    Ok, so we are down to the wire

    I started Atkins in the beginning of May, and did wonderfully. I lost 13 pounds in the first two weeks, then started sneaking in a cheat here and a cheat there. Needless to say, I am back to feel fat and frustrated.

    So...I am getting married in 5 weeks, and I want to be beautiful! I have about 50 pounds total to loose, and will still be on this WOE after the wedding. But until then, I am strick induction, hoping to loose about 20 pounds. I am so annoyed that I let myself slip back into old ways of eating. I feel so great when eating on this WOL, so much energy, feel fit, body feels cleansed. So I am more determined than ever. Here I go.

    The lady who is doing my dress alterations said to me last week "you will want to get some spanx to hold in this area (pointing to my love handles and thighes)" I say to her, NO, I AM NOT GOING TO NEED THEM!

    Wish me luck!

      Ammamady welcome back. Dig deep and you can lose quite a bit of weight in time for your wedding. Be strict with yourself, and the cravings will stop, which makes it so much easier, as you know already. Best wishes.

          Hello to you. Well ... your dress maker is going to be SO surprised!! What a wonderful goal. You sound really determined and positive. Do it for you though honey, okay. Keep in mind that you deserve to slim and healthy and energised - not just because you are getting married. You deserve it, just because you are you. Let us know how it's going. I hope you are going to post a picture of you in your wedding dress. Lotsa luv to you.

              i got mine at beachbody.com...they also do the turbo jam stuff. some of the gals got theirs off of e-bay. that might take a little longer. we have a thread in the challenge section called "slim in 6 help me look hot in my wedding dress" or something like that. i started it weeks ago when i did the program but lots of fun folks have joined up all along and are getting great results....check it out (but don't be TOO scared by their comments about the squat ****!)

              can't wait to see the dress

                  Hey there!

                  Just wanted to stop by as a fellow newbie and say YOU CAN DO IT!!!
                  Your wedding is such a good motivator, I have no doubt your dress maker will be gob-smacked when you next see her at the change in you!!!

                    Hey ammamady! Welcome back


                    ...A wedding dress. I agree with others that you do have a wonderful motivation. Sugars and carbs are such insiduos monsters, aren't they? They call our names at night and tempt us with the "one bite won't hurt". But we know it does.
                    ..I know I've said this a few times on this board, but I want to share what is keeping me from cheating. Remembering "how great I felt" Does NOT work for me. My body says "tomorrow". However, if you have terrible 'Induction Flu' like I did.... Embrace it, write down every miserable minute of it. Then when you feel like cheating, ask yourself if you want to go through that feeling again. That sends me running for a legal way to eat.
                    ...You can do it girl, No Luck needed. Drinks lots of water , get plenty or excercise , and stay 100% legal, strictly by the book! You'll be a beautiful bride

                        Hey Amanda,

                        I understand your struggles and your want to be thinner, but you said something that concerned me "So...I am getting married in 5 weeks, and I want to be beautiful!" I don't know what you look like but I but your problem is not that you not beautiful, you just wanna look better in you dress. Trust me we're all beautiful and/or handsome! Just ask the lucky man who will soon be your husband, I'm sure he'll agree with me!

                            I'm rooting for you too. What motivation. If you even think about having a cheat on your induction, think about how you'll feel in years to come looking at your photos, knowing you could have lost a few more pounds! You can easily loose 14 pounds in time for your wedding and those love handles will be melted away! I'm cheering you on!
