I just had to share the good news. Im so excited im about to burst!
Im getting married soon and i want to getdown to a size 18 before i start going wedding dress shopping. Im a size 26 currently so i need to lose about 90lbs.
I don't think anything has ever motivated me more then this.
The excitement, the anticipation! Its killing me!

    Congrats! When are you going shopping? 90 lbs should take 12-18 months to achieve.
    10_15 weeks for the first 20 lbs
    12-20 weeks for the next 20 lbs
    35-45 weeks for the next 35 lbs
    30 weeks for the last 15 lb
    I know that doesn't add up exactly, but us a good rough guide for safe and realistic expectations.
    Accomplish as much as you can, it will still be an improvement.

    You can add me. I'm not getting married but know the struggle with trying on dresses and feeling good about yourself. I got married 3 years ago and now have baby weight to get off. I have about 50 lbs to lose and love motivational partners!
