in Introduce Yourself
My name is Mike, and I am 32 years old from CT. I am starting MFP once again, this time for real, with hopes of losing 100lbs by next October 2013! That is my wedding on October 20th and I want to be in shape for me and my fiance and our future. I have tried several diet plans and never reached my goal, only to gain my weight back. I hope that with your help, my motivation, and my goals in mind, I can attain this goal once and for all! I encourage your help, feedback, motivation, advice, etc to help me get there, Thanks and I look forward in doing this voyage with all of you! My username is Mikec1980

    Hi Mike, I think it is wonderful and congratulations on your upcoming wedding! I am also attending a wedding about the same time frame, but Nov 2013 for our son and his beautiful fiance! I also need to lose about 100lbs and am looking for support, too. Perhaps, we both could cheer each other on towards success! I know you can do it, and probably a lot faster than me. My husband and I live out on the East coast and our family is in the midwest. I would love to go back and surprise them all with a new me! We can do it!

    I'm new to the site as well. At my high weight (300lbs) I had about 100-110 pounds to lose. I lost 90 and got cocky. I have spent the last year and half backsliding over and over. I've only been able to maintain about 60 pounds of my loss so I'm looking to finally break through the 100 pound barrier and live the life I deserve.

    Get the weight off before that wedding!!!! You will be so glad that you did! I wish I would have put my all into it before my wedding. I had a trainer kicking my but but I was still eating crap constantly. I rarely look at my wedding pictures because I am so big in those pictures. Good luck and please add me. I need friends on here too.

    About 100 to lose here too, and that sounds so scary to me. I'd like to do it in a year. I'm looking for as much support as possible too. Have sent a friend request. And would love to get to know others with similar goals, too!

    Hi congratulations on starting your journey. I have an initial major goal of 100lbs (because anything more is too scary) I have a goal in mind of may 2014 - my 20th wedding anniversary but I think it will take longer. I definately want to be down by 60-80lb which might be more achievable. I have been using MFP for 3 weeks now and have found great support and encouragement here from the community. Feel free to add me if you like. Starting is hard so congratulations and we are here to help keep you on track and celebrate your success with you.
