Returning to MFP as a bride-to-be and needing motivation!

Hi Everyone,
I joined myfitnesspal two summers ago and lost 15 pounds. After the summer ended, I went back to my old habits and gained all of my weight back (and then some). Since then, I graduated college and began teaching kindergarten. As my life continued to become more hectic, exercise and healthy eating habits went on the backburner (the WAY backburner). Now that I am engaged and planning a wedding for June 2014, I have more motivation to get back to the way I used to be. Being that I used to be very active and fit...the past few months have been a wake-up call for me.

I remember this site as being extremely helpful and inspirational, and I hope that it can help me this time to achieve my goals once again. I refuse to try on any wedding dresses until I begin to look and feel better!

I cannot turn back now...I am registered to run the last leg of a marathon relay in May 2013 (6.2 miles). For the record, I am NOT a runner.

Thanks for reading!
