Operation Lose Weight
Okay - this is a delicate situation... a person's weight is something personal. Generally, unless you're slim & trim (or a man), you don't go around spouting off how much you weigh. So that makes it difficult to discuss Operation: Lose Weight for the Wedding. JR and I are in this together, which makes it SO much easier.
When we got engaged, we both agreed we wanted to be slim & trim in time for the wedding. With the busy schedules, drinking and great food here, we've gained a lot of weight. I wasn't at my highest weight (luckily!), but let's say this:
Feb 18, 2009: Xlbs (I'd gained 11lbs since Jun 2008!) Goal: X-40lbs.
Apr 14, 2009: 10lbs lost
Jun 15, 2009: 13lbs lost (we joined WeightWatchers)
Aug 19, 2009: 26lbs lost!!!
That means I'm over halfway there! I've dropped several clothes sizes, and continue to see the body changes. With 8 months and change til the wedding, that's not bad. But it's pretty much been lifestyle & diet changes so far; now's when it gets harder. Gotta kick the exercise into high gear (not one of my favorite things.) Things are only gonna get busier, and I've gotta build in the time for it right now.

I've been wanting to get on a health kick as well. One last one before I'm too old to care.
Bravo, Ashley!

Thanks, K! Mwah! to you too
Jonathan - hush up, youngster! as if you're even close to being too old. and i've seen some people recently that remind me you're never too old to start caring. (and do something about it!) seriously - they put us to shame!
And thanks for the bravo! You guys aren't gonna believe it when you see us in Santa Fe!

Ashley, that is AWESOME!!! You're doing FANTASTIC! Keep it up, only 14lbs to lose and you've already lost almost twice that!
Question. Are you doing WW online or actually going to some meetings?

koenigkc: we're doing the meetings. otherwise, for me at least, there's no accountability. plus, you get great info & tips from other members. we hear about all kinds of great food alternatives (like Oroweat Sandwich Thins - they're like a third of a regular bun in thickness!) http://www.sandwichthins.com/
