newbie looking for support

Hi all,
Started this about 25 days ago and I am looking for support. I have at least 100lbs to loose most of which I gained in the last year due to an illness and lets face it emotional eating. I am getting married in May and I refuse to look like a big marshmellow in my wedding gown. Lol. Seriously, looking for people to help me be accountable and I will do the same for you! Getting weighed at my nutritionist office on the 19th and I hope I can post my first weight loss. Wish me luck!

    First off, congratulations in making the change, and accepting "the new you". You can do this. Just believe in yourself.

    Welcome to MFP.

    I always say its a mindset, and when you are ready to change, the hard part is past you. I am not saying this is going to be easy, but with proper drive and determination, you can do it.

    Welcome to your new food modification behavior!

MFP has really helped me with my weight loss goals not to mention I have met some super fantastic stalkers on this site. LMAO! Seriously....there are great people here and I've enjoyed getting to know them. The more personal they become, the more accountable I become.
