in Introduce Yourself
Hey! my name is Katie, and I am new to fitness pal! My best friend has been using it to track his calories over the last year, and loves it, so here I am!

I am hoping to lose some weight. Over the last year, I've entered the 'love pudge' of my relationship (ya know, you fall in love, and gain a bunch of weight?), and gained 30 lbs! Well we're getting married next June, I've already bought the dress, and I really want it to fit well. I'm hoping to lose 55 lbs before the wedding.

We've also just moved to a new city, so I don't have much a support system here, other than my fiancee, who is also trying to lose. We are starting off well, but I'd love to find a community of people who are on the same path as we are, to help keep motivated!

So that brings me to here! Please, introduce yourself -- lets be weight loss buddies!

    Hi welcome to MFP, I love the way you used 'love pudge', sounds so much better than 'fat' lol! I too have gained weight after I got married almost 4 years and 2 kids ago. I've lost 8 and have about 11 or so to go. You can add me too if you'd like, friends are such great motivation for me when I see them getting their exercise in and losing weight, makes me want to try harder
