I think that healthy habits are really the key to losing weight and I'm trying to adopt some of them. I've been walking alot more. I'm not supposed to drive anyway so I've sort of extended the distance that I'll walk by asking for rides less often. If I have to go somewhere that the bus doesn't go, and it's only a mile or two away, I'll walk.
My new hobby, geocaching, adds alot of walking during the day.. Yesterday I walked around 6 or 7 miles. It's nice to get exercise while you're doing something you like to do.
I've also switched to mostly diet soda instead of the regular sodas. I figure that cuts out about 135 pounds of sugar per year that I'll not be putting into my body. I've also cut down the amount of food that I eat. I hope that all of these changes produce some results.
As far as the wedding... we haven't gone shopping for dresses yet, and the wedding may be getting moved out a bit which is fine by me... I'll have a little more time to lose the weight. I don't think that my friend has given a great deal of thought about dresses yet, but that subject may soon become important to her, and frankly, I can't wait to see what she chooses.
