CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am sure the ladies (and gentleman) here will have plenty of helpful advice for ya hon!
My recommendation is switching to complex carbs.. that helps!
Well....thanks to Babs and Eggs' encouragement, I'm starting a journal!
About me: About 5 years ago, I weighed around 160 lbs. I joinned Weight Watchers and got down to around 127-130, where I've stayed since then. I've always stuggled with being "skinny fat" -you know the layer of fat all over that covers any muscle you might have.
Currently, I am 125-127, 5'6" and 18.2% body fat as of 3 weeks ago. I've stuggled with my diet a lot. I have a horrible carb-tooth. And I am lacto-ova vegetarian, so carbs are lot of my diet. I also run or do other cardio 4-5 days a week and lift 2-3 days (2 w/a trainer). I also have a tendency to undereat. I did well on weight watchers, but I think I may have been eating around 1000-1200 cals a day w/one day off.
I am getting marriedon June 11 and I want to look buff in my strapless dress and in my bikini on the beach in St. Thomas

Speaking of low-carb milk, I tried some kind of soy low-carb choclate milk, that had like 10g of protein per cup, 4g of carbs, and 4-5g of fat and it was GREAT. I couldn't believe how good it tasted. I'll see if I can find out what brand it was. I am a huge milk junkie too finding some low-sugar high-protein milk would be great.

Do find out MonStar.....since I'm a veggie, I prefer soy milk anyway. Although, I cannot stand it in coffee for some reason.

Need to go shopping after work for other things. It's hard right now to get organized (but I KNOW I have to) because I am still living w/my roommate but my Fiancee lives in our new condo. So I live in both places...mostly at the new place on the weekends. We are so old fashioned
Anyway, I have to become a super planner to make this work!
