Hi everyone. I came across this website by accident, just googling how many calories were in certain foods, and I love it already. I think having everything I consume right in front of my face, makes me a little more concious of my food choices.

I am getting married in a year. I recently found a dress that I absolutley LOVE and it is too small. I am currently a size 20 and the dress is a 14. The dress is one of a kind and cannot be purchased in a larger size, but I am bound and deterimined to wear that dress (and look amazing) on my wedding day. I was never "petite" but always at a healthy, reasonable weight in high school. Then I had my son, went to college, blah, blah, blah and now I am no where near what I was and am very uncomfortable with myself. I lost 10 lbs before I found this website, but the weight is now falling off even faster with the tracking system. I am super excited and look forward to being confident, comfortable, and stunning on my wedding day.

    Hi and welcome. Congratulations on the upcoming nuptials! I just got married 8 months ago and I am still excited about the marriage. I just joined this site on Sunday and let me tell you, it has made a difference in my daily meals since then. I was also exercising before joining this site but I was consistent in keeping up with my eating diary, exercise, diary, etc. Keep up the great work and I know that you would look beautiful in your dress!!! Good luck!
