Bride-To-Be

charmingbirch

Hi all,

Joined MFP back in August.

I am engaged to a very active, very in-shape firefighter and our wedding is scheduled for next year around this time. We were both overweight when we met, and while he's since dropped the weight, I haven't. I have quite a bit to lose -- I'm looking to drop at least 50 lbs. between now and next August. I have more than that to lose, but I'm trying to be realistic about it. My fiance is very supportive, but he's also very busy with work, so I signed up here for motivation.

It's going to be tough, changing my eating habits. I have been successful in the past with weight loss -- eat "clean" and exercise on a regular basis for a couple months, but fall off the wagon soon after. What's different this time is that I cringe thinking about myself in a wedding dress at present, so I really want to start off my marriage being happy and healthy and stick to it. :-)

Hi-

I'm a bride-to-be also, and that stupid (lovely) white dress is what is really getting my butt into gear. My timeline it a little longer than yours, since we're not looking to get married until 2014, but I'm happy to be here for you!
