    My name is Tina and I have about 60 more pounds to lose. I just got married in October and we didn't have a wedding. We want to have a wedding in June/July and we also want to have a baby. I would hate to get pregnant now with all the weight, so I would love to lose weight and be healthy caring a baby. Good luck to you an your weightloss. :)

    You can add me! I love to help keep others motivated!

    You did the right thing by getting on here. The support is great and the website has everything you need to start leading a healthier life! Don't think of it as a diet, or something just to get "some" weight off. Think of it as a new lifestyle. The great thing about this website is that you don't have to give up your favorite foods, just everything in moderation. My biggest piece of advice is to log EVERYTHING. Gum, that little bit cookie dough left in the bowl, the pizza crust your date didn't finish. This is so important in the beginning, because it really opens your eyes to what you're putting in your body. Be honest with yourself, you are doing this for you, and you will thank yourself in the end :-)

    I lost 40lbs in 2000, and slowly gained it all back and then some. My highest point was in 2006, and said enough was enough. I made a lifestyle change, and never looked back. Officially down 50lbs since then.

    I know how hard it can be. I've seen the weight come off then on. I know the struggles. And I too am getting married! You CAN do it! One day at a time :-)
