Starting the journey!

Hello,
I'm Lauren. I'm a 25 year old school teacher and recently engaged. I'm sure you can guess my "why". Hehe. I want to look and feel great on my wedding day! But not only my wedding day....for the rest of my life!
So...why is losing weight so hard for me? Well...I feel great when I eat healthy. I teach Zumba classes five times a week so I get my excercise in. So, what's the problem? I love the food that isn't good for me (even thought it doesn't make me feel good). And because no one really sees me eating it. What I have noticed from my past experience on Weight Watchers is that when I have support and have people checking in on me, I succeed. So, I'm looking for those people out there that want to be a mentor/coach to someone that needs a push.
Thanks!

Good luck, Lauren! I hope you like this program as much as I do! It forces you to double check yourself ;and random tasty little treats aren't even worth the add, sometimes! I'm on my two month crunch - I was back and forth, working out when I could and eating healthy for the most part, but giving in to a lot of temptation. My main goal (last year) was to look good for my engagement! I lost 10 pounds on this program and LOVED my pictures in front of the castle... it's how I love to look. Then, with the battle with my migraines, working out and eating well weren't helping and became a chore... it was an 8 month struggle and I gained the weight back... but I regained control of them so I could get back on track. I've been back and forth the past few months, but overall, I'm a healthier person! I have ten weeks before my wedding, so I know I can get the 10 pounds off! I know you can do it, too! You are motivated and being on here is a total reminder of the benefits of a healthy lifestyle! Can't wait to cheer you on! You are going to be a stunning, healthy bride!0
