Hoping to shed this weight before getting married :)

My name is Michelle, I've been with my fiance around 2 years now. We haven't set a date yet but we will soon, it will most likely be mid 2014. I've been going thorugh dental processes since April and Wednesday is my final appt, so I look forward to being able to eat normal over the next couple months and hopefully I will be able to up my calorie intake and lose more weight then. I have around 100 pounds I'd like to lose. I started at 249 and now I'm 241 and would love to to have friends on MFP going thorugh similar situations. Whether it's weight wise, dental, wedding etc. I'm realistic and don't expect to be able to lose it ALL within a year but I know I will feel so much better about myself no matter what weight I get down to as long as it's under 200 again.

    I have similar goals. My boyfriend hasn't proposed yet but we have discussed marriage so eventually it will happen ;) I also have 100lbs to lose and want to be ready for a wedding when the time comes. Also be healthy to get pregnant! Feel free to add me. Good luck on your journey!
  • Hello, I am not experiencing the same things you are, but would like to be your friend. I'm a grandma of 8, soon to be 9, and I have 4 children. When one of my nieces got married she tipped the scales over 200 and now is about 130. You know, you are beautiful at any weight and I realize a lot of brides want to be the 'perfect weight' on their wedding day. But I can tell you that if you are in love, any weight will suit your beau. If you want encouragement, I will try to be their for you.
