    If you want it you will do it I am sure! Count the days (yes DAYS) until your wedding day. Print off one sheet per day that counts the days down "55 days to go" etc.etc. and rip one off each morning I have done this and the days are really zooming by. It really helps me to focus, which I have never been able to do before - and there have been a lot of "befores"! Go for it, you are in the right place x

    I know EXACTLY how you feel. I had the realization on jan 1st. And since then, I've lost 11 pounds. You can do it! Baby steps. My first baby step was NO MORE SODA. I replaced it with water and lost 8 pounds in the first 12 days. I was shocked. Plus, the water made me eat less because I wasnt hungry all the time.

    Lets be real. You're gonna have a few tough days, but you can do it. Dont be ashamed here. We're all in the same boat.

    I will let you decide if you want me as a friend or not

    Hi, I'm Barbra (my friends call me Barbi)

    I believe in eating all or most of your calories burnt by exercise to keep your weight loss steady and fuel your body for the exercise you are doing.

    I believe you have to eat the calories MFP tells you too which is on your diary as "my goal"

    I believe your "net" should never go under 1200

    I will not tell you your doing a good job on your diary if you're under your "net" calories

    I will also not comment if your diary is not public

    I WILL be a great support if you are eating right, exercising, and doing it RIGHT without going hungry.

    because it works

    Welcome. :flowerforyou:

    You have all the help, inspiration and keep-on-going mindset for you to change. This website is here to help you to change as and when you want. The tables are of great help. I have only been here for three weeks BUT the one change that helped me is to pick the date a week before you will begin, then to start to change your ways. :noway:

    I placed all that I ate in the food section and so for the exercise. I can see anytime and this is a great way to keep me on track when I feel a bit 'down', and then I changed my diet and exercise routine. You'll be amazed at what you can do.!!!!

    There are friends that are here to help you and keep your spirits up.

    "Just take the plunge and enjoy the swim" :happy:
