A good friend of my introduced me to MFP and I'm super excited to start today. My name is Rachel and I'm 26 years old. I'm a new mommy to a beautiful little girl. She is my world. I have a wonderful stepson also. Claire is 6months old and Austin is 9 years old. I decided after being asked to be the maid of honor for my brother's wedding and trying on dresses, that it's time to lose all this baby weight plus some. I hope by June of next year I will fit into a size 8 dress. I want to say good luck to everyone else on your journey to a better you!!!!!!!!

    I also started my journey today for the same reasons as you actually. I will be in a wedding in November and do not want to be the fat bridesmaid. I also am a Mom needing to set a good example and shed those pounds and then some. I would love to be friends on here and follow each other through the process if you are interested.
