You can do it! Just really focus on it. Get rid of all the ice cream - just give it to someone or toss it out. If it isn't in my house, I won't eat it!

You want a kick? You got a kick!! *KICK* =D

Well missy........you need to light that fire under your @ss and get your butt in gear!! Because your getting MARRIED in under 4 weeks!!! It's sooo close!! 5 lbs is going to be super easy for you but you need to just pep yourself up and do it. Heck, I'll even be your go-to person for accountability until your wedding if you like!

And, you can always join the Bridal Bootcamp Team and/or the Lose 10 By the End of October Teams that I lead. Scroll down to my signature and you will find the links

We have a fun little challenge going on in the Lose 10 team, a Halloween Crunch Challenge, if you'd like to join.

Hi all,

I need some positive encouragement to get me going! My wedding is just under 4 weeks away (eek!) and I can't seem to get my butt in gear to lose a few pounds before the wedding! Little bit of background - Between December and May I lost 25 pounds and was at a really fit, toned weight. But since then I've gained back 8! Every day for the past month I've said "Okay, I'm starting TODAY/TOMORROW" but then I never do! Or I'll make it to the gym for 2 or 3 days and then stop. Not only that, but I find myself eating chocolate or ice cream every night, as a way to calm my nerves!

I know that with less than a month, I can't expect to lose 8 pounds, but I'll settle for 5! Problem is, I start every day with good intentions but then don't follow through. Sometimes I feel like I don't have the mental or physical energy to dedicate to it right now, with all the wedding stuff going on. Other times, I get too busy to get to the gym, and am so exhausted that when I try to wake up early for a workout, I end up hitting the snooze button a million times! Sometimes, I also feel kind of apathetic about it, like "Oh, who cares, I'm fine a few pounds overweight." But at the same time, I don't want to be a few pounds overweight!
I want my motivation back! Any tips, advice, encouragement???
Thank you!
