Hi everyone,

I used to be active on here but have let things slip and put back on the weight and more due to life circumstances :(. I'm back here now to lose some weight and have some new motivation - I'm getting married in 2016 and would love to be slimmer to fit into a nicer wedding dress!

I'm looking for some friends who will be able to help keep me going and offer support - obviously I'd be supporting you as well! I am quite geeky and love to have a laugh and a joke :)

So yeah, feel free to friend me if you want :)

Edited to add: Forgot to say, I'm looking to lose about 50-60 pounds

    Me too (except the getting married part, lol). I lost a lot of weight with tracking my calories and exercising but I have lost my motivation and gained a horrible amount of the weight back. I need motivation and would be happy to do the same for you!

    You can do it! I will be happy to cheer you on. I still regret that I didn't lose the weight I wanted for my wedding (18 years ago now!). It's totally possible. Just start and don't stop! It gets nerve-wracking closer you get to the wedding but you have lots of time to develop good habits so you'll be a happy, healthy bride!

    Happy to help. I've had some success since July being involved in a facebook fitness and nutrition challenge group that a bunch of people from mfp are in. With the added encouragement and accountability that group has given me I have averaged a loss of 1.8 lbs since July. Feel free to message me for more info or add me. ankdworak
