Motivation to lose weight

Hey y'all,
I have struggled with weight my whole life and tired all the diets out there and eventually just get off track when I hit a major plateau. Now I realize I was looking at it wrong, it's not a diet it's a lifestyle change. Everyday I work out, I am healthier than I was the day before. I am looking for new friends that are possibly in the same boat and go through this weight loss journey together and offer support. I began working out and eating better again in mid January 2017 and now I am recently engaged so I am even more motivated than ever. I have not worn a dress since prom in 2002 so I have till spring next year to slim down my big butt and feel beautiful in a gown. So far in 2 1/2 months I have lost nearly 30 lbs. zjrjfi1ypi31.png
