Looking to lose 150lb.

Panem

Hey MFP,

I have tried many times before to lose weight, but in my number of attempts - and how much I have given up - I seem to have let myself get out of control. It's not about the food I eat, more about the fizzy drinks I down - which is way too many!!

I get back aches, knee pains and I get out of breath very easily, so normal exercise is very hard for me - I am going to start swimming when I move very soon (to an area that actually has a pool).

I am looking at losing 150lb before my wedding in 2014 - want to be a size 12-14!

Anyone in the same boat, or have done it who have words of advice or wisdom is much appreciated!

Thanks
