Wedding Mess in Michigan

Options
Hello all ---- My name is Krysten - and I suffer from late night binge eating alongside my 135 lbs of skin and bone hubby. Its soooooooo hard to not sit and eat a bag of doritos with him nightly.

I was approx. 145 lbs. when I got pregnant with m son 10 years ago - during the pregnancy I gained 110 lbs (bedrest and steroids) It took me 8 years to finally care enough to lose the weight --- got down to 162 and SUPRISE --- I was pregnant --- Soooo back up to 212 -- In now sitting at 170 and need to lose at LEAST 25 lbs before August 1st.

    Welcome Krysten! This site makes weight loss so much easier.

    Tell that hubby he needs to be more supportive and not binge on chips in front of you. It'll eventually catch up to him too. My skinny brother could polish off a half pan of lasagna before bed and never gain a pound when he was in his twenties, Things change as you age.

    Hi there! I took a peek at your profile since I see you're in Michigan too....not too far, I am in Westland (originally from Dearborn).

    I joined about this time last year for my best friends wedding last October ( I was maid of honour) and I lost 20 pounds in time for her Oct 4 wedding and I felt great in my dress, it was even a little big! So I know you can do it and you'll look great in yours too!

    Have you picked out the dress yet?
