in Introduce Yourself
Hello everyone, I'm trying this fitness pal thing for a second time. I'm getting married in just over a year and I don't want to be a fat bride. I refuse to get married the size I am now and have to look at myself in wedding photos for years to come. I know this is going to be an up hill battle as I have very little will power when it comes to food.

Good luck to everyone on here and I hope you meet your goals

Xxx

    hey there,
    im getting married as well but in july, this is also my second time on mfp. being my 2nd time getting married and i learned from my first wedding that the pics are all you walk away with at the end of the day so the way i look for them really gets me to want to lose the weight. im the type of person(lol i feel) that i take 50% good pics and 50%horibble ones and on that day there is no hiding from the cameras, youll be the center of attention. i also learned that putting the extra money into the pics are totally worth it so since i am i wanna look good. i know i wont have the body i want by then but hopefully i can get to a comfortable weight. best of luck with your weight loss and planning. try not to get stressed out over things, youll have enough on your plate.

    Hi girls, i have just been through the same thing last year when i got married in May. I managed to reach my goal for wedding pictures with a lot of dedication and hard work. I found small changes made a big difference. When i did it i cut out bad carbs and upped the protein a little which in turned helped me drop fat, i did not cut them out completely i just switched to wholegrain which seemed to keep me a lot fuller. Hope this can be of some use to you both. Good luck :)
