I am new to this site, but I am really excited about it. I think that this could be the answer to my weight problem. I need to lose about 50lbs and I want to do this in a safe but quick way as I am getting married in March 2013 and I want to have lost as much as I could have by that point. My problem is, I love my food! I have started running this week and bought some Jillian Michaels DVDs as well as kettlebells. I know if I exercise, I can eat more so I will need to keep track of all my exercise and food eaten! I am getting really excited about the wedding, but I just need to be pushed on a daily basis. Anyone out there who wants to be friends and help me along would be more than welcome.

    Hi and welcome!

    Congrats on the wedding - that's super exciting ;)

    I am really glad that you're excited. That is a great start!! I was terrible at my exercise and then once I started, I made myself a little goal and haven't looked back since. I find it helps if you follow a routine like 30 Day Shred so you can't say you don't feel like it because you really need to and then before you know, you don't even have that many doubts anymore, it's just something you do. Like brushing your teeth!!

    Please feel free to add me! I'd love to help where I can xx
