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!

I am fairly new too, and an on-again, off-again atkins gal! On again is definitely worth it! Just think about that wedding dress everytime you are tempted. And by the way... spanx are NOT evil! I wore them even when I was 130# just for the peace of mind that I looked better and didn't have to stress about "sucking in" all day! Stick with it, it's worth it!

Thanks to everyone for the support!! I haven't been doing very well the last week. I am the queen of finding good excuses to binge (graduated from college, moved, last week at work, etc). But I had a dress fitting yesterday, and it did fit better. I am still a bit disappointed about my love handles though...

So immediately from the shop, I went to the gym. I am so proud of myself. I didn't let excuses even begin to develop. I did 40 minues of cario, then about 30 minutes of weights. I am SORE!!! It feels so good though. I am going to be dedicated to that gym until July 25th (day before the wedding)

Selfreinvented- thank you for the concern. I guess I just need to clarify. I do believe I am beautiful, I think everyone is. I guess I just meant to say that I want to LOOK as beautiful as I feel everyday. And I am getting there. Thank you for the reality check though.

You all are wonderful and I will let you know how the next week goes!

Yikes ... sounds like you have so much going on at the moment hon. I hope you are going to find time to just focus on you too in the middle of all the STRESS (laughing). Well done on graduation. That's so great. Keep on moving steadily forward hon. Next time the dress will be even looser. Lotsa luv to you.
