat badly is no joke! LOL

Quoting aℓyssa™:" five and a half months is plenty of time to lose 20lb! I know you can do it.   "

Agreed! You can do it Love!!

Quoting ☮[amber].™:" Weighed myself this morning. Not as much as I was hoping, but I am also on my period so I have a lot ... [snip!] ... was 193 when I got weighed last Thursday and as of 15 mins ago, this is my scale: A total of 7.4 lbs down from last Thursday."

That's great weight loss!

Well I started the low carb diet yesterday, yay! Starting weight yesterday was 190.3 so down a few lbs from my holiday gain lol. I'll weigh in on Monday to see how I'm doing  

It was so nice to eat until I was satisfied but still eating way better things overall. I tried the loaded cauliflower that I pinned, trading sour cream for the ranch, and it was amazing! It will be hard to give up my red wine, but it's only for two weeks so I'll be fine lol.

Starting working out today too. Just reinstated my gym membership, soooo excited!!

Woo!  

That's awesome! I'm gonna go to the store on Monday and buy some things for the recipes you've pinned.  

Seth bought me 4 of those wraps and the defining gel.  

I was telling him I really wanted to try them, but I was iffy on them. And of course he had no idea what I was talking about. So I sent him the link along with some "before and afters" of people that supposedly have done them.

He was really intrigued by them and found a pretty good deal on ebay.   So, he told me he bought them because he wants to know if they work or not and I'm allowed to make a purchase for something that doesn't work (in case it doesn't) because he spent like $400 a few years ago on weightloss pills/regimen that was a giant bust.

Great!! I just also found out that Walmart by me carries the Atkins frozen meals, that way if I don't want to cook I can just microwave a meal!

Hahaha that's great. Well let us know if they work!!

Nice!

I keep a giant stack of Lean Pockets in my freezer for those nights that I don't want to cook.   I know they're not that great for you, but it's definitely better than eating out!

Quoting ~*~ Nichole ~*~:" Hahaha that's great. Well let us know if they work!!"

I will!   I'm really hoping it does, because my love handles could handle to lose a view inches.  

Hey Ladies you are all doing a great job keep up the great work. Ive been kind of slacking I managed to push myself to workout last night and I am glad that I did. I plan on working out again today later in the evening. I too am one that would like to loose some weight before I get married (in Aug) I am hoping I can really push hard the next 2 or 3 months before I go and order my dress. Ive been juicing in the mornings but really would like to be doing it 2 times a day.

Quoting aℓyssa™:" I will!   I'm really hoping it does, because my love handles could handle to lose a view inches.   "

Ive always wondered if those work too. How long does it take to when your "suppose to" see results? How do you actually use them?

From what I've read, is you put them on for 45min and then over the next 72 hours it tightens/firms things up. And you can repeat every 3rd day with another wrap. From the before/afters I've seen, you really see the difference after the 2nd or 3rd wrap.

And I had a friend that that used 6 and her stomach looked great! You could definitely tell, but then she started eating out every day and her changes quickly disappeared, lol.

I'm not holding my breathe, but I'm hoping it does do something.

I'll take pictures before/after each wrap and share with you ladies!
