Hi my fitness pal community. I am new to this site and it was recommened to me by my fiance. Which is part of the reason I have begun my diet. Thanks to nursing school and a few months of unemployment 3 yrs ago I have gained more weight than I would care too. I want to feel and look healthier, but I haven't really been able to commit to any diet or exercise plan. Now that I will be getting married in May of 2013 and wedding dress shopping will begin early next year I have become serious about my weight loss mission. I hope I can stay motivated through this whole process. But, with the support of my fiance, family, friends and hopefully myftinesspal community I will. If anyone has any tips on how to stay motivated they will be greatly apperciated! =)

    Hi! Welcome! Nursing school weight gain just sounds too familiar-I am a nurse too, and between nursing school, having kids and stress at work --the weight just kept climbing up... well, i am serious this time around too, so hopefully everything will work out... I just sent you a friend request! Good Luck!

    Welcome! I just read something that said brides-to-be are THE MOST motivated group of weight-losers. So maybe you could help motivate the rest of us! Staring at my stomach in the mirror usually motivates me. Also, if you have watched I Used to be Fat, and liked it, you could make a count-down calendar. Best of luck!

    Hi everyone,

    I've been on my fitness pal for 10 months now and have lost 72lbs so far, I was nearly 300lbs in weight and this has already made a huge difference to my health and wellbeing, all the very best with your weight loss
