My Wedding Day

in Introduce Yourself
I am 47 years old. I have been married twice but I have never had a wedding. Oh sure, my 1st hubby and I eloped to Reno and got married in the "chapel o' love", in a store bought dress, but I didn't get to send out invitations, plan the cake, have a dress made just for me.. y'know, A WEDDING!! Well, my fiance' proposed Christmas morning and I'll be gosh darned if I'm gonna be a fat bride! I'm 5'10" and I weigh 288. I have almost two years to get to 140 or a size 12, whichever comes first. I feel like everything is coming together what with finding this free site! FREE!! Amazing. And the food list is so extensive. I have not found a food yet that wasn't in there somehow. So....today is the day. I went and bought fruit, vegies, various different "health" foods. And most of all, if I blow it here and there, I'm not going to beat myself up. I'm done with that. I'm human. I make mistakes. But my biggest challenge is to be awake and present each and every day. Not going through my day on automatic pilot, making poor choices just because they're easier.

My name is Madison and I'm not going to be fat anymore.

    hi madison unlike you i've been there 2x & will be going sometime in 2012. i'm kinda krazy i'd love 2 get married on the beach in jamaica in a bathing suit so i know there is alot of work 2 be done, especially toning. u can do it, good luck. lots of fruits, veggies, water & dont deprive urself thats when u cheat. most of all keep moving; take the stairs at work, park far away from the stores, walk period.

    Welcome! You have come to the right place. I found for myself that having a goal like your wedding keeps you motivated. My motivation was family pictures. I did not want to stare at my fat self all the time so I had to get to work. Good Luck ... YOU CAN DO IT!!!
