Hi all :)

I am at the beginning of my journey which started today. As title highlights I am getting married in July of this year and after having twins 11 weeks ago have a little 'extra' on top of my original target to lose.

I know i wont drop dramatically before the big day so now looking at doing what i can until then. Aiming for maybe a stone or stone and a half just so i can chose a dress i like rather then settle for what fits.

I have set up my fitbit and bought myself an exercise bike (getting to the gym between looking after 5 children and hubby to be shifts is near impossible) and am so ready to take the necessary changes to get healthy not just for my wedding but for rest of my life.

Currently have a complete weight loss target of 6st4lbs but set myself little targets to reach in the process.

    Welcome to the group! It sounds like you've already made some positive changes! You have so much on your plate with 5 children including new twins, and a wedding to plan! Hopefully you'll find this little community a good way to escape every now and then!

    Welcome @karaalicia1! I'm a July bride too. Did you just get engaged or have you started the planning earlier? Agree with Sam, that's a ton on your plate! I hope we can help with encouragement/motivation, sharing experiences, or just a place to vent when the stress gets high. Sounds like you have a good strategy with setting little goals as milestones to your larger goals. We usually set monthly goals and at least weekly check-ins; feel free to join March even though we're into the month.

    Definitely post pics when you find your dress!
