Thanks for bumping this post, otherwise I would have never even read it! My wedding is a ways out, but I know it will definitely take me that long to lose the 20lbs. I hope to. I do exercise Mon-Fri doing an hour on the elliptical, but it's so hard for me to get the motivation to then go and do weight training. My DF is the opposite. We don't go out as much as we used to mainly becuase we're trying to save money, so that helps. And I've substituted my diet soda at work for water. My problem is that I always skip breakfast. My DF yells at me and says that I should eat it so it will start my metabolism for the day, but when I do for some reason I always go overboard the rest of the day and feel fat.
I haven't gotten on the scale for a while, because I used to weigh myself everyday in the morning before I ate so that I would be the lightest I could possibly be. But that got depressing because too often it would stay the same of go up .5 lbs. after working out and eating well the previous day. UGH, I wish I was one of those girls that had it easy--fast metabolism where no matter what I ate I wouldn't gain any weight. Funny how my brothers all got this gene. Eat a bag of Doritos for them in one day and they LOSE weight the next day. Unfair!
