Hello everyone! My name is Erin and I am brand new to fitnesspal but so not new to the weight loss world. I can't remember a time in my life when I wasn't overweight but I can remember all my life trying new diets and trying to get "skinny". There was always someone I was trying to impress or trying to be like and that was my motivation. Well, not this time! This time I'm doing it for ME! I have be blessed to find a man who loves me for me and supports me in all my goals and aspirations. And here I am... shredding for my wedding! I can't believe it... I'm getting married in literally 3 months and I have that amount of time to lose as much weight as I can.
I began my weight loss journey on February 21, 2013 and today I weight 16 pounds lighter. :)
I'm here for motivation and support. I need help with different exercises for tummy fat and recipes for healthy eating. I hope I can find that here and make friends who motivate me and maybe I could motivate some people.
