Hi ladies,
I'm so excited about having a group to share in the next 30 days with. I've been working out pretty regularly but occasionally have a lack in motivation...which is ridiculous seeing I have less than 4 months till our wedding, but hey it happens.
Like some of the others, I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I've never been "obese" but I've also never felt comfortable in a 2 piece and ultimately that's my goal. I'm 5'5 and my heaviest weight was 170lbs about a year and a half ago. My best weight was 131lbs 5 years ago when I ran the Chicago marathon. Even then, I didn't have a flat stomach and didn't feel super great in a swimsuit, but looking at where I am today, I'd spend good money (that I don't have, lol) to get back to that weight.
I'm currently weighing in at 156lbs and hope to be down to 140lbs by our wedding day. I'd LOVE to be 136lbs or less, but I'm a realist. And the reality is that as much as I like working out I also like food - chocolate especially! I swear that chocolate is the devil, lol. I do eat fairly healthy, count my calories and am a regular at Subway - so when I do indulge in chocolate I don't beat myself up over it...I save that for the gym.
So, I'll be going less off of measurements and more off of changes on the scale and in how my clothes fit.
I'm also training to run the Chicago marathon again this October and hoping between my runs, doing this workout and several P90X routines that I can get to my goal weight of 131lbs by October.
Good luck to all of you and congrats on your upcoming weddings!
