I just joined and really want to make a lifestyle change. I have been struggling with body image issues since my early teens (even during times when I was super healthy and fit). I have worked long and hard on my self-esteem, but now I want to loose this extra weight so I can be healthy and fit and feel good.

I recently got engaged and realized that no matter what I am going to look beautiful on my wedding day, but I want to feel beautiful that day and every day (ok NOT everyday- everyone is entitled to off days).

Anyway, found this site through a friend who has been hugely inspirational, and I am just looking for the support system that is so essential through this! Would love good tips and ideas on anything from fighting cravings, to fun exercise, to yummy and healthy recipes!

    It sounds as though you are on the right track. The most important thing about any type of lifestyle change is that you are willing to make the commitment to yourself to do it. If you have a bad day, don't worry about it, just get back on track. I had to make my mind up that I was going to do it this time. Feel free to add me as a friend. I have lots of great friends on here that give me all the support I need. And if I am not doing very good, they call me on it too. It really helps to have to be accountable to someone. We are all in the same struggle with weight and self esteem issues so you are not alone. On days when you don't feel like working out, just do it anyway. You have a huge motivator, your wedding) to help you along. Good luck to you! I know you can do it! ;)
